The artificial intelligence sector is enjoying renewed interest after the U.S. temporarily eased tariffs on semiconductors and tech imports from China. This macro pivot has reignited bullish sentiment across AI-linked assets — and Worldcoin [WLD] is capitalizing in full force.

Riding the AI wave fueled by OpenAI’s visionaries, Worldcoin surged over 30% this week, with its market cap swelling by nearly $200 million to hover around $945 million. Its rally coincides with broader enthusiasm for AI tokens like Fetch.ai [FET], but questions linger: is this a structurally sound uptrend or merely a liquidity sweep?

On-Chain Signals and Macro Tailwinds

Worldcoin’s rally is backed by compelling technical and behavioral signals. Momentum indicators show Relative Strength Index (RSI) trending upward and MACD nearing a bullish crossover. Importantly, April 11 marked a surge in exchange outflows, with 2.78 million WLD tokens withdrawn — a sign of smart money positioning for upside.

Further confirming the bullish tilt, short liquidations wiped out over 206,000 positions on April 12. This caught bears off guard and reinforced support levels. On-chain data from Glassnode also reveals a rebound in Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL), signaling a shift from capitulation toward optimism.

Can WLD Breach the FOMO Line?

While the current price action has momentum, the $1 psychological barrier remains critical. Historically, breaking into the NUPL “Hope/FOMO” zone aligns with WLD surpassing this threshold. Until then, the token remains vulnerable to volatility and potential shakeouts.

Still, with macro factors — including Trump’s trade pause — aligning with smart money inflows and technical strength, WLD may be entering a foundational accumulation phase. If confirmed, this sets the stage for a broader FOMO rally.

For investors and traders, all eyes are now on the $1 mark. Breach it, and WLD may not just ride the AI hype — it might lead it.
