The post VIRTUAL rallies 10% – Can bulls flip $0.68 or face THIS risk? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Meanwhile, macroeconomic conditions remain stable, though overall market sentiment is still cautious. While these pointed to undecided participants, the team could have just given a hint at what could unfold for VIRTUAL. That said, did the Virtuals Protocol team know about the move beforehand? Is this an exit pump? On‑chain data…
