AI16Z gains 38% in a day: Mapping if this surge can continue

• AI agents are gaining traction, with AI16Z staying bullish from the symmetrical triangle formation in LTFs.
• The daily trading volume reached $266.86 million, while OI reached $77 million.

The AI agent ai16z [AI16Z] token created its symmetrical triangle breakout on the lower time frame, suggesting potential upward trend. The price surged about 38% in the last 24 hours, as per CoinMarketCap.

The descending resistance trendline of the triangle showed strength by intersecting $0.1479, while price broke through this level, accompanied by increasing trading volume.

AI16Z could surge by 62% from its breakout zone if it reached the $0.2350 price level.

At press time, the token formed a steady correction pattern, ranging from $0.145 to $0.155. The price cleared the resistance area to strengthen its bullish movement.

AI16Z could extend its rise through increased volume if it succeeded in maintaining above $0.15.

Breakout validity depended on maintaining price above this threshold because a descending price would weaken the breakout criteria.

The bearish outlook would return if the price fell below $0.1350 as it would guide the market toward the $0.12 support at the triangle’s base.

The recognition of consistent volume support combined with price stability above $0.1479 breakthrough would become necessary for continuation of the trend.

AI16Z volume and Open Interest 

Key takeaways from the recent AI16Z indicated that trading operations became more active and volatile. The market activity for AI16Z amounted to $266.86M in trading volume as AI16Z price rose to $0.18.

Short and long liquidations showed bullish patterns during this period through Bybit which mainly affected bearish traders with $82.37K worth of shorts. 

Yet, there were $54.02K worth of longs combined with $198.06K worth of short liquidations.

The Open Interest reached $77M, showing that more traders were entering the market through leveraged positions.

The high number of short liquidations suggested that traders were possibly looking to force a short squeeze or fall into a short-term trading trap in the market despite the increasing OI and increased trading volume.

AI16Z may drop as persistent sell-side pressure persisted. AI16Z could move towards improved levels of resistance, if at all, volume continues to be high above $200M and OI stayed with the positive figures.

However, the market could get exhausted if volume dropped and longs kept on liquidating, as such action might drive prices towards $0.15 support levels.

Price zones within the range had to be monitored.

Sector performance

Meanwhile, the AI sector increased by more than 20% while Gaming and L2 gained about 9% but other sections such as DeFi and MEME showed much lower growth.

The superior sector performance indicated investors sought AI-related tokens for their capital allocations. This creates room for AI16Z to move to the upside if the performance is maintained.

Bitcoin’s ongoing rally could pull greater speculative investors toward the AI16Z token, which belonged to the AI agents niche.

While AI16Z showed potential for story alignment, its price could face sudden drops in case the sector experiences a downturn.
