$VIRTUAL is up 17.15% on 7 days, 13.6 points ahead of BTC, and the tape says it isn't done.

the level that matters: yesterday's high at $0.7544 got broken and is now acting as support. an old ceiling turning into a floor is about the cleanest thing a chart does. volume over the last 5 days is 1.59x the 20 days before, so this isn't a thin drift.

for the story side, Illuvium has laid out plans for AI-driven NPCs through a partnership with Virtuals Protocol. that's a real use case for a dip buyer to point at, but the price action is doing the talking here.

setup score is 9 out of 14. i'm calling that a solid long, not a rocket.

$VIRTUAL trades at $0.774 right now. if it holds $0.7544, i think it pushes back into the $0.8 area, which is both the 24h high and the 10-day swing high, about 3.2% away. if it loses $0.7544, i'm wrong on this and there's nothing to defend. anyone long from here would be handing back the breakout, and the move turns into a fakeout.

holding $0.7544 or losing it?

follow me for more calls like this.
