🧭 Context: Why TAO Matters

Bittensor (TAO) isn’t just another AI coin—it’s the backbone of decentralized intelligence. With subnet expansions, validator traction, and ETF inflows into AI, TAO is becoming the conviction play for asymmetric upside. But with unlock cliffs and whale games in motion, retail needs a strategy—not hopium.

📊 Current Structure

- Price: $382 (post-breakout retest)

- Breakout Level: $364

- Support: $308

- Resistance: $400 → $420

- Unlock Risk: Oct 12 → 49.44M TAO unlocked ($17B)

🎯 Strategy Breakdown

✅ Phase 1: Retest Zone ($364–$385)

- Add small tranches only if $364 holds

- Confirm bounce with volume and RSI recovery

- Stop-loss: $364 (structure invalidation)

✅ Phase 2: Breakout Zone ($400–$420)

- Full deployment only if $400 is reclaimed with volume

- Target: $520 → $543

- Watch whale wallets and subnet activity

⚠️ Phase 3: Unlock Dip ($330–$345)

- If $364 fails, wait for post-unlock dip

- Re-enter only if structure rebuilds above $364

- Avoid panic entries—this phase separates conviction from crowd

🧠 Retail Wisdom

TAO is not a promo trap—it’s a structure play. But asymmetric upside only works if you respect invalidation zones. Retail must learn to rotate, trim, and re-enter without emotional bias.

📌 Final Notes

- Whale wallets are accumulating

- Subnet expansion is real

- ETF flows into AI are rising

- But unlock cliffs are brutal—respect them
