Bluntz, a pseudonymous analyst known for his eerily accurate prediction of Bitcoin (BTC) in June 2018, forecasted that the price of BTC would hit a bottom out at $3,200 after reaching an all-time high of $20,000 at the time. True to his foresight, Bitcoin dropped to around the projected price target by December of the same year. 

Now, using technical analysis based on the Elliott Wave principle, Bluntz has shared a price chart displaying Near protocol’s potential rally to over $10. 

The Elliott Wave theory, developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott is a technical methodology that analyzes recurrent and long-term price patterns related to persistent changes in investor sentiment and psychology. This technical tool is used to predict the price movements of cryptocurrencies based on greed and fear. 

Bluntz provided two charts depicting Near Protocol’s price movements against Tether (USDT) and another against Bitcoin. 

In both charts, Near Protocol had undergone a sequence of price fluctuations, moving between green and red zones before exhibiting strong price fundamentals that could potentially propel its price above $10. The crypto analyst has pinpointed a projected timeline for this price surge around mid April, specifically before the 15th.
