Jakarta, Pintu News – Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) has surged nearly 88% in the past week and is now hovering around $1.45. Although it looks like a pause after the big run-up, some indicators below the surface are showing bullish signals for VIRTUAL’s price. According to the analysis of Ananda Banerjee, crypto analyst at BeInCrypto, there are three strong signs that suggest that this token may be gearing up for its next leg up!
On the 12-hour chart, VIRTUAL is consolidating within a bullish flag pattern (pole and flag), which formed after a sharp rally when traders took a break before pushing higher again. The pattern is getting tighter near the upper trendline, indicating that pressure is building for a breakout.

Between October 28 and 30, the token price registered a higher low, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) registered a lower low. This phenomenon, called hidden bullish divergence, occurs during flag-based consolidation. The RSI measures the strength of buying versus selling, and in the case of VIRTUAL, it indicates bullish continuation. In short, sellers’ control is weakening despite slowing price growth.

Adding to the bullish pressure, the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is about to cross above the 100-period EMA. EMAs smoothen price data to highlight recent momentum trends. When the shorter EMA crosses above the longer one, it often marks the beginning of a new bullish phase.

This crossover occurred just as the VIRTUAL price tested the upper flag limit. This is a rare alignment that strengthens the breakout hypothesis. If the EMA crossover and the close above the upper trendline occur together, it could act as a double confirmation of strength.

While retail traders may be waiting for clearer signals, smart money – the term used for experienced or institutional investors – is already showing its cards. The Smart Money Index (SMI), which tracks the flow of funds from informed traders, has been trending upwards since early October, although there have been a few dips along the way.
The index consistently records higher highs, even as prices consolidate, suggesting stealth accumulation behind the scenes. Increased smart money activity usually precedes price expansion, suggesting that big players expect the flag to split higher.

If VIRTUAL’s breakout above $1.60 holds, the potential upside targets are at $3.61 (per pole projection) and $3.92, according to Fibonacci projections. However, after the breakout, VIRTUAL may find the strongest resistance near $1.97 (before the $2 psychological barrier) and $2.95 (before $3). However, if the support at $1.37 followed by $1.17 breaks, it will likely invalidate this setup, which will signal a longer consolidation phase.
