Bittensor slides 10.15% to $167 today

Highlights

Bittensor integrated VoidAI 2.0, expanding from single-chain to multi-chain DeFi by enabling cross-chain liquidity and staking via Chainlink’s router and bridge.
Despite the multi-chain upgrade aimed at improving token utility and attracting a broader user base, TAO’s price remains under sustained selling pressure.
TAO trades at $167.30, below all major moving averages, with technicals signaling strong downside risk and an expected consolidation range of $130–$152 for the next five days.

Expanded utility as multi-chain upgrade meets selling pressure

Recent updates in the Bittensor ecosystem include the integration of VoidAI 2.0, enabling multi-chain access to subnet tokens. The upgrade has utilized Chainlink’s router and bridge to expand liquidity and total value locked by allowing cross-chain liquidity and staking with major blockchains. The move transitions Bittensor from a single-chain to a multi-chain DeFi model, expected to improve token utility and broaden the user base, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, views Bittensor’s ongoing weakness as a signal of persistent market distrust. He notes technicals and fundamentals both point to an unfavorable environment for TAO, with all major averages and momentum tools skewed to the downside. Kharitonov questions the near-term impact of recent DeFi integrations, citing heavy selling and failure to stabilize even as utility expands. In his view, buyers remain disengaged and intraday volatility elevates risk. "Sellers are in absolute control for now, and I see no reason to expect a bullish reversal until Bittensor reclaims key technical levels and sentiment improves materially."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights that Bittensor’s shift to a multi-chain DeFi ecosystem lays the foundation for broader adoption. He believes this fundamental change expands user potential, improves liquidity flows, and could catalyze institutional interest once macro conditions stabilize. Karapetjanc argues that today’s price slide is technical and does not reflect the platform’s evolving roadmap. He expects that forward-looking investors will recognize value in the recent upgrade. "The bullish structure remains fundamentally intact, and further growth is likely as new chain integrations increase network effect and user engagement."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes that TAO’s sharp decline has created short-term oversold signals on most oscillators. He notes that while momentum is decidedly negative, the divergence in daily and intraday readings may present tactical bounce opportunities for nimble traders. Mehta points out that risk remains high, especially if the $167 level fails, but a sudden reversal above $179 could trigger short covering. "While downside dominates, I’d watch for any sentiment shift near $130 for potential contrarian entry setups."

Oscillator signals align with downside volatility surge

Momentum readings show a clear bearish tilt, with the daily MACD signaling "Strong Sell" and the ADX confirming weak trend strength. RSI at 45.08, Stoch RSI mainly oversold on shorter timeframes, and CCI neutral, suggest the asset is moving toward oversold territory, while Bear Power points to seller dominance throughout the session. Awesome Oscillator is neutral, and BBP signals overbought conditions on the daily, but all intraday intervals show oversold, highlighting a split between longer and shorter intraday pressures. Today TAO gapped down at the open (from a previous close of $186.20 to $176.10), falling 10.15% so far and hovering near the intraday low of $167.80, reflecting high volatility and strong downside pressure since the open. The intraday decline confirms the broader momentum signals, with no divergence between price action and major oscillators.

Previously it was reported that Bittensor (TAO) is exhibiting short-term bullish momentum with the price trading above the 20-day moving average but remaining below both the 50-day and 200-day averages, indicating continued medium- and long-term selling pressure. Technical indicators signal mixed momentum, with immediate support near $180.75, resistance at $205, a weak RSI, downside MACD, and a low probability of a sustained breakout, suggesting a likely sideways trading range in the near term.
