On-chain activity surges as protocol and validator upgrades boost sentiment

VeChain is set to activate its InterStellar protocol upgrade, including the VIP-255 package of Ethereum Virtual Machine improvements, at block height 25,902,540, with the upgrade scheduled for September 16, 2026, according to official statements from VeChain. The move will align VeChainThor with Ethereum’s Cancun, Prague, and Osaka standards, driving compatibility enhancements for developers and contributing to increased on-chain activity, validator participation, and trading volume. The recent Hayabusa upgrade also enabled new validators, including two operated by Cointelegraph, and contributed to the market activity reported by DiarioBitcoin and cryptonews.net.

Bullish trend extends as high ADX and buy signals dominate the week

On the daily chart, the advance is underpinned by a sustained move higher with a firm trend, as reflected by the strong ADX reading of 48.90009899. The MACD and Bull/Bear Power indicators are both in buy territory, supporting the current upside momentum. Volatility over the past week was 23.71%, highlighting an active market. Immediate support remains at $0.006863 while resistance is defined by the recent high at $0.00849, making these the critical levels to watch for the next directional move.

Bullish bias holds for next week as breakout risk centers on key resistance

In the week ahead, the expected range spans $0.00688807 to $0.00860992. There is a very high probability (more than 80%) of an increase and a very low probability (less than 20%) of a decrease. The base case is for price to consolidate between support at $0.006863 and resistance at $0.00849. A sustained push above $0.00849 would signal further bullish momentum, while a drop below $0.006863 would open the door to downside risk.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that VeChain (VET) gained over 12% this week, trading near $0.0077, but now faces technical overbought signals and strong resistance. He observes that network upgrades, including the upcoming InterStellar protocol and recent validator additions, have driven increased participation and elevated trading volume. The advance is technically firm, as shown by a strong ADX reading of 48.90009899 and buy signals from both the MACD and Bull/Bear Power. However, volatility remains high at 23.71%, with critical daily support at $0.006863 and resistance at $0.00849. Base expectation is for consolidation, unless price breaks above resistance or falls below support. "I remain cautious this week — unless VET clears $0.00849, upside is likely capped and risks remain elevated."

Earlier, analysts noted that VeChain was experiencing a shift toward bullish momentum driven by anticipation for its InterStellar network upgrade, despite intermittent selling pressure. The current analysis adds strength to this outlook with confirmation of elevated participation and persistent upside, making a sustained break above $0.00849 a pivotal development to watch for further gains.
