AI tokens continue to attract significant attention at the beginning of the first week of May, with Story (IP), Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), and GRASS standing out for various reasons.

Story has shown moderate growth but remains below the explosive pace set by other AI projects. In contrast, VIRTUAL has risen nearly 90% in just seven days, benefiting from renewed hype around AI crypto agents.

Story (IP)

Story (IP) has risen nearly 5% in the last seven days but has shown lower results compared to other leading AI-oriented tokens during the same period.

While many AI tokens have recently experienced explosive growth, Story's more moderate movement indicates a slower buildup of momentum.

Despite lagging behind, Story remains a project with strong fundamentals and increasing relevance in the decentralized content space, making its recent price behavior worth close attention. Its market capitalization is now slightly above $1 billion, which is a psychologically significant threshold that may influence future investor sentiment.

Technically, IP is currently trading very close to a key support level at $3.82; if this support fails, the next significant target for decline will be $2.97.

However, if support holds and momentum improves, IP could rise to $4.49, and with stronger buying pressure, extend growth to $5.04 or even $6.61.

Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)

VIRTUAL has risen nearly 90% in the last seven days, fueled by renewed interest in artificial intelligence narratives and AI crypto agents.

As AI narratives gain momentum in the market again, VIRTUAL has positioned itself as one of the main beneficiaries, quickly regaining attention after months of quieter trading.

Strong growth underscores the market's appetite for AI-related projects and positions VIRTUAL strongly on the way to the next important technical levels. Currently, VIRTUAL is approaching a key support level at $1.008; if this level is lost, the next targets for decline will be $0.84 and potentially $0.54 if selling pressure intensifies.

However, if VIRTUAL can maintain its positive momentum, it may rise to resistance at $1.17.

A successful breakout above this resistance could open the way for a move to $1.30, and if buyer interest remains strong, even $1.50—a level that VIRTUAL has not seen since February 5—could be reached.

GRASS

GRASS has proven to be less impressive compared to other major AI tokens, as its price has only increased by 0.4% over the last seven days.

While many AI tokens have recently shown strong growth, GRASS has remained relatively stable, indicating that bullish momentum has cooled.

Despite its subdued performance, GRASS still shows signs of internal strength, but it remains uncertain whether it can capitalize on the broader AI narrative. Technically, GRASS's EMA lines still have a bullish character, with short-term averages positioned above long-term ones, but the gap between them is narrow, suggesting a potential trend change in the near future.

If sales pressure increases, GRASS may test support at $1.63; losing this level could lead to further declines to $1.56 and even $1.45.

However, if GRASS can gather enough strength to test and break above resistance at $1.74, it may open the way for an increase to $1.82 and potentially $1.90.
