Bittensor’s 28% Rally Turns Anthropic Curbs Into $300 Test

Bittensor (TAO) rose 28% over the past week as Anthropic’s access restrictions revived demand for decentralized AI tokens.

Key Points:

Bittensor Rally

Bittensor gained 9% in 24 hours, extending its weekly advance to 28% as buyers rebuilt momentum from the $180.90 support area.

The move followed repeated failed attempts by sellers to push the token lower, after which buyers absorbed supply and held price action in a narrow range.

TAO then accelerated from about $215 to $267.40 in two sessions, reclaiming the 20-day simple moving average at $220.70 and breaking through resistance that had capped prior advances.

Trading volume strengthened during the breakout and produced its highest positive reading in nearly two months, while the relative strength index rose to 59.2 from below 40.

TAO Outlook

Anthropic’s decision to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for foreign nationals after a U.S. government directive gave the rally a broader catalyst.

The restriction drew attention to a risk in centralized AI, where access can be limited by regulation even when user demand remains strong.

That argument helped traders rotate toward decentralized AI projects, pushing TAO toward the $272-$279 area as reported volume rose above $560 million.

The rally now depends on whether demand can survive after the first reaction to Anthropic’s decision fades.

TAO later reached $292.20 after a liquidity sweep near $182.50, but resistance near a May supply zone stopped the advance and triggered a pullback.

The $244.70-$255 range now matters because it served as resistance before the breakout and has become the recovery’s key support area.

A hold above that zone would keep the $300.60 level in view, while a loss would expose TAO to a deeper move toward $210-$220.

Bittensor’s latest move also follows earlier AI-token rallies this year, when traders used TAO as a liquid proxy for decentralized machine intelligence during periods of stress in the centralized AI sector.
