Note: This figure runs above the $203.9M shown on the market tracker, and CoinGabbar could not independently verify the exact source or timeframe used for the $295M number.
It is best treated as an unverified estimate rather than a confirmed data point.
Trader Crypto Tony posted that the bottom looks likely in for TAO and pointed to $272 as a first target if the recent break above the downtrend line holds.
This is one trader's technical view rather than confirmed data, and CoinGabbar has not independently verified the wave count behind it, so it should be treated as a viewpoint rather than a guaranteed outcome.

TAO is trading at $235.16, after breaking above the descending trendline that had capped every rally since April.
The breakout pushed the price briefly above $224.25 support into the current zone, and TAO is now consolidating just above that level after touching a high of $235.61.
RSI (14) sits at 64.69, a firm reading that shows momentum favors buyers without being overbought yet.
The key is for the price to break above the upper resistance level to confirm the start of a bullish rally.

Bull case: Holding above the trendline breakout zone at $224.25 and clearing $260.12 would confirm the reversal is genuine, opening a path toward $280.52 and eventually $304.47.
Base case: TAO keeps chopping between $224.25 and $260.12 for now, analyzing the trendline break before committing to a clear direction either way.
Bear case: A close back below $224.25 would put the trendline breakout in doubt and expose $210.48 as the next downside level.

According to CoinGabbar analysts, the trendline breakout after months of lower highs is a meaningful technical shift, and the firm RSI reading backs up the idea that buyers have taken control for now.
The $224.25 to $260.12 zone is the key battleground: holding it keeps the reversal thesis alive, while losing it would suggest the breakout was a false move.
