Price breakouts in the crypto market have become rather short-lived recently, with the most recent case being Bitcoin’s (BTC) brief rally to $65,000 on Aug. 24.

However, some altcoins have managed to sustain their momentum despite the broader market weakness. Fetch.ai’s (FET) token has been a standout performer in the last seven days, surging by 80%.

Here's a quick analysis of some of the factors driving FET’s performance.

Altcoins benefit from the AI narrative

Artificial intelligence (AI)-related tokens have been top performers in 2024 thanks to the hype surrounding various AI tools and the historic performance of Nvidia’s stock.

Positive performance in Nvidia stock has been followed by strong rallies in AI tokens, including FET. The token also rallied when Nvidia issued positive earnings reports, and the chip maker is scheduled to report its quarterly results this week on Aug. 28.

FET’s value has risen by more than 500% over the past 12 months and 90% year-to-date. Agents (or programmable autonomous digital avatars) are one of the primary use cases of Fetch.ai.

Through the AgentVerse platform, the autonomous agents can be tasked with searching, connecting and transacting in marketplaces on behalf of users and businesses.

The AgentVerse is essentially a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. Ideally, the Fetch.ai team hopes that its AI agents will be used to redefine monetization strategy and also execute user requests like hotel and flight booking optimization, along with managing electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

On June 13, Fetch.ai, Ocean Protocol and SingularityNET merged to form the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) with the goal of combining each protocol’s AI features to create a vertically integrated tech stack.

Tokens from OCEAN and AGI are in the process of being converted to FET. As news of the alliance emerged, FET price rallied to an all-time high at $3.48.

In the months following the merger, FET price declined alongside the wider altcoin market, finding what appears to be a bottom at $0.70 on Aug. 5. This sharp drawdown took FET price back to its December 2023 range, which is raising eyebrows.

Historically, the crypto market has been riddled with narrative-driven hype cycles, and while it may be an unpopular opinion, the AI sector may become saturated with multiple identical solutions that don’t necessarily align with consumer demand or have the right type of product-to-market fit.

In the short term, AI token investors are likely to watch closely Nvidia’s earnings report, which is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, August 28.
