VIRTUAL Token Hits All-Time High as Trading Volume Exceeds $220 Million
VIRTUAL token’s price surge to $2.35, backed by a rise in trading volume and open interest, signals strong bullish momentum. If momentum holds, it may extend its rally past previous highs.
VIRTUAL, the native token of the decentralized platform for the creation and monetization of AI agents Virtuals Protocol, climbed to an all-time high of $2.39 during Friday’s early Asian session. While it has since eased by 5%, the VIRTUAL token price remains up 18% in the past 24 hours.
The altcoin currently ranks as the market’s top gainer during the review period and appears poised to extend its gains.
VIRTUAL Witnesses Spike in Trading Activity
VIRTUAL’s double-digit rally has been matched by a surge in trading activity, with volume climbing to $228.71 million — a 13% increase in 24 hours.
When a surge in trading volume accompanies an asset’s price rally, it indicates interest and broad participation amongst market participants. Also, higher volume during a rally suggests that the price increase is supported by actual demand rather than speculative activity.

Open interest refers to the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, such as futures or options, that have not yet been settled or closed. When open interest climbs during a price rally, new positions are created as more traders enter the market.
This rise signals that the price rally is backed by increasing market participation and could suggest the potential for continued price momentum.

On the daily chart, VIRTUAL’s Elder-Ray Index supports this bullish outlook. At press time, the indicator is significantly above the zero line at 1.04.
This indicator measures the strength of bullish and bearish pressure in the market by analyzing price movements against a moving average. A positive Elder Ray Index indicates buyers are in control, with the current price exceeding the moving average. This suggests bullish momentum and the potential for further upward movement.
