Virtual Protocol’s (VIRTUAL) reversal is gaining traction. The asset jumped 16% over the past 24 hours, shaking off bearish pressure.
The uptick is supported by a 90% increase in trading volume on the 24-hour timeframe.
Now resistance is in sight. But if buyers remain in control, will VIRTUAL’s price extend the rally?
VIRTUAL Tests Key Upper Boundary
At the time of writing, VIRTUAL’s price is pressing the upper boundary of its multi-week range after a sharp rebound. Price now trades near $0.67, approaching horizontal resistance around $0.70.
The move follows a strong bounce from the $0.58 demand zone, signaling buyers are regaining short-term control.
Technically, short-term momentum indicators. has turned positive.
On the 4-hour chart, the Money Flow Index (MFI) has surged to 67.7, climbing from oversold territory earlier this week. This shows capital inflows accelerating.
Meanwhile, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) has flipped green and crossed above zero. That shift confirms the bullish structure is strengthening rather than fading.
However, price remains inside a broad consolidation band between roughly $0.46 support and $0.70 resistance. Recent candles have formed higher lows, suggesting accumulation.
Yet, VIRTUAL’s price must close above resistance to confirm a breakout. Otherwise, rejection could trigger another rotation back toward mid-range levels near $0.62.
A sustained upward move, coupled with intense buying pressure, could lead to a short-term breakout.
Agent Transactions Drive Volume
Beyond price action, x402 Virtual Protocols’ micropayment engine continues to play a pivotal role in driving activity within the ecosystem.
This micropayment protocol enables Virtuals ACP agents to transact seamlessly for services such as data queries, swaps, workflows, and inferences.
Demand for x402 surged after the $1 million monthly incentive program, doubling volume in the first epoch (Feb 11-23), with top agents earning $32,000 -$66,000 in incentives on top of fees.
“Majority of the demand (99%+) comes from agent-to-agent services from Virtuals ACP (e.g., data queries, swaps, workflows, and inferences).” Crypto analyst OxJeff notes
VIRTUAL Price Prediction: Eyes on $1.09
VIRTUAL’s price surged 12.5% on February 25, 2026, breaking above the short-term descending trendline that has capped the price since late January.
The move pushed the pair to $0.68, signaling the first real buying momentum since early February.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 53, just above the neutral level, indicating mild bullish pressure and room for further upside.
Meanwhile, the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) ticked up to 0.019, confirming increased volatility and buyer activity.
Immediate resistance lies at $0.90, aligned with the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement. Breaking this level could open the way to the $1.09 mark, coinciding with the 0.5 Fibonacci zone.
On the downside, support rests near $0.66, followed by a key floor at $0.28. In addition, rejection below these levels would reignite selling pressure.
