Key Takeaways
The crypto market suffered a major crash last week, with liquidations topping $19 billion — the largest on record.
Amid the sea of red candlesticks, Bittensor (TAO) stood out by bucking the trend, bouncing back and forming a bullish engulfing pattern.
The strength shown during a correction is impressive, aided by the breakout from the main diagonal resistance level.
If the broader market recovers, TAO could be among the first altcoins to push toward new highs.
Bittensor’s price has fallen significantly since its high of $744 in December 2024.
The downward movement led to a low of $167 in April, after which the price reversed its trend.
While TAO increased significantly during this time, it failed to break out from the $450 resistance area and a diagonal resistance trend line.
This all changed last week.
Bittensor’s price formed a bullish engulfing candlestick (green icon), preventing a breakdown from the $300 horizontal area, despite the wick low reaching $245.
Today, Bittensor broke out from the 308-day resistance area and is currently moving toward the $450 horizontal resistance.
A breakout above this level will be the final confirmation that TAO has begun a bullish trend reversal and will move to new highs.
If that happens, the closest resistance level will be $700.

Momentum indicators support this bullish TAO prediction.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossed 50 while the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) made a bullish cross (black circle).
So, signs point to a bullish TAO prediction, in which the upward movement could accelerate once the price crosses $450.
The daily time frame wave count aligns with the bullish prediction from the weekly time frame.
According to the count, Bittensor is in wave C of an A-BC correction.
The corrective channel of wave B and its overlap confirm that this is the correct count.

The first target for wave C’s top is $568, while the second is $765.
If the targets get hit, wave C will have the same length as wave A or be 1.61 times as long.
Once the TAO price confirms the breakout from the parallel channel, it will validate the rally’s impulsive nature and move toward the projected targets.
The weekly and daily technical analysis suggest that the TAO trend is bullish.
If the wave count and price action play out as expected, TAO will surge to at least $570 and possibly hit $765.
The upward movement could accelerate once Bittensor clears $450.
