Highlights

  • Bittensor's halving reduced daily TAO issuance by 50% to 3,600 tokens, sharply tightening available supply.
  • Over 70% of TAO is currently staked and the new burn mechanism adds deflationary pressure, constraining overall liquidity.
  • TAO trades under key moving averages with bearish momentum signals, likely to consolidate between $210 and $250; downside risk prevails unless $278.80 resistance breaks.

Tighter token supply and staking deepen pressure amid new network burns

Bittensor's first halving was completed recently, cutting daily TAO issuance from 7,200 to 3,600 tokens and significantly tightening the network’s supply dynamics. This structural shift is accompanied by over 70% of all TAO currently being staked, which limits liquidity and can amplify price movements during periods of heightened trading activity. The newly implemented Neuron Registration Burn mechanism requires participants to burn TAO for network access, adding a deflationary component, while the June 2 launch of a staked TAO ETP on Euronext Paris offers regulated institutional exposure to both Bittensor and network rewards  though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Oversold signals intensify as TAO breaks technical support levels

TAO is currently below the MA-20 ($267.05), MA-50 ($269.31), and MA-200 ($253.96), with the Ichimoku Kijun at $278.80 acting as immediate resistance. Momentum signals such as MACD and ADX on the daily chart reflect ongoing weakness and limited trend strength. RSI at 31.83, Stoch RSI at 0.00, and CCI at -184.19 indicate that the asset is in oversold territory, while BBP at -3.73 points to pronounced intraday seller dominance. The Awesome Oscillator is negative, and today’s session featured a gap down from $253.20 to $226.50 before stabilizing mid-range amid persistent intraday volatility.

Limited rebound prospects as consolidation anchors short-term risk

Over the next five trading days, TAO is likely to fluctuate within a price range of $210 to $250, reflecting typical volatility conditions. The probability of a meaningful price rebound remains low, with less than a 20% chance of an upward move from current levels. The base case expects continued sideways consolidation, anchored by support emerging in the $220$225 area. A break below $220 would expose the asset to further downside, while any bullish scenario requires a close above resistance at $278.80, though near-term technicals make this outcome unlikely.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Bittensor’s macro fundamentals gaining strength after the halving, increased staking, and the new burn protocol. He believes recent technical weakness is mainly driven by short-term liquidity, while institutional access through the new ETP may help catalyze future demand. Consolidation is likely in the near term, but underlying structural changes are positive for long-term supply and adoption. "A sustained recovery is possible once sentiment stabilizes, but key resistance at $278.80 must be reclaimed to unlock broader upside opportunities."

Earlier, analysts noted that Bittensor was under sustained bearish pressure despite structural changes such as the protocol halving and ETP launch. The current technical setup reinforces this negative outlook, with traders advised to monitor the $220 support level as a potential inflection point for renewed volatility or further downside risk.
