Bittensor (TAO) To Lead The ‘AI Wave’: Analysts Bullish Despite 10% Price Drop
Bittensor (TAO) has been one of the best-performing AI (Artificial Intelligence) tokens this cycle after surging 180% during Q1 2024. The token has significantly retraced from its march all-time high (ATH) and is currently testing key resistance levels. Some crypto analysts seem unsure about TAO’s short-term performance but remain bullish long-term.

Bittensor Protocol’s token TAO recently saw a major downturn following the broader market retrace. The token, which had recovered the $300 mark in July, faced a significant correction as August started. The price decline deepened on August 5, falling below the $180 level. As the crypto market recovered, TAO’s price surged over 75% from its lowest point last Monday. The token retested the $300 resistance level over the weekend but failed to hold it as the market saw another crash this Monday. Bittensor’s native token registers a 10% drop from its Friday price of $315, which seems to have left some investors and market watchers pondering TAO’s short-term performance. According to renowned analyst Altcoin Sherpa, the AI token might experience another 25%-30% drop soon. To Sherpa, TAO’s “bearish market structure is still there,” which could drive the price below the $200 support level again “pretty soon.” Additionally, the analyst wonders whether AI tokens like TAO will outperform most of the market “like they did in early 2024.” Nonetheless, Gonzo, another market watcher, believes that the token will “lead the AI wave” in the coming months. Replying to Sherpa, the investor suggested that TAO might need to move sideways for a while and “hope that BTC doesn’t dump” to start a new uptrend. Gonzo also considers that Grayscale “might dump it hard to get in cheap” but “will pump it to make money” after launching its Bittensor fund. As reported by NewsBTC, Grayscale Investments announced the offering of its new crypto fund, the Grayscale Bittensor Trust, last week. No Clear Direction For TAO Short-Term Crypto trader Pidgeon analyzed TAO’s long-term performance, finding an unclear path in the shorter timeframes. Per the post, the chart displays a “big head and shoulders” pattern in the weekly timeframes. To the analyst, this pattern, which suggests a trend reversal, “remains completely irrelevant as long as Bittensor holds the $200 support area.” He considers that the chances of TAO holding this level significantly increased after “Monday’s major fakeout and liquidity sweep.” Additionally, Pidgeon highlighted that the token is moving within a clear range between the $210 and $360 levels in the daily timeframe, where the token has previously consolidated. The trader considers there won’t be “major direction until either side breaks.” To break from the downtrend, TAO must reclaim the $310 level before retesting the $360 mark. If it breaks above the $360 trendline, the token’s price could retest the $480 and $570 resistance levels before trying for a new ATH.

Nonetheless, he identified a lower high structure “that it has been stuck in for months” and that “tends to break to the upside.” Ultimately, the trader stated he’s leaning bullish med-long term, but it will depend on “which side of the range it breaks.” As of this writing, TAO is trading at $277, a 4% drop in the last 24 hours.
