Worldcoin’s price soared to an all-time high of $9 on Feb. 22, up by a staggering 336% in the last 10 days as OpenAI’s SORA launch and NVIDIA earnings emerge as key drivers.&nbsp; 
On Feb. 22, Worldcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/worldcoin/">WLD</a>) achieved unicorn status, crossing the $1 billion market capitalization milestone. 
WLD’s emergence on the crypto top-gainers chart is largely attributed to bullish headwinds from NVIDIA’s stock performance and OpenAI’s recently shipped SORA generative AI video rendition model.&nbsp; 
It remains to be seen if Worldcoin’s underlying ecosystem’s growth can sustain the momentum or if the rally will peter out as the <a href="https://crypto.news/worldcoin-ftx-three-arrows-capital-creditors/">media hype</a> cools.&nbsp;

On Feb. 22, Worldcoin’s native WLD token stretched its remarkable price rally in February 2024 to a staggering 320%, adding $840 million to its market capitalization within a frenetic 10-day period.&nbsp; 
After a tepid start to the month, Worldcoin’s price trend flipped bullish on Feb. 15 when <a href="https://crypto.news/worldcoin-gain-openai-sora/">OpenAI</a> soft-launched its latest text-to-video AI model, Sora. 
Between Feb. 15 and Feb. 19, WDL price soared 160%, rising from $3 to a global peak of $8.&nbsp;

At the $8 territory, a rapid profit-taking wave saw WLD price retrace toward $6 on Feb. 21, as investors grew hawkish on NVIDIA’s Q4 earnings.&nbsp; 
However, the leading chip manufacturer posted record-breaking earnings on Feb. 21, sending its share price to all-time highs. Along with other AI-related risk assets, WDL price also rocketed further, hitting an all-time high of $9, adding another 50% to its February gains. 
Beyond the media hype, the Worldcoin project has witnessed increased global adoption since the turn of the year.&nbsp;

WLD’s over 300% price breakout in the last 10 days has been credited to the developments surrounding NVIDIA and OpenAI and for a good reason. 
However, looking past positive headlines, on-chain data trends show that Worldcoin has attracted a steady growth in user base, even before the latest frenzy.&nbsp;

The Santiment chart tracks the number of unique addresses holding units of a specific cryptocurrency. It shows that Worldcoin has attracted 3,608 new funded addresses since the turn of the year, bringing the total to 13,800 at press time on Feb. 23.&nbsp; 
A closer look at the red trendline shows that while WDL price dipped 50% from $4.21 to $2.20 between Dec. 17 and Feb. 5, it continued to attract steady growth in new investor addresses.&nbsp;

More data from the Worldcoin official website shows that 3.5 million people from 120 countries have now signed up for unique World IDs.&nbsp; 
This remarkable growth within the on-chain WLD ecosystem came after initial pushback surrounding its IRIS scanning and data harvesting concerns from critics. 
It, however, remains to be seen if this growth translates into steady on-chain transactions and network activity sufficient to keep WLD on its current upward trajectory.&nbsp; 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="worldcoin-price-prediction-10-is-the-next-major-resistance">Worldcoin price prediction: $10 is the next major resistance&nbsp;</h2> 
In terms of short-term price action, without another comparable bullish catalyst, Worldcoin’s price will likely enter a pullback below $8 in the coming days.&nbsp; 
With prices trending at all-time highs, virtually every existing holder sits on unrealized profits. As media fanfare surrounding SORA and NVIDIA wanes, some strategic investors could look to take some profits.&nbsp; 
The upper and lower Bollinger bands are stretched to extremes, pointing in opposite directions. This rare market alignment happens when an asset has reached overbought conditions and is primed for a pullback.&nbsp; 
If this scenario plays out as predicted, losing the $8 support could trigger a free fall toward the 20-day SMA price at $4.20, the previous peak recorded before the blistering rally set in 10 days ago.

On the other hand, there’s a chance bullish investors could hold out for more gains, especially with the official launch of SORA still to come. In this case, the bulls must first scale the $10 psychological resistance.&nbsp; 
This week’s price trends show that WLD witnessed a momentary pullback each time the price approached nominal milestones at $8 and $9, respectively. A repeat of this pattern could see the WLD price rejected from $10 during the next rally.
