You tell an AI agent what you want

NEAR AI understands the request, then NEAR Intents finds and executes the best path across chains

> **Visual Note:** A TradingView chart of NEAR/USD on Coinbase displays a bearish price action with notable range deviations, where an orange arrow highlights a potential long entry near the $2.730 level following a deviation from the range low, aligning with the trader's plan to wait for a third tap before entering a long position.

 is following the exact plan so far. 

It had its first range low deviation.

Now I'm waiting for the 3'd tap to establish, and I'll long on confirmations.

It reinforces the post’s point that THORChain already enables fully decentralized swaps, while raising whether it should add Near Intents-style confidential swaps.
