VeChain Technical Analysis

VeChain’s coin, VEN, appears to have found resistance at $6 in its new uptrend towards the all-time high level of $9.45.

VEN/BTC is also retracing back from the all-time highs, currently testing the upper band of the daily Ichimoku cloud. It is supported at the 38% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.00048.

The future cloud appears to be flat but slightly bullish. The Tenkan line is heading down towards the Kijun line in the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo‘s 9-26-52 setup on the daily chart. Pivot level is at 23% Fibonacci level of 0.00058. With this, we could see an extended period of consolidation before VEN/BTC finds its new direction.
