cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that VeChain price has reached a level where the next move depends on buyers pushing through the 200-day EMA. That resistance sits around $0.0070 as VeChainThor prepares for its major VIP-255 upgrade on September 16. The VIP-255 update brings three core protocol changes to the network. The price is currently testing this key technical level ahead of the scheduled launch.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for VET, measured when this story was written up on 1 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows VET trading at $0.006713 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 51.8%, indicating immediate short-term buying interest. However, this momentum fades over longer timeframes, with the 4-hour buy ratio dropping to 47.6% and the 24-hour ratio settling at 48.7%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$1,015, suggesting recent inflows, but this is outweighed by negative deltas of -$24,708 over 4 hours and -$41,682 over 24 hours. Cumulative Volume Delta closed at -$75,947 for the day, showing that sellers have dominated the session despite brief buying spikes. Net buying occurred for only 10 of the 24 hours, highlighting a generally bearish flow structure.
The latest daily buy ratio of 54.4% sits at the 91st percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 49.8% - among the strongest buying days it has had.
Twenty-four hours later
What VET did over the 22 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for VET, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 49.1%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 48.7% slightly below the weekly norm by 0.4 points. Trading volume was just 0.40x the average, indicating significantly reduced participation compared to typical days. This low activity contrasts with an 8-day price increase of +18.6%, driven by a total volume delta of -$603,678. Only 1 of the past 7 days saw net buying, suggesting that recent gains occurred on weak or inconsistent support. Today’s volume remains subdued relative to the weekly baseline, confirming a quiet trading environment.
