The token has now advanced roughly 25% over the past week and 143% over the last month, making it one of the strongest performers among large-cap altcoins.<\/p>\n<p>The rally gathered momentum after reports confirmed that OpenAI had confidentially filed for an initial public offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Because Worldcoin shares co-founder Sam Altman with OpenAI, traders have frequently treated WLD as a liquid proxy for AI-related investment themes.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the bullish backdrop, risk appetite improved across global markets after reports of a U.S.-Iran peace agreement eased concerns over disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The development pushed oil prices sharply lower and encouraged capital to flow back into high-beta technology stocks and cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Eightco Holdings added another catalyst when it <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/invest\/status\/2065898148006924593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">disclosed<\/a> ownership of approximately 283.45 million WLD tokens, equivalent to about 8.4% of the circulating supply. The company described the position as its largest allocation within the digital identity and artificial intelligence sector, reinforcing the institutional case for the token.<\/p>\n<p>Trading activity has also concentrated heavily on South Korea\u2019s Upbit exchange in recent sessions. When a single venue accounts for a large share of price discovery, momentum-driven buying can accelerate upside moves as traders compete for liquidity.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur Hayes\u2019 recent sale of WLD had briefly generated concern among some community members and traders who viewed the move as a sign of weakening conviction. Those fears faded quickly as fresh demand entered the market, with buyers absorbing the selling pressure and driving prices to new local highs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Derivatives traders add exposure as bullish momentum accelerates<\/h2>\n<p>Derivatives activity has expanded alongside the rally. Open interest has climbed above $406 million, while funding rates have turned positive as traders increasingly position for further gains. The combination suggests a new long exposure has entered the market following the breakout.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, short sellers were forced to cover positions after WLD pushed through multiple resistance zones, helping fuel a squeeze that accelerated the move beyond the $0.50 level. Leveraged traders now face a new battleground around the $0.60-$0.65 region, where previous supply zones remain visible on higher timeframes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the recent surge, Worldcoin still trades more than 95% below its all-time high near $11.74. Regulatory scrutiny surrounding the project\u2019s biometric data collection and Orb verification system continues to present a long-term challenge for adoption in several jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Triangle breakout targets higher levels while resistance remains ahead<\/h2>\n<p>Technical indicators continue to favor buyers. On the daily chart, WLD has completed a major reversal from its April and May lows near $0.24. The Supertrend indicator has flipped bullish, while the MACD remains above both its signal line and the zero line, showing sustained upward momentum.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Worldcoin daily price chart \u2014 June 15 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The four-hour chart presents an even clearer bullish structure. WLD recently broke out of a symmetrical triangle pattern after spending nearly two weeks compressing between rising support and falling resistance. The breakout occurred near the $0.50 area and has since been followed by a sharp expansion in price.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1827\" height=\"954\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1781516795_41_Worldcoin-price-rallies-20-as-OpenAI-IPO-buzz-and-Eightco.webp.webp\" alt=\"Worldcoin price has confirmed a bullish breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart.\" class=\"wp-image-14467283\"  ><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Worldcoin price has confirmed a bullish breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart \u2014 June 15 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Using the height of the triangle, the measured move projects toward roughly $0.74-$0.75, which aligns with the next major resistance zone on the chart.
