Leading AI coins are posting bigger overnight losses than the top cryptocurrencies and meme coins.
Ocean Protocol ($OCEAN), SingularityNET ($AGIX), and Fetch.ai ($FET) are all down by double-digit percentage figures over the last seven days.
Last month’s news that $AGIX and $OCEAN are merging into the $3 billion market cap token $FET in a Binance-supported deal helped the tokens rally sharply from mid-to-late June.

At the time of writing, Fetch.ai is down 6.4% from its price this time yesterday and 16.4% over the last seven days. It now trades at $1.19.

A July rebound appears to have held, giving the token’s price headroom to climb again. However, $NEAR could very easily lose its gains if the price keeps falling.
Given its relative strength index (RSI) is 35 and falling, which indicates heavy selling, further losses
