Bittensor just went on a 30% run in a single week, pushing the TAO price above $299 and putting the AI crypto back on every trader’s radar. But the move came with high-profile endorsements and a flood of fresh capital into the ecosystem.
Coinpedia Markets shared a detailed chart on X breaking down the technical setup behind the rally. Combined with praise from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, the pieces are lining up for what could be a sustained recovery.
What the Chart Says: TAO Breaks Out With Eyes on $341
The daily chart from Coinpedia shows TAO reclaimed the descending resistance trendline that had capped every rally since November. Price now trades at $299.6, comfortably above the 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs (which sit at $218.9, $268.4, and $268.4 respectively). That’s a clean technical shift.
The RSI sits at 79.40, deep in overbought territory, but that’s what strong buying pressure looks like. The MACD remains above the signal line in positive territory, confirming momentum is still pointed up.

Immediate resistance sits at $305.30, close to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $294.30. If TAO can close a daily candle above $305.30, the next major target is the 50% retracement at $341.10; about 14% higher from current levels. That would be the first step toward easing the broader bearish structure that has dominated since the $539 high.
Support remains at $268.4 (the 100-day EMA) and $218.9 (the 20-day EMA). As long as price holds these levels, the bullish outlook stays intact.

The Fundamentals: Why Jensen Huang and Chamath Matter
The technical breakout didn’t happen in a vacuum. The past week brought attention from two heavyweight names in tech and investing. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company is at the center of the AI hardware boom, praised decentralized AI training — the exact thesis Bittensor is built on. Chamath Palihapitiya, a major tech investor, also highlighted Bittensor’s milestone of training a 72-billion-parameter model across a fully decentralized network.
That kind of validation from outside crypto shifts the narrative. It signals that Bittensor is infrastructure that legitimate players are watching.
The market responded with capital. Futures open interest on TAO surged from $131.94 million on March 4 to $361.15 million, before easing slightly to $331.95 million. That’s fresh money entering the market, not just existing traders rotating positions. Trading volume in the Bittensor ecosystem hit $677 million on Sunday, the highest since November 7, and remained strong at $521 million on Friday.
When open interest and volume rise together with price, it’s a sign of conviction.
