Worldcoin Price Analysis – Why WLD Could Rally to $0.89 Soon

Highlights:

• Worldcoin pumped in the last 24 hours but faces resistance at $0.635
• Rallying through this resistance could send WLD to $0.89 short term
• News that OpenAI could leverage WLD tech for a social network is driving momentum

Worldcoin (WLD) is one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies among the top 100. In the last 24 hours, Worldcoin has rallied by 12.95% to trade at $0.52. At the same time, Worldcoin trading volumes have shot up intraday. They are up 825% to $685.4 million.

Such a surge in trading volumes at a time when the price is surging points to rising bullish sentiment. If this sentiment remains strong, Worldcoin could be headed much higher in the short- to medium-term. There are multiple factors supporting the continuation of the rally that Worldcoin has started today.

OpenAI Considering Worldcoin Tech for Bot-Free Social Network

One of them is news that OpenAI is considering using Worldcoin’s Proof-of-personhood technology to launch a bot-free social media platform. This has attracted significant market attention because such a social media platform could easily gain traction to become one of the largest in the world. That’s because bots are one of the biggest problems users have to deal with on social media today.

As such, a human-only social media network could be a breath of fresh air for many users and small companies that rely on social media marketing. By extension, such a use case for Worldcoin’s core technology could see its value rocket back to close to $10 in a short time.

JUST IN: OpenAI is quietly building a social network and considering using biometric verification like World’s eyeball scanning orb or Apple’s Face ID to ensure its users are people, not bots.

Projections for a Strong US Economy Could Send Worldcoin Price Higher

Worldcoin is also getting a boost from developments in the macro environment. Yesterday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell announced that the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady. While holding rates, the Federal Reserve also pointed out that the economy is stable. This is likely to push capital into risk-on assets that usually do well on expectations of a strong US economy. The result is that high-beta assets such as cryptocurrencies could do well going forward. 

Worldcoin, one of the best-known cryptocurrencies in the market today and already showing strong potential, could be headed higher in the short to medium term. Besides the rates and the outlook on the US economy, there is the ongoing debate around the market structure bill.

This bill is expected to pass soon and bring clarity to the markets. The result is that institutions are more likely to be conservative retail investors, and they are likely to buy into cryptocurrencies more confidently. For Worldcoin and other well-known cryptocurrencies, this could mean a rally to new highs in the foreseeable future.

Regulatory Issues Could Temper Worldcoin Momentum in the Short Term

However, some factors could temper Worldcoin’s momentum at least in the short term. One of them is the regulatory issues it continues to face with its iris scans worldwide. Recently, a Kenyan court ordered the deletion of all data collected by the Worldcoin project through eye scans. The same has happened in other countries, including Thailand.

Such setbacks could see investors continue to sell their Worldcoin until there is clarity from the market. At the same time, macro issues, such as the risk of the US invading Iran, are driving capital into risk-off assets, such as Gold. Such could keep investors away from risk-on assets such as Worldcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Technical Analysis – Worldcoin Price Still Rangebound Despite Intraday Rally

Worldcoin is still trading between the $0.635 resistance and $0.439 support. If bulls take control and push Worldcoin past the $0.635 resistance, a short-term rally to $0.893 could follow.

On the other hand, if bears take control and push Worldcoin price below the $0.439 support level, a correction to $0.276 could follow. Of these two scenarios, a rally to $0.89 is more likely, backed by excitement around a social network platform from OpenAI.
