Worldcoin Collapses 20% – Is the AI Token Hype Finally Over?

Worldcoin has done little to fend against broader economic pressures over the past week, with a 20% decline—traders seem unwilling to rally behind the once front-running altcoin.

Trump’s “tariff war,” NATO tensions, and rising global bond yields have made buzzwords like “stagflation” and “recession” all too common—FUD is running rampant.

But Worldcoin’s troubles go deeper. The token has been in steady decline since mid-December, plunging 80% and surpassing pre-election lows, causing speculators to question its staying power.

Is the AI Token Hype Over?

While speculators may be quick to dismiss AI, these are the ripple effects of Trump’s “tariff war.”

The administration’s push to repatriate manufacturing and secure technological sovereignty means that businesses must rethink everything from chip fabrication to cloud infrastructure.

As a result, AI crypto projects have struggled to gain traction, making them an unconvincing hedge against the broader market downturn.

AI remains one of the most promising crypto narratives this cycle.

WLD Price Analysis: Is Worldcoin Still the Play This Cycle?

Worldcoin offers a glimmer of hope as it continues to hold the lower support of a descending wedge that has guided its decline.

While the price has bounced, the most recent retest remains inconclusive, with technical indicators signaling hesitation.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has breached the oversold threshold of 30, often a precursor to upside attempts as selling pressure is exhausted.

However, the MACD line and signal line remain in close parallel, neither taking the lead—a sign the bulls seem reluctant to rally behind Worldcoin.

without buying pressure to fill this gap the decline stands to continue, likely to be rejected by the immediate resistance of the 20SMA.

If bullish momentum builds, Worldcoin could climb to retest the pattern’s upper resistance, and a breakout could target $2.47—a potential 200% gain from current levels.

This move would face the same hurdle, as well as stiff resistance from the 50SMA, a key barrier in any recovery attempt.

The AI Coin Unlocks the Best Plays This Bull Cycle

As shown by Worldcoin’s fall from prominence, Investors who back the wrong horse are missing out on those limited bull market gains.
