In terms of AI developments, although the tweet does not directly refere the AI, the broader market feeling of the cryptography market can be influenced by AI news. For example, it has been shown that recent progress in IA commercial algorithms increases negotiation volumes and affect the feeling of the market. A study of the crypto AI Research Institute, published on February 15, 2025, revealed that the commercial robots led by AI represented a 10% increase in the overall volume of the cryptography market in the last month (Source: Crypto Ai Research Institute, February 15, 2025). This increase in commercial activity can have training effects on coins, as IA algorithms often react to the feeling of social media, which has been clearly demonstrated in the immediate consequences of the Gordon tweet. The correlation between the commercial volume of the AI and the price movements of the meter part suggests potential trading opportunities for investors monitoring market trends focused on AI.
