Hence, the theoretical price target for VRA price was near $0.0086, a spike of 115% from the breakout level of $0.004. The Verasity token price rallied over 71% since breaking out to reach $0.0069 on Oct. 4 before correcting.

The long lower wick on Oct. 4’s daily candle indicates bulls continue to buy the token. A continued rally could see the VRA price breaking above the resistance near $0.007 before targeting the resistance near $0.0077.

The RSI for VRA remained overbought, with a score of 89.44 on the daily charts. Overbought RSI levels often precede a bearish reversal or a consolidation phase for the asset’s price action. Therefore, traders consider the occurrence a bearish indicator and a sell signal.

Hence, if bulls fail to capitalize on the hype around the VRA token, bears could swoop in and push the Verasity token price to the 200-day SMA (green wave) support near $0.0058. Failure of the immediate support might force the VRA price to test the support near $0.005 before recovering.
