Fetch.AI Soars 14.5% As AI Tokens Surge, Can FET Reach $4?

The crypto market is 5.1% up today, with a total market capitalization of $2.3 trillion. The recent pump has propelled different sectors, with memecoins being 9% up and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tokens increasing 11.2% in the last 24 hours.

Fetch.AI (FET) is at the forefront of the AI sector with its remarkable 14.5% increase in the past day. Some analysts foresee a bullish breakout for the token soon.

Are AI Tokens Taking The Lead?

As reported by NewsBTC, many market experts consider Artificial intelligence tokens a contender for the cycle’s biggest narrative in round 2.

Alex Wacy said the artificial intelligence industry is “on the brink of a multi-trillion-dollar boom” due to the increasing interest over the last year. As a result, the analyst considers the sector could create a market valued in the trillions, reaching $2 trillion by 2030.

This week, AI tokens have performed strongly. Altcoin Sherpa pointed out that the sector is “looking decent overall,” with tokens like Arweave (AR), Ocean Protocol (OCEAN), and Fetch.ai performing the best.

Renowned traded Daan Crypto considers the AI sector to be “bouncing the strongest” on this new market move, while memecoins seem to be the “weakest.” The trader shared his thoughts on Fetch.AI’s recent performance.

Daan highlighted the token’s attempt to break above the diagonal trendline. Per the chart, FET is testing the diagonal resistance, with the $2.35 mark being the first resistance level to reclaim.

A breakout above this level could be a “good start to a further trend change.” Moreover, the token broke “above the 4H 200MA/EMA already.” Per the trader, FET would need to test the $2.5 mark and remain above the $2.35 price range to “break the trend and head higher over the next couple of weeks.”

Similarly, crypto trader Scient considers the token consolidating inside a one-day ascending bullish triangle. His chart highlights the $2.12 mark as support for the diagonal trendline.

He forecasted a deviation below the trendline “towards 1D 100EMA” before reclaiming the $2.12 price range and moving back inside the triangle. If a retest and confirmation of the trendline reclaim occurred, the trader suggested he “would long it.”

Analysts Forecast $4 For FET

Crypto analyst World of Charts identified a “textbook” bullish pennant pattern on FET’s chart. The analyst expects an upside breakout soon, potentially leading to a 2x bullish wave. If the breakout is successful, the token’s price could move above the $4 price range.

Moreover, CryptoBoss seems to concur with this forecast. The trader shared a similar chart, signaling a possible breakout that could drive the token to double its price. In the post, he stated, “$FET 4$ exe loading…”

In the past 24 hours, the token has surged an impressive 14.5%, going from $2.04 to hover between the $2.3-$2.32 price range. This increase represents 7.5% and 13.2% in the weekly and monthly timeframes.

Similarly, FET has seen a rise in market activity. Its daily trading volume increased by 102%, with $354.2 million traded on the last day.

AI Tokens ‘Preparing For Round 2’: Industry Shows 8% Growth With RNDR And FET

Excluding Bitcoin, memecoins were the biggest narrative of this cycle. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) tokens also performed remarkably during the first quarter of 2024.

The crypto market recovered over the weekend from the May 1st retrace, with AI tokens showing significant gains. As a result, many industry experts think that the sector is poised for a ‘Round 2’ this cycle.

AI Sector Recovers By 8%

Crypto analysts highlighted AI tokens alongside memecoins as the hottest topic of 2024, responsible for most of the massive gains during this cycle.

According to CoinGecko’s report, AI was one of the three sectors that delivered three-digit returns in Q1. Moreover, the largest AI token by market capitalization, Fetch.ai (FET), saw gains of 378.3% during this period.

As a result, some analysts deem the AI sector to be the next main narrative of the cycle. Trader John Walsh, known as CryptoGodJohn, considers “The future of AI coins preparing round 2.”

Walsh added that the AI season is “extremely obvious” and will go “so much higher” based on the developments in the sectors, including Nvidia earnings, Apple AI, and Microsoft’s $100 billion AI fund.

To this, crypto analyst MacroCRG replied that a massive AI growth “will be obvious in hindsight,” considering that the sector’s market capitalization is “just” $27.3 billion.

According to a MacroCRG post, the AI market cap had increased 8% by Monday morning, and its daily trading volume was around $1.9 billion. On Tuesday, the market cap surged to $27.8 billion, a 2.3% increase from 24 hours ago.

In comparison, memecoins $54.4 billion market cap doubles AI’s. However, its market cap decreased by 2.8% in the last day, with the top ten memecoins showing red numbers in the past 24 hours.

Is Artificial Intelligence About To Bloom Or Ruin the World?

Despite the remarkable performance, some figures think the sector has a more pessimistic future. According to memecoin trader Murad, the developments in the industry will “be replacing more & more jobs every year.” As a result, there will be an increase in “Anxieties and desperate attempts to ‘make it.’”

To the trader, the industry will serve as a push for the memecoins sector, as “Growing AI capabilities will be one of the big forces accelerating the Memecoin Bubble.”

Financial giant Warren Buffett shared a more skeptical view on Saturday. The Co-founder and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway revealed he is not sold yet by artificial intelligence. To the CEO:

We let a genie out of the bottle when we developed nuclear weapons. AI is somewhat similar — it’s part way out of the bottle.

Despite this, Buffet recognized the potential for AI technology to change the world positively.

On The Brink Of A Millionaire Boom

“The AI industry is on the brink of a multi-trillion-dollar boom,” stated Alex Wacy. The analyst believes the reasons behind this are the vast and diverse potential of applications.

Moreover, the expert highlights that interest in the sector has steadily increased over the last year. A crypto and AI combination could potentially “create a market valued in the trillions.”

According to the post, the market is projected to reach nearly $2 trillion by 2030, which suggests that the crypto industry should not overlook it.

Tokens like RNDR showed a remarkable performance over the past week, with the price soaring by 45%. RNDR regained the $10 support zone this week after struggling to retest it over the last month.

In the past 24 hours, the token’s price surged 6.4%, and its daily trading volume increased by 16.8%, with over $455 million being traded.

FET is “a top performing AI coin headed into the Nvidia earnings,” as stated by John Walsh. The trader forecast that the token is “looking for a next leg higher up” after successfully retesting the $2.35 resistance level.

FET broke above this level over the weekend, rising to $2.5 on Monday and remaining above the $2.40 support zone since.

At writing time, the token is trading at $2.42, representing a 2.4% increase in the last 24 hours and a $22.9% surge in the past week.

Memecoins Reign Supreme: CoinGecko Reveals Most Profitable Crypto Narrative Of Q1

In the first quarter of 2024 (Q1), memecoins emerged as the most profitable crypto narrative, delivering massive average returns of 1312.6% across its top tokens, according to a recent study and report conducted by CoinGecko.

This figure far surpassed the returns of other narratives, highlighting the growing popularity and frenzy surrounding memecoins in the cryptocurrency market.

RWA Vs Memecoins

Three newly launched tokens were among the top 10 memecoins by market cap at the end of the quarter: Brett (BRETT), BOOK OF MEME (BOME) and Cat in a dogs world (MEW). 

BRETT generated the highest returns since its launch with a gain of 7727.6%, closely followed by dogwifhat (WIF) with a gain of 2721.2% during the quarter. Notably, the memecoin narrative outperformed other crypto narratives by a significant margin.

memecoins

 

Compared to the second most profitable narrative, RWA, memecoins were 4.6 times more profitable, and their returns were 33.3 times higher than those of the Layer 2 narrative, which experienced the lowest gains in Q1.

The RWA narrative, which stands for “Real-World Assets“, returned 285.6% in Q1. Although it briefly held the title of the most profitable narrative in early February, memecoins and artificial intelligence-based (AI) tokens outperformed RWA in terms of returns. However, RWA managed to regain its position ahead of the AI narrative by the end of March. 

Notable winners in the RWA category included MANTRA (OM) and TokenFi (TOKEN), which posted quarter-to-date (QTD) returns of 1074.4% and 419.7% respectively. XDC Network (XDC) was the only RWA token to decline, falling 15.6% for the quarter.

Artificial intelligence closely followed RWA as the only other narrative to deliver three-digit returns, reaching 222.0% in Q1. All large-cap AI tokens experienced gains, with AIOZ Network (AIOZ) leading the pack at 480.2% and Fetch.ai (FET) following closely at 378.3%. 

Even the lowest gainer in the AI category, OriginTrail (TRAC), returned a respectable 74.9% during the quarter, indicating the overall interest in AI-related tokens.

Layer 1 Tokens Trail Behind

The decentralized finance (DeFi) narrative delivered moderate returns of 98.9% in the first quarter. In late February, DeFi returns were boosted by the Uniswap (UNI) fee switch proposal. DeFi tokens that performed well included Jupiter (JUP) with gains of 125.7%, Maker (MKR) with 121.2%, and The Graph (GRT) with 111.0% QTD.

In contrast, the Layer 1 (L1) narrative delivered relatively lower profitability with 70.0% returns in Q1 2024. While Solana (SOL) garnered attention as a popular memecoin chain, the top-performing large L1 cryptocurrencies were Toncoin (TON) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) with gains of 131.2% and 130.5%, respectively. 

Bitcoin (BTC) achieved a 65.1% gain, reaching new all-time highs, while Ethereum (ETH) posted a more modest 53.9% increase, despite the anticipation surrounding US spot Ethereum ETF applications.

Layer 2 (L2) emerged as the least profitable crypto narrative in Q1, with a relatively lower gain of 39.5%. Established Ethereum L2 solutions underperformed, with Arbitrum (ARB) returning 5.6%, Polygon (MATIC) seeing a 1.2% gain, and Optimism (OP) closing the quarter with a slight decline of 1.2%. However, Stacks (STX) and Mantle (MNT) recorded relatively strong returns of 142.5% and 95.8% QTD, respectively.

Memecoins

As of this writing, Dogecoin (DOGE), the largest memecoin by market capitalization, is trading at $0.1745. Over the past 24 hours, it has experienced a price correction of nearly 7%. In the last month, Dogecoin has shown limited bullish momentum, with a marginal gain of only 0.7% during this time period.

Altcoins Watchlist: Market Expert Spotlights ETH, BLUR, MATIC, And More For Explosive Gains

Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher has spotlighted several altcoins, with a special focus on artificial intelligence (AI) tokens, that demonstrate strong breakout potential in the current market rebound. 

ETH On The Rise

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Deutscher suggests that the upcoming Ethereum (ETH) Dencun upgrade, along with advancements in the AI industry, could drive significant price movements in related tokens. 

Deutscher emphasizes the upcoming ETH Dencun upgrade, noting that while much attention has been directed towards Bitcoin (BTC) and exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows, ETH has been steadily rising against BTC. 

Altcoins

Interestingly, the analyst expects an “aggressive” upward movement in ETH at some point, particularly with the first set of ETF decision dates approaching in May. 

Deutscher also highlights the strong performance of AI tokens, including AGIX, FET, WLD, and RNDR, attributing their recent success to significant advancements within the AI industry. According to the analyst, the upcoming earnings report from NVIDIA (NVDA) on Wednesday could further bolster the bullish sentiment surrounding AI coins. 

Highlighted Altcoins And Their Catalysts

  • BLUR: BLUR is nearing a significant announcement, and Deutscher notes the token’s recent strength, suggesting the $1 mark may soon be within reach. The founder’s association with BLAST, another project, adds to the intrigue.
  • BEAM: Deutscher points out that BEAM’s treasury holds large MAVIA bags, leading to increased balances. As the market begins to reevaluate the native token’s value, Deutscher is intrigued by the fact that BEAM has not gained widespread attention yet. He also mentions Pantera’s recent investment/partnership, further supporting his interest.
  • STRK: Token launch day is Tuesday for STRK, and Deutscher observes that new token launches often present opportunities for investors. He will closely monitor STRK’s performance, as success could lead to airdrop sellers buying back in at higher prices, while continuous selling pressure could result in price declines.
  • SEI: SEI is currently near all-time highs, and Deutscher notes positive sentiment surrounding the project, fueled by an “active team” and endorsements from key figures. If overall market sentiment remains positive, Deutscher sees potential for SEI to lead the way.
  • MAVIA: Deutscher highlights the buzz surrounding MAVIA, drawing parallels to Axie in its early days. The token’s successful launch and endorsements from influential figures have added to its long-term investment appeal. While acknowledging an initial strong run, Deutscher considers MAVIA a potential dip buying opportunity.

As identified by crypto analyst Miles Deutscher, various altcoins, especially AI tokens, are capturing attention due to their breakout potential. Factors such as the upcoming ETH Dencun upgrade and advancements in the AI industry are expected to influence price movements.

These Crypto Asset Classes Could Be Future Market Drivers: Santiment

According to analytics firm Santiment, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Real-World Assets (RWA) could be future drivers for the crypto market.

AI And RWA Crypto Tokens Have Seen High Interest Recently

As explained by Santiment in a new post on X, topics like AI and RWA have recently seen a surge in interest. The indicator of relevance here is the “Social Volume,” which keeps track of the amount of discussion related to any given topic or term occurring on social media platforms.

This metric makes this measurement by counting the number of unique posts/threads/messages that mention at least one topic in question. The indicator measures the number of posts rather than the number of mentions themselves because the latter can provide a skewed picture.

Consider a situation where many mentions are occurring on these platforms but are limited to only a few posts. Discussion around the topic is happening for sure. Still, the fact that only some users are engaging in it could imply that the average user may not have any interest in the topic.

A large number of posts being made around the topic, on the other hand, would imply discussion is happening across social media, and hence, there has to be some interest outside niche circles.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the social volume of AI and RWA over the last few months:

AI And RWA Crypto

As displayed in the above graph, the Social Volume for these two topics has been at notable levels recently, implying that the crowd has been paying attention to them. Based on this increased interest, Santiment believes these topics are “projecting to be future crypto market drivers.”

“In the ever-changing climate of trader interests over the years, such as DeFi, NFT‘s, memecoins, or staking, these more recent topics have been a major focus, and many related tokens have taken turns benefiting from market decouplings,” notes the analytics firm.

Santiment has also listed some cryptos that connect with these topics. For the AI side, there is The Graph (GRT), Fetch.ai (FET), SingularityNET (AGIX), Ocean Protocol (OCEAN), and Bittensor (TAO).

Meanwhile, for RWA, the analytics firm has pointed out cryptos like Avalanche (AVAX), Chainlink (LINK), Internet Computer (ICP), and Maker (MKR). Given the high interest backing both these topics, it’s possible these assets could be ones to keep an eye on in the future.

Avalanche Price

Avalanche has observed a strong surge during the past week as the asset’s price has shot up almost 30%. Following this surge, the crypto has cleared the $35 level.

AI Tokens Record Lowest Weekly Volume Since January – A Sign Of Waning Interest?

AI (artificial intelligence) tokens were one of the most promising assets in the cryptocurrency market at the beginning of 2023. One of the major drivers of this was the launch of ChatGPT – an AI-based chatbot – in late 2022, which propelled some AI-related cryptocurrencies to substantial gains.

However, the interest in this set of cryptocurrencies appears to be cooling, with data research firm Kaiko revealing a significant decline in trading activity for the AI-related tokens.

Lowest Weekly Trading Volume For AI Tokens

AI-related tokens registered their lowest weekly trading volume since January 2023, according to a recent data report from Kaiko. In this report, the research platform looked at the trading volume of six of the top seven AI tokens, including FET, INJ, ROSE, AGIX, RNDR, and GRT.

AI Tokens

This notable decrease in trading activity suggests a decline in attention from investors since the AI token frenzy peaked in January. And this appears to be reflected in the price performances of many AI-related cryptocurrencies.

The Graph (GRT), the largest AI token in the market, was one of the top gainers at the start of 2023, surging by roughly 122% to reach a yearly high of $0.2323 on February 7. However, the price of the GRT token has since plummeted, with a 51% decline from the 2023 peak.

Can ChatGPT & OpenAI Do It Again?

As mentioned earlier, the surge of interest in AI tokens was partly driven by the launch of ChatGPT. However, there has not been a similar effect on the AI and big-data crypto economy following the launch of Sam Altman’s Worldcoin project and WLD token.

On July 24, 2023, Altman, the CEO of OpenAI – the artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT – rolled out his crypto product, releasing the World ID development kit and the WLD token. 

The WLD token soared more than 85% to reach an all-time high of $3.3 on the day of launch, according to CoinGecko data. However, the cryptocurrency’s price has declined by over 31% since hitting this peak.

Although there has been enthusiasm around the launch of Worldcoin, the project – especially its technology – has also been met with some skepticism. Notably, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin voiced his concern over the project’s iris-scanning hardware and biometric data collection practices.

Meanwhile, Worldcoin looks set to face some regulatory scrutiny, with the UK’s data regulator Information Commissioner Office (ICO) already making inquiries. France’s privacy regulator CNIL has also questioned the legality of the project’s biometric data collection.

While the Worldcoin project and the WLD token seem to be gaining some traction at the moment, it remains to be seen how they will impact the AI and big-data crypto economy. As of this writing, the WLD token changes hand at $2.27, with a 6.8% price increase in the past day.
