Long-term AI revenue pipeline lifts outlook as selling persists

Core Scientific has secured over $24 billion in potential AI hosting revenue, bringing a substantial pipeline of long-term contracted income, according to Crypto. This development broadens the company’s service legitimacy in the AI infrastructure segment and is viewed as a move to strengthen its financial stability and future growth prospects. Nevertheless, price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Seller dominance intensifies with oversold signals and weak momentum

On the h1 timeframe, CORZ trades below the MA-20 at $18.96 and the MA-50 at $19.72, with the daily MA-200 capped at $19.79. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at $19.33, acting as immediate resistance. Momentum signals are negative: both MACD and Awesome Oscillator indicate a sell bias, while ADX is neutral and does not confirm trend strength. RSI reads 35.39, which is in sell territory, and both CCI and Bull/Bear Power confirm an oversold condition with sellers dominating. Stoch RSI is neutral, suggesting selling may be approaching exhaustion, and the session featured high intraday volatility near the day’s lows.

Further downside and consolidation likely as resistance caps upside

Over the next several days, CORZ is expected to trade within a range of $17.04 to $19.14, reflecting typical volatility seen recently. The probability of an upward move is very low, while the likelihood of further downside continuation is high. Baseline expectation is sideways consolidation within this band. A break above the $19.33 resistance on renewed buying would open the door to a bullish scenario, while a decisive move beneath $17.04 could trigger further selling.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Core Scientific’s substantial AI revenue pipeline as a positive shift for its fundamentals. However, he remains skeptical given ongoing weak technicals and strong selling pressure below key moving averages. Near-term price action signals high risk of further downside and limited room for a rebound. "Until CORZ reclaims $19.33 on convincing momentum, I remain defensive and favor sidelined positions."

Previously it was reported that Core Scientific faced persistent downside risk as technical signals indicated ongoing selling pressure. The current analysis continues to reinforce a cautious outlook, with traders advised to monitor the $19.33 resistance for any signs of a shift in momentum.
