Ankr price prediction: ANKR outlook after Microsoft and Tencent partnerships
  • Ankr (ANKR) price is up 70% this past week, while positive news has helped its value more than double on the 30-day timeframe.
  • Ankr has struck partnerships with Microsoft and Tencent.
  • The price outlook for ANKR is a potential retest of the resistance line at $0.058 and move higher, or a flip to recent demand zones.

The Ankr (ANKR) price soared to its highest price since August 2022, with bulls pushing past $0.05 to test a major resistance area.

While the token has pared some of the gains on Wednesday, the massive daily candle seen on Tuesday has helped to maintain weekly gains at 70% and 30-day gains at over 100%.

Ankr price forecast amid mega Microsoft and Tencent partnerships

ANKR’s breakout to highs of $0.058 happened as tech giant Microsoft announced a partnership with the blockchain platform. 

As covered by CoinJournal, the deal between Ankr and Microsoft is set to offer node services, and will focus on making it easy for enterprises and organizations to access blockchain data.  Microsoft will support the service via its Microsoft’s Azure marketplace.

The partnership with Microsoft comes on the back of another major collaboration with Tencent Cloud. In an announcement, the company said it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Web3 infrastructure provider. The partners will jointly work on a “suite of blockchain API services” as they help power Web3 growth.

The news has greatly aided ANKR price action over the past two days, with the cryptocurrency now trading roughly 40% higher since the huge candle on Tuesday.

What’s next for the Ankr (ANKR) price?

The ANKR price is up about 6% on Coinbase as of 13:30 ET on 22 February and is changing hands around $0.049.

While it has decreased from yesterday’s highs, the price is still near a key resistance line and a breakout could see it not only retest the $0.058 supply wall, but offer bulls a likely target to early May and early April resistance lines at $0.066 and $0.100 respectively. The daily and weekly RSI indicators are trending bullish to support this outlook.

But if the price turns bearish short term, a revisiting of old recent demand zones at $0.031 and $0.015 could be in play. Matthew Dixon, CEO of crypto ratings platforms Evai predicts ANKR price could even dip to its all-time low.

REDMOND, Washington : As Microsoft CEOs past and present gathered here to celebrate the company’s 50th birthday, one leader said he is targeting a particular metric’s improvement to guide his strategy on artificial intelligence.

Mustafa Suleyman, chief executive of Microsoft AI, said his consumer and research division is tracking the usual measures of adoption for the company’s AI assistant called Copilot. These include daily and weekly active users, distribution, and usage intensity for Copilot’s consumer offering, he said.

But Suleyman’s interest lies elsewhere.

“I really, really focus the team on SSR, the rate of successful sessions,” he said in an interview.

In an older era when consumers gave less real-time feedback on software, the time they spent with a product – on social media, for instance – or the problems they could solve represented crude “proxies for quality,” he said.

“Now, we actually get to learn from the anonymized logs and extract the sentiment,” said Suleyman, who joined Microsoft about a year ago after leading the startup Inflection AI. Suleyman was one of the only Microsoft executives other than former CEOs Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer and current CEO Satya Nadella to speak on stage at Microsoft’s Friday event at its Redmond, Washington, headquarters.

Suleyman said Microsoft has tasked an AI model itself to assess such sentiment and help determine Copilot chats’ SSR.

“Over the last four months, it’s gone up dramatically, and that’s what we optimize for,” he said.

Suleyman declined to state the rate in absolute terms or disclose other Copilot metrics.

The company last fall announced a more amiable voice for its consumer Copilot and the ability to analyze web pages for users as they browse.

On Friday, Microsoft demonstrated further features for Copilot: personalized podcasts, a tool to help consumers research complex queries, and eventually a look for Copilot that can be custom to each user and conversation.

“I would definitely go for something that was cutesy,” said Suleyman, “like a little Furby-type thing.”

Microsoft’s Incident Response researchers raised alarms of a new remote access trojan (RAT), dubbed StilachiRAT, which could deploy “sophisticated techniques to evade detection, persist in the target environment, and exfiltrate sensitive data,” the team shared in a blog post.

According to the team, the malware was discovered in November 2024, and it could steal users’ wallet information, and any credentials, including usernames and passwords, stored in their Google Chrome browser. StilachiRAT targets 20 crypto wallets including some of the most widely-used ones like MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, OKX Wallet, and BNB Chain Wallet.

While the malware has not been distributed widely, Microsoft did share that it has not been able to identify what entity is behind the threat and laid out some mitigation guidelines for current targets including installing antivirus software.

“Due to its stealth capabilities and the rapid changes within the malware ecosystem, we are sharing these findings as part of our ongoing efforts to monitor, analyze, and report on the evolving threat landscape,” the team wrote.
