Deep Dive
1. U.S. Nvidia Export Ban (Bullish Impact)
Overview: On November 7, 2025, the U.S. announced plans to block Nvidia’s AI chip sales to China, intensifying tech decoupling (Kanalcoin). Analysts speculate this could accelerate adoption of decentralized computing networks like Golem for AI workloads.
What this means: Golem’s decentralized GPU/CPU marketplace positions it as a workaround for entities affected by the ban. The news coincides with GLM’s 24h trading volume spike to $21.4M (+22.2%), suggesting speculative bets on its role in reshoring AI compute.
What to watch: Follow-on regulatory updates and partnerships between Golem and AI-focused projects.
2. Arkiv’s Decentralized Data Layer (Bullish Impact)
Overview: On November 5, Golem launched Arkiv – a decentralized database layer powered by GLM tokens (Crypto.news). It addresses vulnerabilities in centralized cloud providers like AWS, which suffered a 15-hour outage recently.
What this means: Arkiv expands GLM’s use cases beyond raw compute into data storage/management, potentially attracting web2 developers transitioning to web3. The token’s circulating supply is fully unlocked (1B GLM), so new utility could tighten available liquidity.
3. Technical Breakout (Mixed Impact)
Overview: GLM broke above its 7-day SMA ($0.184) and 30-day EMA ($0.189), while the RSI-7 hit 64.85 (approaching overbought).
What this means: Short-term traders may interpret this as a bullish signal, but the 200-day EMA resistance at $0.241 remains a critical barrier. The MACD histogram turning positive (+0.00248) supports upward momentum, but profit-taking could emerge near the 23.6% Fibonacci level ($0.207).
What to watch: Sustained closes above $0.207 could target $0.223 (swing high), while a reversal below $0.184 may trigger corrections.
Conclusion
GLM’s rally reflects a mix of geopolitical tailwinds, ecosystem growth, and technical momentum. While the Nvidia ban and Arkiv launch validate its decentralized compute narrative, traders should monitor whether buying pressure persists above key resistance levels.
Key watch: Can GLM hold above $0.20 if broader crypto markets remain in “Fear” (CMC Fear & Greed Index: 21)?
