Five AI Coins To Watch Ahead of NVIDIA Earnings Call

AI-linked crypto tokens are heading into NVIDIA’s (NVDA) May 20 earnings call with clean technical setups on both sides of the trade. A strong report from the chipmaker could revive speculative demand across AI coins, while a disappointment risks exposing weak charts already sitting below major moving averages.

NVIDIA will discuss fiscal Q1 2026 results at 2 pm PT, with consensus focused on roughly $78.5 billion in revenue and continued strength in its data-center business.

TAO Price Prediction: Bittensor Risks Deeper Pullback Toward $190–$235

Bittensor’s TAO trades near $258, down about 9.5% on the latest 3-day candle, after failing to reclaim its short-term descending channel resistance.

The token remains trapped below its 100-3D EMA near $287.50 and 200-3D EMA near $326.80, while hovering around the 50-3D EMA near $267.70. That keeps the broader structure bearish unless bulls reclaim the $287–$327 resistance cluster.

The immediate downside zone sits between $232 and $259, aligning with the 0.618–0.50 Fibonacci retracement area. A clean breakdown below $232 would open the door to the $190–$235 range, matching the lower Fib levels and the channel’s downside trajectory.

Bittensor’s relative strength index (RSI) near 47.7 shows neither oversold capitulation nor strong bullish momentum, leaving TAO vulnerable if NVIDIA’s earnings fail to lift AI-sector sentiment.

NEAR Price Prediction: Rising Wedge Breakdown Points to $0.937

NEAR trades around $1.48, sitting almost exactly on its 50-3D EMA near $1.48 after a strong recovery from its 2026 lows.

But the rebound has formed a rising wedge, a bearish reversal pattern that often appears when price rises inside narrowing trendlines while momentum weakens. A breakdown below the wedge’s lower trendline would confirm the setup.

The measured downside target sits near $0.937, implying roughly 37% downside from current levels. That level also aligns with the dotted support marked on the chart.

Upside invalidation requires NEAR to break above the wedge resistance near $1.75–$1.85, which also overlaps with the 100-3D EMA near $1.85. Until then, rallies risk looking like lower-timeframe relief moves inside a larger bearish structure.

RNDR Price Forecast: 50-3D EMA Remains Strong Resistance For Render Token

Render’s RNDR trades near $1.77, down about 3.9%, while retesting the upper area of a symmetrical triangle.

The key rejection zone is the 50-3D EMA near $1.88. RNDR previously saw a sharp pump-and-dump move after testing this same moving average, making the current retest important for traders watching another failed breakout.

The downside target sits near $1.62, matching the triangle’s lower boundary and the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement. A move below that area could weaken the structure further and expose the $1.40 Fib zone.

To flip bullish, RNDR needs a decisive close above the triangle resistance and the 50-3D EMA. Without that, the chart continues to favor a pullback toward $1.62, especially if AI tokens sell the NVIDIA event.

ICP Price Analysis: Injective Risks Hitting Record Lows

Internet Computer’s ICP trades near $2.53, after another rejection near its long-term descending resistance area.

The broader setup resembles a multi-month broadening descending wedge, but the latest upside attempt has again stalled near the 100-3D EMA around $3.64. A previous rejection from that zone triggered a sharp decline, and the current candle shows similar weakness.

ICP also remains below its 50-3D EMA near $2.89 and far below the 200-3D EMA near $5.27, confirming that the larger trend still favors sellers.

The downside target sits near $1.65, aligning with the wedge’s lower trendline and the 1.618 Fibonacci extension. That would mark a fresh record-low area for ICP if confirmed.

A bullish reversal needs a sustained reclaim of $3.64, followed by a move toward the broader resistance band near $5.00–$5.30.

VVV Price Prediction: Bull Flag Breakout Targets $24.75

Venice Token’s VVV is the cleanest bullish setup among the group.

VVV trades near $14.60, up about 4%, while consolidating inside a tight bull flag after a strong vertical rally. The structure suggests buyers are defending higher levels instead of allowing a full trend reversal.

The measured breakout target sits near $24.75, implying almost 70% upside from current prices. That target comes from projecting the prior flagpole higher from the consolidation breakout zone.

VVV also remains above its short-term moving averages, including the 20-day EMA near $12.97 and 50-day EMA near $10.54, keeping the near-term trend constructive.

RSI near 60.7 remains below overbought territory, suggesting momentum has room to extend if the flag breaks upward.

The bullish setup weakens if VVV loses the flag support near $12–$13. Until then, VVV remains the AI-token chart with the clearest upside skew into NVIDIA earnings.
