Bittensor (TAO)’s price has risen 10% in the last 24 hours, solidifying its position as the largest artificial intelligence coin by market cap at $4.2 billion. The Ichimoku Cloud, RSI, and EMA lines all point to a strong uptrend.

The RSI at 65 suggests there’s still room for further gains before entering the overbought territory, while the EMA setup supports a potential climb to $625.

TAO Ichimoku Cloud Shows The Uptrend Is Strong

The Ichimoku Cloud chart for TAO shows a bullish trend. The price is trading above the cloud (Senkou Span A and B), indicating upward momentum. The Tenkan-Sen (blue line) and Kijun-Sen (orange line) are also positioned below the price, supporting the bullish sentiment.

The cloud itself has shifted to green, reinforcing mid-term support, while the upward slope suggests continued strength in the uptrend.

However, the price is approaching key resistance levels, and the narrowing gap between the Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen indicates a possible slowdown in momentum. If TAO fails to maintain its position above the Tenkan-Sen, a pullback toward the cloud could occur.

Conversely, a breakout above current levels would confirm the continuation of the bullish trend, with the green cloud acting as a cushion for any potential retracement.

Bittensor Isn’t Overbought Yet

Bittensor RSI has risen to 65 from 49 in the last two days, reflecting strong bullish momentum as the price surges. The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, measures the speed and magnitude of price movements on a scale of 0 to 100.

Values above 70 indicate overbought conditions, suggesting a possible pullback, while values below 30 signal oversold levels, often leading to a recovery. The current RSI shows that while Bittensor is nearing overbought territory, it still has room for further gains before a correction.

Historically, TAO’s price has continued to climb until its RSI reaches 72 or 75, which suggests the current uptrend may have more room to run. If the RSI continues to rise, TAO could extend its rally in the short term.

TAO Price Prediction: Back to $600 Soon?

TAO’s EMA lines are currently very bullish, with short-term lines positioned above long-term ones and the price trading above all of them. This setup indicates strong upward momentum, supported by consistent buying pressure.

If this bullish sentiment continues, TAO price could climb another 8% to test resistance around $625, solidifying its uptrend and TAO’s dominance as the biggest artificial intelligence coin in the market.

However, if the current uptrend loses strength, TAO price may face a retest of key support levels at $510 and $487. Should these supports fail, the price could decline further to $449, marking a significant 22% correction.

President-elect Donald Trump reportedly interviewed Paul Atkins for the position of SEC Chair. Several reports claimed that Atkins is the current favorite for the role, boosting his prediction market odds.

Atkins previously served as the SEC Chair and pursued crypto advocacy in the private sector after his tenure concluded.

Paul Atkins: The Next SEC Chair?

According to a Bloomberg report, Trump is considering Atkins to be a leading candidate for this role. Since 2020, Atkins has been serving on the advisory board of the Chamber of Digital Commerce. He’s a known advocate for blockchain development and investments.

If selected, Atkins will replace Gary Gensler in late January once Trump takes office. The current SEC chair announced his impending resignation earlier this month while also defending his pessimistic perspective towards the crypto market.

“Atkins is someone who is not only crypto-savvy but possesses a deep understanding of the inner workings of the agency as both a former commissioner and staffer. Atkins is seen as being capable of establishing a pro-innovation agenda while returning the agency to a … standard many… feel was lost under… Gensler,” claimed Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett.

Donald Trump has sworn to support crypto through a sweeping plan of appointments and reforms in his upcoming administration. Although Trump plans to turn over much of the SEC’s jurisdiction over crypto to the CFTC, the SEC is nevertheless a vital component of crypto regulation. In this role, Atkins could significantly benefit the industry.

Terrett claimed that Atkins is currently the most likely candidate for the position, but this is not set in stone. Several other candidates, including those with SEC experience, are also in the funning. For example, “Crypto Mom” Hester Peirce is also a possible candidate, and she is a current SEC Commissioner under Gensler.

If nothing else, these rumors have proved credible in the past. As BeInCrypto reported earlier, Trump also nominated pro-crypto candidate Scott Bessent for the role of Treasury Secretary. If this buzz proves correct, Paul Atkins will lead a much friendlier SEC than Gensler’s.

Overall, it’s now becoming highly likely that the US will have a pro-crypto advocate as the SEC leader and its regulatory scrutiny of the industry will likely ease.
