Near Protocol drops from €4,29 to €4,00 in 24 hours.

Pepe falls 6,64%
Pepe goes from €0,00 to €0,00 in 24 hours.
- A news item posted within the window indicates that PEPE fell sharply after hitting a resistance level and reversing the previous day's advance, which explains the intraday bearish pressure.
- The pressure on PEPE was attributed to the general market downturn and the outflow of capital from speculative assets, with memecoins registering a greater decline than Bitcoin.
- Another coverage described a drop following the rejection of a resistance near $0,00000462, after a previous rebound; that connection is technical and does not identify a fundamental event specific to PEPE.
