Worldcoin (WLD) Explodes 60% Weekly Despite the Crypto Massacre: Further Gains on the Way?

What’s Coming Next?

A few hours ago, the token’s price briefly exceeded $0.55, climbing to its highest point since January. Later on, it retraced to the current $0.48 (according to CoinGecko), representing a 60% increase on a weekly basis. Its market capitalization surpassed $1.6 billion, making WLD the 51st-largest cryptocurrency.

Perhaps the main catalyst driving the rally is the recent whale activity. The X account BSCN revealed that WLD transactions above $100,000 have reached their highest level this year, adding that growing accumulation, rising network activity, and an upcoming reduction in token emissions have also played a positive role.

X user Crypto Tony labeled WLD as one of “the strongest” altcoins, expecting a pump to $0.63 if the price holds the key level at $0.45. Other popular analysts who chipped in include Altcoin Sherpa and Crypto Catalysts.

The former envisioned a pump to $0.65 if “BTC stays stable,” while the latter noted the asset’s impressive performance amid the recent crypto massacre and predicted a potential ascent to $2.

For his part, Arthur Hayes – co-founder of BitMEX and CIO of Maelstrom – set a future price target of $10. He later described the token as a “shitcoin” that is “going to moon” only because of its connection to the emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

Going South?

It is important to note that WLD’s solid price increase can also be followed by a pullback, given how quickly the upward move occurred. Its Relative Strength Index (RSI) is the exact technical analysis tool that highlights this risk.

Recently, it soared past 70, meaning that the asset has entered overbought territory and could be on the verge of a correction. The index runs from 0 to 100, and conversely, anything under 30 is considered a bullish sign.

Meanwhile, some analysts have not been so kind to Worldcoin. X user Ryker described it as a “dead project” that only follows NEAR because of the AI trend. They don’t expect much from WLD, claiming that the team behind it “doesn’t do anything.”

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.

Anthropic releases another article: What will the economy look like in the AI era?

Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test

Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
