Bittensor (TAO) Slips 7% Daily, Yet Analysts Foresee Potential Price Surge
New York, NY – June 16, 2024 – While many leading altcoins are experiencing significant gains today, Bittensor (TAO) has bucked the broader market uptrend, registering a substantial daily decline. Despite this dip, several analysts remain optimistic, suggesting the cryptocurrency could be poised for a rebound that might propel it back to multi-month highs.
TAO is currently trading around $268, marking a 7% drop over the past 24 hours. This downturn occurred even as Grayscale, the digital asset management firm, offered positive remarks about the project. Grayscale recently stated that centralized entities like Anthropic are more susceptible to government intervention, positioning decentralized projects such as Bittensor as a viable alternative.
“Bittensor provides open-source, permissionless access to AI through a decentralized global network,” Grayscale posted on X.
X user Altcoin Sherpa observed that TAO has underperformed many prominent cryptocurrencies, speculating that this weakness might be due to traders preemptively adjusting their positions or already being fully allocated. Nevertheless, the analyst expressed continued confidence in TAO, stating it “looks good” and that they remain invested.
“This current area is a bit of a resistance spot, 200d EMA + S/R level, but if it can break here, I think the low $300s is my next area up,” the X user added.
Ali Martinez also weighed in, suggesting that TAO is approaching the upper boundary of its descending channel. He predicted that a decisive breakout could lead to a significant price increase, potentially reaching $350 and subsequently $420.
The asset’s recent exchange netflow data further supports the possibility of a short-term recovery. In recent weeks, outflows from exchanges have exceeded inflows, indicating that a growing number of investors are moving their assets to self-custody solutions, thereby reducing immediate selling pressure.
Another prominent figure bullish on TAO is Michael van de Poppe. Earlier this week, he described the token’s chart as “phenomenal” and projected a potential price surge to $500. He further opined that the strongest altcoins from recent months, including TAO, could sustain their robust performance in the near term, contingent on Bitcoin (BTC) having established a bottom.
It is worth noting that at the beginning of June, Bitcoin experienced a brief collapse to approximately $59,000, its lowest point in 19 months. While the primary cryptocurrency has since recovered to well above $65,000, following a reported peace deal between Iran and the US, some analysts believe the market may still face further downside before the current cycle concludes.
