Four major altcoins - 
NEAR Protocol, 
XRP, 
Zcash, and Shiba Inu - are currently facing critical support tests as the broader crypto market remains under pressure. According to U.Today, the outcome of these tests could determine whether these coins can recover or will continue to decline.
NEAR Protocol, in particular, is experiencing significant downward pressure, with its price dropping 9.28% in the last 24 hours and 14.19% over the past week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) has also decreased by 13.2% in the last week, currently standing at $112.9 million, according to DeFiLlama.
XRP is showing a slight 24-hour gain of 0.26% but is down 4.43% over the week, currently trading at $1.25. Zcash has seen a more pronounced decline, with a 24-hour drop of 6.22% and a 7-day loss of 6.73%, currently priced at $1153.66. Shiba Inu data was not specifically detailed in the coverage but is implied to be in a similar testing phase.
The overall crypto market cap has fallen to $2.65 trillion, with 
Bitcoin down 1.41% in the last 24 hours. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains in 'Fear' territory at 26, indicating continued market uncertainty.
The next few daily closes will be crucial for these altcoins. If they fail to hold their current support levels, further declines could be expected. Conversely, a successful bounce could signal a potential recovery phase.
