The cryptocurrency market is showing some strength in the second week of March 2026, with some assets such as Bittensor (TAO), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), and several others recovering from their deep corrections. Today, highly-followed crypto market analyst Michaël van de Poppe put forward a fresh outlook on the two major names in the AI crypto sector: TAO and NEAR.

Today, the wider crypto market found a temporary balance as Bitcoin and Ethereum are stabilizing, as indicated by their current prices hovering at $67,617 and $1,990, up 1.99% and 2.18% over the past week, respectively. However, new data reported by the analyst indicates that crypto AI tokens are performing something different. Although most of the AI crypto market moves sideways, TAO and NEAR are printing steady weekly gains and defending higher lows. While their price rises are not explosive, they are controlled, consistent, and structurally constructive, reflecting a wider AI sector capital rotation.

TAO And NEAR Build Bullish Momentum

Based on his latest market analysis, Michaël van de Poppe identified Bittensor as one of the best-performing AI tokens defying ongoing consolidations currently seen in the wider crypto market. Today, TAO recorded an impressive 9.8% rise registered over the past 24 hours. Its price has also been up 10.0% and 18.3% over the past week and monthly respectively, an indicator of heightened buying activity.

In his analysis, the analyst shared a weekly chart showing TAO’s recent surge, which enabled it to break free from a long-established descending triangle pattern. This breakout positions TAO for a potential, massive spike, with the analyst predicting a surge of up 57%, setting a potential climb to the $305.23 target soon. Currently trading at $194.42, TAO’s recent breakout is creating increasing enthusiasm among traders who are showing rising confidence in its crypto AI market capability and positioning themselves for greater, imminent market gains.

The analyst also identified that the NEAR Protocol is preparing to trigger a sharp 50-57% upside move, similar to TAO’s breakout momentum. NEAR’s price, which currently stands at $1.23, has been up 3.8% and 17.55 over the past week and month, respectively, displaying its recent gains that have fueled investor confidence. Pushing its price through crucial resistance levels, after months of consolidations, NEAR’s recent rise allowed it to break out of a descending triangle pattern, paving the way for a huge rally towards the $1.9311 target.

TAOUSDThe current price of Bittensor is $195.68.

Bittensor And Near Embrace Altcoin Season

In short, Michael van de Poppe pointed out NEAR and TAO as crypto assets that are set to benefit massively from the altcoin season. Typically, altcoin season is a time when Bitcoin is outperformed by other cryptocurrencies in the market. This season happens when altcoins experience a rally as their prices outperform that of Bitcoin, a period that lasts weeks or even months.

The analyst identified TAO and NEAR as potential beneficiaries of the altcoin season, noting that Bitcoin’s ongoing consolidation is a sign of healthy capital rotation to altcoins, providing an opportunity for alternative cryptocurrencies to gain ground.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…

Music body ICMP laments “wilful” theft of artists’ work

Music body ICMP laments “wilful” theft of artists’ work

The post Music body ICMP laments “wilful” theft of artists’ work appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A major music industry group, ICMP, has lamented the use of artists’ work by AI companies, calling them guilty of “wilful” copyright infringement, as the battle between the tech firms and the arts industry continues. The Brussels-based group known as the International Confederation of Music Publishers (ICMP) comprises major record labels and other music industry professionals. Their voice adds to many others within the arts industry that have expressed displeasure at AI firms for using their creative work to train their systems without permission. ICMP accuses AI firms of deliberate copyright infringement ICMP director general John Phelan told AFP that big tech firms and AI-specific companies were involved in what he termed “the largest copyright infringement exercise that has been seen.” He cited the likes of OpenAI, Suno, Udio, and Mistral as some of the culprits. The ICMP carried out an investigation for nearly two years to ascertain how generative AI firms were using material by creatives to enrich themselves. The Brussels-based group is one of a number of industry bodies that span across news media and publishing to target the fast-growing AI sector over its use of content without paying any royalties. Suno and Udio, who are AI music generators, can produce tracks with voices, melodies, and musical styles that echo those of the original artists such as the Beatles, Depeche Mode, Mariah Carey, and the Beach boys. “What is legal or illegal is how the technologies are used. That means the corporate decisions made by the chief executives of companies matter immensely and should comply with the law,” Phelan told AFP. “What we see is they are engaged in wilful, commercial-scale copyright infringement.” Phelan. In June last year, a US trade group, the Recording Industry Association of America, filed a lawsuit against Suno and Udio. However, an exception…
