The second attempt reached $355 on April 7, produced a lower high, and reversed. Both rejection points are visible as circled pivots on the daily chart, and TAO has since retraced to $325.1 without recovering above either level.<\/p>\n<p>The daily MACD has confirmed the setup. The MACD line has crossed below the signal, reading 19.6 against a signal of 22.0, with the histogram at -2.4. Both lines remain above zero, which limits the severity of the crossover, but the signal confirms that momentum built during March\u2019s AI-sector <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/bittensors-tao-cools-after-parabolic-ai-sector-rally-technical-risk-builds\/\">rally<\/a> is fading.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"639\" src=\"https:\/\/media.crypto.news\/2026\/04\/TAOUSDT_2026-04-08_22-47-46.webp\" alt=\"Will Bittensor price drop to $297 as double rejection at descending trendline triggers bearish MACD crossover? - 1\" class=\"wp-image-14456431\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>On the 4H chart, the MACD remains technically bullish, with the MACD line at 6.8 above the signal at 5.8 and a histogram of 1.0. The 4H Supertrend at $313.8 continues to act as dynamic support. However, the 4H histogram has compressed sharply from earlier sessions, and a bearish crossover on that timeframe would add meaningful confluence with the daily signal.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Crypto analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe stated on X that TAO is \u201capproaching one of those regions for dip buying in the coming weeks,\u201d framing the current pullback as \u201cjust normal price behavior\u201d following a triple-digit monthly rally. That view supports a base case in which $297.5 holds as a staging ground, not a breakdown level.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Levels and Price Targets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Immediate support: the 4H Supertrend at $313.8, followed by the structural demand zone at $297.5, visible on both the 4H and daily charts and flagged as a key floor during the March accumulation phase.<\/p>\n<p>Extended downside target: $263.7, the daily Supertrend. Previous analysis flagged a potential corrective move toward $200 if the pattern repeats from prior golden-cross fractals, though that scenario requires a sustained close below $263.7 to come into scope.<\/p>\n<p>Bull case: a confirmed daily close above $371 invalidates the double rejection and opens the path toward $400. Bear case: a break below $297.5 targets $263.7. Invalidation: $371.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Derivatives and Institutional Context<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Coinglass<\/a> data shows TAO open interest has declined alongside price in recent sessions, consistent with long-side deleveraging rather than aggressive fresh short positioning. That configuration reduces the probability of a sharp squeeze near current levels and suggests the next directional move is more likely to be supply-driven than forced.<\/p>\n<p>Grayscale has also filed with the SEC to convert its Bittensor Trust into a spot ETF and increased TAO\u2019s weighting to 43.06% in its AI fund, making it the fund\u2019s dominant holding. Neither development provides a near-term price floor, but both reduce the probability of a sustained breakdown below key support if broader risk appetite stabilises.<\/p>\n<p>If $297.5 holds on a daily close basis, the base case is a re-test of the $355 trendline. A confirmed break below $297.5 shifts the primary target to $263.7.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/bittensor-price-risks-297-after-double-rejection\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bittensor price is trading at $325.1, down 3.04% on the day, after rejecting a multi-month descending trendline for the second time in two weeks \u2014 and the daily MACD has now confirmed a bearish crossover that shifts the near-term bias toward the downside.
