Bittensor Price Prediction – TAO Eyes $320 as Investors Shift Focus Back to AI

Highlights:

• TAO up strongly intraday, backed by a parabolic surge in volumes.
• Rally driven by expansion to the Robinhood chain and rising excitement around AI.
• TAO could rally to $321 if bulls push through multi-month resistance at $270.77.

Bittensor (TAO) is up strongly intraday, even as the broader market remains directionless due to a US trading holiday. When writing, Bittensor was trading at $264.75, up 11.5% in the day. Bittensor’s trading volumes are also up sharply in the day, rising 244% to stand at $594.8 million. 

The surging volumes alongside the price on a day of low institutional participation go to show that retail interest in Bittensor is high. This hints at potentially stronger gains once US institutional capital comes back on Tuesday, September 8. Multiple factors support Bittensor’s intraday key, including a resurgence of investor interest in AI assets. 

Renewed Excitement In AI Pushing Bittensor Price Higher

Despite the thin liquidity due to the US holiday, the Nasdaq is pushing higher in the futures markets. This is despite recent US jobs data and oil prices remaining elevated. Since AI stocks primarily drive the Nasdaq, their strength indicates renewed investor confidence in the AI trade. The same is reflected in the cryptocurrency market, where AI cryptocurrencies are also gaining traction. 

Bittensor is particularly well-positioned to capture these gains because it has carved out a strong market position as a decentralized AI platform. The total market cap of subnets on the Bittensor network is now close to $1 billion. With such market positioning and Bittensor trading well below its all-time highs, FOMO could kick in the short term. The intraday price on a holiday already hints at a possible parabolic rally for TAO.

TAO Expansion to Robinhood Chain Adding to Demand

Bittensor is also getting a boost from expanded access. One of the biggest news stories around Bittensor is the recent expansion onto the Robinhood chain. This gives TAO expanded liquidity, especially as Robinhood adoption grows quickly. The result is that demand could surge as investors buy altcoins showing positive price action relative to the broader market.

The expansion to Robinhood also comes as Bittensor updates its subnet emissions. Through these upgrades, on-demand subnets will earn more rewards. The result is that the Bittensor ecosystem will strengthen over time by rewarding winners more. This, along with the TAO token’s expanded access to a wider pool of investors, could trigger a rally back to all-time highs. 

Possible US Rate Hike Could Stall Bittensor Price Rally

Despite intraday gains, Bittensor faces macro challenges, like every other cryptocurrency. One of the biggest risks to Bittensor is a possible rate hike in the US. Last week, US jobs data came out strong, adding to the already strong speculation that the Federal Reserve could hike rates. If the Federal Reserve hikes rates, it could make investments in high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies less attractive. The impact would be a sharp drop, followed by a gradual correction until the Federal Reserve reverses course. 

Technical Analysis – TAO Trading At Resistance Despite Intraday Gains

Despite the day’s rally, TAO is still facing major resistance at $270.77. If bulls are strong enough to push TAO through this resistance, a rally to $321.16 could follow. On the other hand, if the bulls lose momentum, two scenarios could play out.

The first is a possible consolidation just below resistance, pending bulls regaining momentum. The second is when bears take control and push TAO back to the $192.74 support level. Of these scenarios, a rally to $321.16 is more likely. This is due to the resurgence of excitement around AI assets. Bittensor, being one of the best in this space, stands to gain significantly as AI FOMO returns.
