NEO/USD was last changing hands slightly to the north of $9.0 per token, up around 47% year-to-date, though the cryptocurrency has now pulled over 10% lower versus its Thursday highs in the $10.40 area.
NEO’s gains really got going around this time last month when the cryptocurrency broke to the north of a downtrend that had been in play going all the way back to March 2022.
