VET’s price has surged past key technical indicators, including its 9-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of $0.02170, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment towards bullishness.
The press time resistance level at $0.05 remained a key focal point for traders. If VET manages to surpass this level, it could trigger further buying pressure and open the door for more significant gains.
However, short-term caution is warranted as the RSI, on the 1-hour chart, was sitting at 50.68, indicating neutral momentum.
The slight pullback from recent highs suggested consolidation before any potential move higher.

Also, the MACD line crossed slightly below the signal line at the time of writing, suggesting a potential short-term slowdown in momentum.
However, the histogram showed minimal divergence, implying the trend could remain sideways in the near term.
VET surges in volume
The Open Interest (OI)-Weighted Funding Rate for VET has stayed positive at 0.0099% at press time, indicating that long positions were paying funding fees to short positions.
