TAO's Bullish Resume: $341 Today, $400 Tomorrow? Bulls Certainly Hope So

While Bitcoin continues its choppy dance between $65,000 and $72,000 like a drunk at a wedding that doesn't want to leave the dance floor, $TAO—the native coin of the Bittensor project—has been quietly putting in work. The token is currently sitting at $341 after surging nearly 10% this week, including a 9% pop in the last 24 hours. That's the kind of performance that makes you wonder if someone found the off-switch on the sell button.

The derivatives market is painting a bullish picture that would make Bob the Builder say "yes we can." According to CoinGlass data, $TAO's futures Open Interest hit a record high of $554.98 million on March 26. While it's pulled back slightly, OI remains on an upward trajectory at $413.65 million.

The near-term bias remains extremely bullish, with $TAO comfortably above its 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs clustered around $258–$275. That support zone has held firm despite the recent pullback from the $377 area. These EMAs are basically $TAO's friend group—close together, supportive, and always there when needed.

Momentum indicators suggest another leg up could be brewing, and by brewing we mean the kind of momentum that makes you check your position size twice. The 4-hour RSI at 70 remains in positive territory without flashing overbought warnings. The MACD line is climbing toward the signal line above zero, indicating bearish pressure is fading after the correction. The chart looks about as threatening as a
