VeChain (VET)

VeChain (VET) has climbed nearly 5% over the past week to hover around $0.0069, driven by a surge in trading volume that doubled its monthly average, according to tradersunion.com. The token moved above its 200-day moving average, coinciding with heightened network activity and anticipation for the Interstellar (VIP-255) protocol upgrade scheduled for September 16, 2026. Market sentiment remains positive as speculative demand builds around this upgrade and the launch of a new AI agent for fitness and nutrition applications.
Technical indicators reinforce this trending setup, with volatility recorded at 15.23% and the MACD showing strong buy momentum. A high ADX reading of 39.15133278 supports the trend, while the RSI sits at 66.63089717, approaching overbought territory. The nearest support level is identified at $0.00644, with resistance located at $0.007421.
Analysts note that a sustained move higher has dominated price action throughout the week. For the next seven days, VeChain is expected to trade between $0.0063919 and $0.00743009, with a very high probability of an increase. A close above the $0.007421 resistance would open further upside, while a drop below support could challenge the bullish momentum. Despite the strong rally, traders are monitoring whether the current momentum can overcome the increasingly overbought technical conditions.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for VET, measured when this story was written up on 5 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio’s spot data for VET shows a price of $0.006837, with a 24-hour buy ratio of 54.4% indicating that buyers are currently in control of the daily flow. However, the 1-hour buy ratio has dropped to 38.9%, suggesting that short-term buying pressure is fading compared to the broader 4-hour ratio of 53.4%. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at +$74,103, meaning net buying has outweighed selling over the day, but the 1-hour delta is negative at -$8,442, showing immediate selling pressure. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close is +$50,419, confirming that cumulative buying has exceeded selling over the full day. This divergence between the 1-hour and 24-hour metrics suggests that while the day has been net positive, recent hours have seen a shift toward sellers. The flow indicates a consolidation phase where daily buyers are absorbing short-term selling pressure.
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.
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, VeChain experienced a 7-day average buy ratio of 49.1%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 54.4% an unusual day with 5.3 points more buying than the weekly average. However, the spot volume for today was only 0.42x the average, indicating that this buying occurred on significantly lower participation than usual. The weekly volume delta was negative at -$234,349, contrasting with today’s positive daily delta, which highlights a shift in net flow. Only 2 of the past 7 days saw net buying, making today’s positive flow a deviation from the recent trend. The price change over the 8-day period was -1.1%, showing that despite today’s activity, the broader trend has been slightly bearish.
