$TAO was one of the clearer plays in the recent period. I had previously shared in the community about the buy zone around 170, and when the price rebounded to about 195, I took half of my position off. Afterwards, the market continued pushing the price up to the initial target zone of 200.

A notable point is that $TAO almost every time the market has a rebound, it reacts quite well. In the previous instance when I got stuck holding the bottom, I still decided to hold rather than cut losses. In the end, when the market rebounded, it not only recovered but also yielded about 10% profit.
This shows that choosing the right project is much more important than trying to “perfectly catch the bottom.” For projects with strong fundamentals, being temporarily stuck is not a big issue.
Regarding TAO, the core point lies in the Bittensor ecosystem. Currently, this network has developed 100 subnet (subnet networks). To participate or buy tokens of these subnets, users are required to hold TAO, which creates real demand for the token.
In terms of activity within the ecosystem, the subnets with the highest 24-hour trading volume today include:
- Root
- Chutes
- Targon
The fact that the ecosystem has many active subnets has really helped TAO establish a much stronger foundation compared to most AI tokens that are purely “narrative” in the market.
That’s also why I previously shared the TAO bottom zone. Personally, I am quite cautious about buying tokens randomly — if I participate, there usually needs to be a story, an ecosystem, and real capital behind it.
In the crypto market, a low price doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth buying. But if it’s a project with value, sometimes all it takes is patience to hold the position.
