Bittensor (TAO) jumped 10.09% as ETF filings and expanded institutional custody drew fresh buyer interest. The rebound looks limited, with TAO still trading below all its major daily moving averages and facing overhead resistance.
Highlights
- ETF filings by Bitwise and Grayscale, along with new custody options, are increasing Bittensor’s institutional visibility.
- Following token halving, TAO daily emissions dropped to 3,600 and most circulating supply remains locked in staking.
- TAO/USD remains in a bearish trend below major moving averages, with a high likelihood of sideways or downward movement in the $201.2–$229.2 range.
Token supply dynamics shift as asset manager activity intensifies
New ETF filings from Bitwise and Grayscale, along with expanded institutional custody through FalconX’s support for subnet-level staking, have increased the profile of Bittensor. Recent paperwork for a TAO Strategy ETF and ongoing infrastructure developments, such as new exchange listings, mark further progress. Following Bittensor’s token halving, daily emissions fell to 3,600 TAO and most of the circulating supply remains staked, while filings from major asset managers continue to keep the token in focus.
Bearish trend holds as TAO lingers below major moving averages
TAO/USD is positioned below its 20-day ($228.25), 50-day ($241.59), and 200-day ($243.13) moving averages, signaling seller control across all time frames. This bearish setup is confirmed by alignment between the MA-50 and MA-200, pointing to a sustained negative trend. Immediate resistance remains at $228.25, with key support at $217.5. Momentum indicators are negative: the MACD remains on a sell signal, the ADX highlights a weak overall trend, and the RSI, CCI, and Stochastic RSI all register oversold readings. The Bull/Bear Power indicator at -5.79 confirms sellers dominate, with intraday price strength sitting at the higher end of today’s volatile range, even as the price advanced sharply.
Earlier, analysts noted that Bittensor’s rally was fueled by heightened trading activity and improving market participation, signaling a shift from prior downside pressure. The latest combination of institutional developments and persistent technical weakness introduces both heightened volatility and downside risk, making a potential break below $201.2 the critical scenario for traders to monitor in the days ahead.
