1. Core Data (2026-05-02)

- Increase: 24-hour +180%~200% ($0.67→$2.16)
- Circulating supply: 76.55 million LAB (only 7.65% of total supply, extremely scarce)

- Top 100 addresses hold **62%** of the chips, whales/team can easily control the market.
- Large transfers by the team at the end of April to gather chips in preparation for accumulation.
2. Strong AI computing narrative - LAB positions itself as a decentralized AI computing network, integrating idle GPUs for large model training.
- AI computing demand will explode in 2026, capital flocking to AI + Web3 small-cap tokens.
3. Market sentiment recovery + capital rotation - BTC back to **$78k**, market risk appetite improves.
- Short-term capital rotates from small coins, memes to AI + low circulating tokens.
4. No substantial negative news + community FOMO - no negative news, community is unanimously bullish, creating a panic-buying effect.

3. Risk Warning

- Short-term overbought: 1-hour RSI exceeds 85, serious divergence, possible cliff-like correction at any time.
