In early July, the TAO token hovered near $213, supported by Bittensor doubling its AI subnet capacity to 256 slots and generating $43 million in Q1 revenue. Sentiment was further bolstered by the HaloGuard 1.0 AI-safety milestone and a Grayscale filing for a TAO trust product under SEC review. By late July, the token faced resistance at $214, with trading volume surging 50% as the price slipped toward $197. On 29 July, TAO breached key horizontal support, dropping to approximately $187. By 31 July, the token recovered to trade near $196 within a multi-year demand zone of $166–$216. During this period, the OpenTensor Foundation confirmed the annual Exploit Summit would be held on 28–29 September in Montreal. In late August, TAO experienced a significant reversal, surging over 10% in 24 hours and exceeding 21% in weekly gains. This rally was driven by renewed interest in the AI sector following Nvidia’s record Q2 revenue. By 28 August, TAO showed signs of a potential rally following a breakout from a bullish flag pattern, with long positions reaching 69% in the derivatives market.

As of 12 September, market focus shifted to the $230 support level; defending this area is seen as vital for a potential retest of the $275 high and a move toward $300. Long-term bullish factors include the network’s expansion to 129 active AI subnets and the impact of its first halving, which reduced daily emissions from 7,200 to 3,600 TAO. ~~Analysts suggest maintaining support between $234 and $258 is essential for the uptrend.~~
