#Circle teams up with Proof on AI payments

My first reaction was that it sounded a bit too much like a PR announcement. $CRCL completed an x401/x402 handshake—that sounds like two protocols nodding at each other. In the market, the price rose 3.23% over 24 hours, with 285.5 million USDT in trading volume and a 7.78% range between the high and low. The range was wider than the gain, suggesting a lot of back-and-forth trading rather than a decisive push upward.

My take: this looks more like the narrative is moving faster than the actual rollout. Real demand doesn’t need a launch event to sell it. My invalidation level is 85.55; if the price breaks below that day’s low, I’ll know I read too much into the news.

Can it hold above 89.41 over the next few days?
