VeChain (VET) – Price action and prediction
The recent weekly gains appear to have pushed VeChain (VET) back into a bull trend after spending the most time in the red this month. Right now, the coin has surged beyond its 50-day simple moving average. We are also looking at a very positive RSI with bullish activity expected in the near term.
VeChain (VET) still has to cross over $0.0963 for any breakout to be seen. At the time of writing, the coin was a bit below that resistance with a price of $0.09174. It is also important to note that VeChain (VET) is still over 65% below its all-time highs this year. It’s highly unlikely the coin will test those numbers again in 2021.
