VIRTUAL price plunges below $1.50: What does this mean for investors?
Reported on October 27, 2025 FXStreet, that the price of Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) fell below the $1.50 mark on Monday. This decline follows a notable 20% increase in the last 24 hours, taking the token to its highest level since mid-August. This development is being driven by increased demand from retailers.
In addition, futures open interest (OI) for VIRTUAL has increased to approximately $190 million, reaching its highest level since the beginning of August. This increase in OI indicates growing interest and confidence among traders, which indicates positive market development. The rise in price coincided with the recovery of Bitcoin (BTC), which has risen above the $115,000 mark, as well as the upswing of other altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP).
Market development and trader sentiment
The OI indicator shows the nominal value of all open futures contracts. A rise in OI is often seen as a sign of increased trader interest and an optimistic market view. The OI-weighted funding rate trended positive on Monday, averaging 0.0049%. For comparison: On Sunday this value was -0.0631% and on October 11th it was even -0.2483%. These increasing funding rates suggest that traders are confident and are increasingly taking long positions.
Despite the current decline to around $1.45 - representing a loss of over 3.5% on profit-taking after four days of gains - the trend remains generally bullish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching the 70 level, signaling fading bullish momentum. This suggests that a longer correction could be imminent.
Technical analysis and support levels
For the coming days, traders should pay particular attention to a few key support levels. These include the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $1.25, the 100-day EMA at $1.16 and the 50-day EMA at $1.05. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains bullish and a buy signal has been active since Friday.
A daily close above $1.50 would not only support VIRTUAL's short-term bullish outlook but also increase the likelihood of a breakout towards $2.00. The developments of the next few days will be crucial for market movements and could significantly influence the direction for VIRTUAL.
