FET/USD trades with strong upside momentum and is expected to range from $0.1683 to $0.2087 over the next five trading days.

Token outflows escalate after cross-chain bridge exploit at ASI Alliance

On September 19–20, 2026, Fetch.ai reported a security breach in which an attacker exploited a compromised signature key connected to SingularityNET's cross-chain bridge, leading to the loss of 8.7 million FET tokens worth around $1.53–$1.55 million from its Ethereum token converter. The attacker also compromised NuNet, resulting in a total estimated loss of $2 million across both platforms in the ASI Alliance. Fetch.ai has confirmed the incident, released an on-chain analysis, and is working with SingularityNET to deactivate affected wallets and contracts.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees recent FET gains as fragile despite the technical rally. He notes that the security breach exposing $2 million in alliance losses points to persistent vulnerabilities and dampens institutional confidence. The MA-50 below the MA-200 signals a bearish long-term bias. Kharitonov warns that bullish momentum indicators could fade quickly if trust does not recover. "Unless decisive steps rebuild investor confidence, I see little justification for sustainable upside in FET."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights FET's resilience as a positive signal for buyers after navigating the security breach. He sees the market structure as robust, with strong technical momentum and a quick response from the ASI Alliance reinforcing trust. Karapetjanc believes bullish sentiment is supported by the asset's position above all key moving averages and expects further growth as volatility persists. "The bullish structure remains intact and I expect FET to offer multiple setups for upside continuation this week."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, sees FET's technical setup as promising but cautions that long-term downtrends have not been invalidated. Mehta believes the price sitting near the upper band, with volatility high, suggests traders should watch for a breakout above $0.1887 before chasing momentum. "A potential breakout above resistance could trigger tactical entries — but I would position defensively until confirmation."

Momentum holds near highs as technical boundaries signal underlying strength

FET/USD is trading above the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages at $0.1668, $0.1534, and $0.1883, signaling broad strength across short-, medium-, and long-term trends. The near-term ceiling is $0.1887, with immediate floor support at $0.1883. The long-term trend structure remains bearish as the MA-50 remains below the MA-200. Momentum indicators are broadly positive: MACD and ADX reflect ongoing bullish momentum, RSI stands at a neutral bullish 55.9, and CCI supports further gains. The Stochastic RSI is neutral, indicating no extreme conditions, while a positive Bull/Bear Power (0.0115) suggests buyers remain in control. The Awesome Oscillator is also positive, supporting the bullish momentum. FET/USD is up $0.0204, or 12.14%, today after an upside gap of about $0.0073 (4.34%), with the price trading near the top of the daily range. Intraday volatility is 6.38%, and session tone is strong near highs. Overall, momentum strength largely matches the rapid gains even as some oscillators remain midrange.

Previously it was reported that despite a major security breach, Fetch.ai was showing signs of short-term technical strength and likely moving into a consolidation phase. The current analysis extends this view by highlighting sustained bullish momentum across multiple timeframes, with a break above $0.1887 now emerging as the key level for a potential continuation toward the upper end of the projected trading range.
