Is RENDER About to Crash?

by

Okay, so Render [RENDER]. Apparently, it had a ‘good start’ to 2026. Which, let’s be honest, is a low bar. Like, surviving January is a good start for some people. Anyway, it went up 85% in the first week, which is…impressive, I suppose, if you’re the sort of person who gets excited about percentages. Far outperforming Chainlink [LINK] and Bittensor [TAO] – though frankly, judging by the names, neither of those sounds terribly reliable anyway.

But then, because things can’t ever just be good, Open Interest decided to take a 30% holiday. Honestly, business analysts just love coming up with phrases like ‘tailed off’. It sounds so much more sophisticated than ‘plummeted’, doesn’t it? Still, breaching $2 was ‘encouraging’ they say. Which is what you say when you’re desperately trying to appear optimistic about something that’s clearly not working.

And then, and this is where it gets really depressing, some report (AMBCrypto, bless them for doing the research so I don’t have to) compared Render to this other AI token – Artificial Superintelligence Alliance [FET]. Apparently, Render didn’t measure up. I mean, really. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance? It sounds like something out of a dystopian novel. You just know it’s going to end badly.

And to top it all off (because why would things be simple?), the longer-term trend is still resolutely downwards. One clings to hope, but…

Can RENDER bulls actually fix this mess?

There were glimmers of something resembling positivity. The OBV did something called ‘making a new high’ when it hit $2.71, which apparently means buyers were ‘dominant’. And the RSI was, for a brief period, above 50. Which is…good? I think? It’s all very technical, and frankly, makes my head hurt. It basically means the upward momentum hasn’t completely vanished. Yet.

But the rally didn’t break through $2.94 from November. And that, apparently, is significant. It means the long-term downtrend is still, stubbornly, unbroken. Honestly, it’s like trying to date someone who’s just not that into you. You keep hoping, but…it’s just not going to happen.

Why one should probably avoid buying RENDER right now

Apparently, there’s a ‘liquidation map’. Which sounds terrifying. It suggests prices might be dragged down towards $1.86-$1.88. Because what could be worse? It feels like the prices are actively being attracted to bad numbers. They say it’s a ‘key short-term liquidity target.’ Honestly, it’s all a bit much.

This area is apparently a ‘former supply zone’. You know, where tokens used to be supplied. Past tense. So, basically, a graveyard for digital assets.

So, the advice is to wait for it to go down further – towards $1.80 – before considering buying. Because naturally, that’s how things work. First you watch it plummet, then you buy. It’s just common sense.

Final Thoughts

  • Render had a moment, 85% up. But it couldn’t actually manage to change things for the better. Classic.
  • Expect a dip, likely below $2. Then a rebound. Because that’s just how these things go. Up, down, up, down. The Circle of Crypto Life.
