Staked TAO ETP debut drives modest trading uptick

Nordic cryptocurrency exchange Safello has launched the Safello Bittensor Staked TAO ETP on the SIX Swiss Exchange, marking Europe's first regulated ETP that offers automatic staking rewards for TAO holders. The new product enables investors to track both TAO’s price and staking rewards through the Kaiko Safello Staked Bittensor Index. Following the ETP's debut, there has been a modest increase in trading activity for Bittensor.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes the decisive technical weakness in Bittensor (TAO). The price is well below all key moving averages and momentum indicators remain deeply negative. He sees little fundamental support, as the daily loss of 15.12% overshadows the recent ETP launch. Sentiment remains fragile despite increased trading activity, and there is substantial risk of another sharp move down should $262 fail to hold. "Until we see genuine reversal signals or stabilization above key resistance, I see no credible bullish case emerging for TAO," Kharitonov says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights the positive impact of Europe's first regulated TAO ETP. He believes institutional-grade access and regulated staking exposure could drive broader adoption. Karapetjanc remains confident that regulatory progress lays a strong long-term foundation, even as short-term volatility persists. "With the ETP launch, I see real opportunities for forward-looking investors as the crypto market matures," says Karapetjanc.

Persistent bearish momentum with no key support evident

TAO is currently trading at $278.50, which is well below the MA-20 at $374.59, MA-50 at $379.36, and MA-200 at $372.80. This signals strong short-term, medium-term, and long-term bearish pressure, with resistance near the Kijun level from Ichimoku at $420.40 and no nearby major dynamic support identified in the data. Momentum indicators point to persistent bearishness, as the MACD remains in sell territory and ADX is neutral, reflecting weak trend strength. Daily RSI is at 36.62 with Stochastic RSI and CCI both indicating oversold conditions, while BBP also shows sellers are dominating intraday. The Awesome Oscillator does not contradict the downtrend; today’s session shows a sharp drop of 15.12% with price opening lower than the previous close, signaling a trading gap and heavy pressure after the open. The current price is near the low of today’s range, reflecting high intraday volatility and sustained bearish momentum. There is clear alignment between declining price action and strongly negative momentum, with no notable divergence among the core oscillators.

Last time we reported that TAO was expected to consolidate in the $402.80 to $408.30 range with potential for volatility. Previously, it was noted that the short-term outlook for TAO was described as balanced and momentum indicators remained neutral.
