$VELVET might be one of the most overlooked DeFAI plays right now (I think ATH gets taken out much sooner than most expect)
A few hours ago I shared $CLO here when it was trading around $0.17.
​
It's already trading around $0.22.
​
I've now moved my stop-loss to break even, so the risk is off the table, and I'm still targeting $0.69 because I believe there's much more upside ahead.
​
Now I'm looking at another project that I believe has an even better risk/reward setup at current levels: $VELVET.
​
I've spent quite a bit of time researching it, and the more I dig, the more bullish I become.
​
Unlike many AI tokens, this isn't just another narrative play. They already have a working product with:
​
• AI-powered on-chain trading
• Multi-chain support
• Non-custodial execution
• Perpetual trading
• Portfolio vaults
• veVELVET staking with governance and protocol rewards
• Buyback mechanics funded by protocol revenue
• A strong roadmap including Telegram trading, copy trading, wallet tracking and AI strategy execution
​
The project is also backed by names like YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), DWF Labs, Gate Labs and Selini.
​
The DeFAI narrative is only just getting started, and I think VELVET has a real chance to become one of the leading projects in the sector.
​
One thing that might make people hesitate is that VELVET has already moved significantly over the last few hours.
​
Personally, I see that as a strength rather than a reason to stay away.
​
The strongest projects rarely sit at the bottom waiting for everyone to buy. They start moving because people begin recognizing the opportunity. In my experience, waiting for a pullback often means missing the biggest part of the move.
​
To me, VELVET looks like a rocket that's only just left the launch pad, not one that's already reached its destination.
​
Technically, I also like what I'm seeing.
​
After the huge launch pump and the subsequent selloff, price has spent several days building a solid base around $0.38. Volatility has dried up, sellers appear exhausted, and price has been consolidating in a very tight range. To me, this looks much more like accumulation than continued distribution.
​
I'm personally long from these levels.
​
My take-profit is ABOVE the current all-time high.
​
That probably sounds aggressive, but I genuinely think the next leg higher could happen much faster than most people expect—possibly within the next couple of weeks if capital continues flowing into AI and DeFi.
​
Nothing is guaranteed, but from a risk/reward perspective I think this is one of the strongest setups I'm seeing right now.
​
What do you guys think? Am I missing anything bullish?
