Additionally, the breakout candle closed well above the $0.62 area highlighted on the chart. This level now represents the immediate breakout zone. Therefore, traders monitor whether price sustains acceptance above this threshold.
Virtual Protocol Retests Resistance as Breakout Momentum Faces Key Validation Zone
Upon the breakout, price shot off at an upward direction towards the resistance of $0.7168, the quoted resistance within the 24 hours range. VIRTUAL slightly surpassed that being at $0.7186. This means that previous resistance is currently in a retest situation.
In case price consolidates at above or over $0.7168 it would be an indication of short-term strength. Nonetheless, denial around this area may lead to intra-day volatility. On the negative aspect, the 24-hour support is still at $0.5778. This level is the lower end of the recent range and it determines structural risk.
Intraday Scenarios Set the Tone for VIRTUAL’s Next Move
Should VIRTUAL maintain over $0.62 and level off at over $0.7168, the price can likely go into the 0.70+ zone again today. Further purchasing pressure would ensure that highs remain high in the 4-hour time frame.
On the other hand, any failure to break over $0.7168 can cause the formation of a pullback to 0.62. Further downtrend might challenge the support of a price range of $0.5778. In the meantime however, the momentum is defined by the breakout candidate with current levels marking the price movement today.
