Lately, the market shows an interesting trend. AI coins are quietly moving.

This week, the atmosphere is dominated by DeFi and meme coins, but AI-related coins are steadily climbing from behind. Over the past month, funds have circulated from privacy coins to DeFi and meme coins, and now there’s a strong possibility that they are flowing into the AI sector. In fact, the market capitalization of AI coins has increased from $32.4 billion to around $38 billion, with about $6 billion in capital inflow.

What’s particularly noteworthy is that major AI companies like OpenAI, Google, and DeepSeek are scheduled to release updates. These external catalysts could positively influence the prices of AI coins.

From a technical perspective, several interesting signals are emerging. First, looking at the NEAR Protocol, a reverse head and shoulders pattern is forming. It has been showing a continuous upward trend over the past few days, approaching a key resistance level, and the possibility of a MACD golden cross is increasing. If this resistance is broken, there could be an additional 20% upside potential. Of course, if it fails, a correction might occur, but the current trend looks positive.

FET is also intriguing. Known as the AI Superintelligence Alliance, this coin surged 62% in April and has continued its upward trend into May. It is trading above the 200-day moving average, and the MACD is showing signs of a bullish crossover, indicating a high likelihood of continued growth. However, there is significant selling pressure in the $1.04–$1.22 range, which must be overcome. If it rises to the Fibonacci 50% retracement level at $1.25, surpassing $1 could open up about 25% additional upside.

ICP is worth watching as well. Although it has experienced five consecutive months of monthly declines, recent daily charts show signs of a trend reversal. The MACD is increasingly likely to form a golden cross, and the RSI maintains an upward momentum. The key resistance is at $6; breaking through that would confirm an upward pattern.

Ultimately, AI coins seem poised to be the sector to watch next week. Given the flow of funds in the market, this timing is crucial, and technical signals are pointing in a positive direction. It would be great to check out the charts of these AI-related coins directly on Gate.
