ai16z [AI16Z] is one of the market's largest Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent tokens today. Lately however, in the sector, it has also been one of the worst hit by Bitcoin's recent losses that forced the rest of the crypto market to drop.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent tokens have seen a recent surge in popularity, with ai16z [AI16Z] emerging as one of the market’s largest. However, recent losses incurred by Bitcoin have had a ripple effect on the entire crypto market, including AI tokens.

The sentiment surrounding ai16z seems to be predominantly bearish over the short term, as evidenced by several technical indicators at press time. A potential drop below the $1 support level is also within the realm of possibility.

A 2-hour chart for the AI token reveals a strong bearish bias in the short term. The market structure on the chosen timeframe is bearish. Furthermore, the price action has created a new lower low beneath the $1.26 level, cementing the sellers’ dominance.

Before the new low was achieved, a bounce to $1.72 was observed earlier this month. Using this bounce, a set of Fibonacci levels and extensions were plotted. These levels show that to the south, the next targets are at $1.16 and $0.98, respectively.

The CMF has been seen below -0.05 for the majority of the past three days, indicating high selling pressure and a significant capital flow out of the market. The Awesome Oscillator is also below zero, signaling intense selling pressure.

The liquidation heatmap of AI16Z over the past week highlights the $1.4 and $1.18 levels as the closest magnetic zones. The $1.18-level is closer to the press time market price and the more likely, short-term target.

This aligns well with the bearish signals from the technical analysis of the 2-hour timeframe. In the event of a BTC price bounce, ai16z could face a bearish reversal in the $1.4-$1.5 region. A move past this level would not necessarily be a strong bullish signal. The lower high at $1.72 needs to be cleared to flip the structure bullishly.
