From the intraday low of 0.325 in the early session, to the evening peak surging up to 0.398, COAI’s 18% rally today slapped the faces of too many early bears.

On the 15-minute timeframe, the movement has been extremely steady: the moving averages are in a bullish alignment, MA7 has been lifting and supporting the price upward all the way; the Bollinger Bands have been widening continuously; volume and MACD have kept in sync. This isn’t a one-shot, disappearing impulse move—it’s a trend built by real capital piling in.

In fact, many people are optimistic about the AI narrative, and they also know that COAI is an undervalued low-position pick among on-chain AI assets. But not many can actually hold it all the way from the bottom to where it is now.

When it was at 0.35, someone said the top is in and they should run. At 0.37, someone shouted that it’s a bubble and will collapse right away. Now it’s closing in on 0.4, and some people are still waiting for a deep dip to buy the bottom.

The most painful regret in crypto isn’t missing a dark-horse coin. It’s that you clearly chose the right track and correctly identified the target, yet you got off the train halfway up because you were afraid of heights and wanted to grab that small bit of swing-trading price difference—only to watch the price rise higher and higher.

The circulating market cap has only just surpassed 100 million; the valuation is fully diluted to 389 million. Even within the entire AI sector, it’s still a small player. As long as the narrative is still there and the capital is still there, the trend won’t easily come to an abrupt stop.

Of course, no one can perfectly buy at the absolute bottom and sell at the very top, nor can anyone predict exactly where this wave ends. I just want to remind you of this:

In a clearly defined uptrend, hold a little less self-cleverness in trying to sell the highs and buy the lows, and have a bit more patience in holding your position—often you make more than if you were to flip back and forth a hundred times.
