Bittensor has taken a hard hit after its recent climb, and the TAO price now stands near a zone that could decide whether the drop becomes a reset or a deeper breakdown. The chart shows TAO trading around $250 after falling sharply from the $378 area, which makes the next reaction around support very important.

Crypto Patel noted that TAO already made an impulsive move of about 160% before the latest correction began. That rally took the token toward $378, but the pullback has now erased about 40% from that local high.

The attached chart shows why the $204 to $173 area matters. This zone lines up with the 0.618 to 0.786 Fibonacci retracement range, which many analysts treat as a key higher timeframe demand area. A strong hold there could keep the broader bullish structure alive.

Patel’s view is simple. TAO needs to defend this range to keep the recovery case open. A clean loss of $170 would weaken that idea and increase the chance of a move toward $100.

Bittensor Chart Still Shows A Bigger Upside Case Above Key Resistance

The chart also shows a much larger upside projection if TAO price recovers and breaks through major resistance. The first key upside target is near $1,000, followed by $1,500 and then $3,000.

That does not mean TAO will move there quickly. The chart only shows what could become possible if buyers defend the higher timeframe demand zone and push Bittensor back above resistance.

The thick resistance area near the previous high remains the main barrier. A breakout above that zone would place TAO back near price discovery territory, where the chart labels a possible “Above New ATH Rocket” move.

Current TAO Technical Readings Still Lean Negative on the Daily Chart

Indicator Value Action
RSI 14 44.932 Sell
STOCH 9,6 45.722 Neutral
MACD 12,26 6.91 Negative Sell
ADX 14 37.905 Buy
Ultimate Oscillator 45.854 Sell
Bull Bear Power 13 5.278 Negative Sell

The daily readings show that TAO price is not yet fully out of danger. RSI at 44.932 places Bittensor below the neutral 50 level, which means buyers have not regained clear control.

Stochastic at 45.722 is neutral, so it does not confirm a strong reversal yet. MACD remains negative at 6.91 below zero, which keeps pressure on the short term outlook.

ADX at 37.905 shows that the current trend has strength. That reading alone does not confirm direction, so it becomes more concerning when paired with weak RSI, negative MACD, and negative Bull Bear Power.

The Ultimate Oscillator also leans sell at 45.854. Bull Bear Power at 5.278 negative shows sellers still have an edge.

The setup is interesting because TAO has corrected into an important area after a strong earlier move. The problem is that the daily chart still looks weak, and the sell readings show the TAO price may have more lows before buyers fully return.

A safer bullish case would need stronger confirmation. TAO would need to hold above the demand zone, reclaim short-term resistance, and push momentum readings back toward healthier levels.
