Protocol upgrade and EU alignment drive hopes for adoption rebound

VeChain has launched its Hayabusa mainnet upgrade, introducing full Delegated Proof of Stake and allowing all holders to participate in staking or delegation as part of the new decentralized protocol. The update also revamped tokenomics, brought NFT-based staking with governance rights and VTHO rewards, and aligned the protocol with EU MiCA regulations to enhance institutional adoption across Europe. The network now benefits from improved scalability, transaction finality, and platform performance, strengthening VeChain's positioning for broader enterprise and Web3 integration.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights VeChain’s sustained weakness below key moving averages and persistent negative momentum. He points out that the recent Hayabusa upgrade has not yet translated into positive sentiment or price recovery. Oscillators show oversold conditions, but there is little evidence of strong buyer demand. The analyst is wary that a loss of $0.01078 support could trigger another bearish phase. "Until buyers step in decisively, rallies are likely to be short-lived and downside risk remains the dominant scenario."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views the Hayabusa mainnet launch as a fundamental catalyst for VeChain's future growth. He sees increased staking, improved tokenomics, and MiCA alignment as strong drivers for institutional engagement and network adoption. Karapetjanc remains confident that these upgrades enhance the project’s long-term value proposition. He believes the current pullback can create attractive entry points for forward-looking investors. "Decentralization and regulatory readiness put VeChain ahead — renewed bullish momentum should follow as adoption accelerates."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes that VeChain is caught in a short-term range with volatility elevated. He notes technical signals favor further downside, but the deeply oversold state hints at a possible relief bounce. Mehta suggests that tactical traders could watch for intraday spikes or a contrarian entry if the selling pressure fades. "If price action holds above $0.01078 despite negative momentum, a sharp move toward resistance is not out of the question."

Bearish momentum deepens as oversold signals and resistance converge

Technical signals remain bearish. The Ichimoku Kijun dynamic resistance is at $0.01535, and short-term support is weak below the current price. Daily momentum is mixed: the MACD shows strong selling and ADX is high, underlying a persistent downtrend, despite intraday buying activity. Oscillators (RSI at 32.12, Stoch RSI oversold, and CCI at -109) confirm a deeply oversold state, while the BBP reflects ongoing seller dominance. The awesome oscillator is neutral and intraday volatility remains high with price action toward the session highs.

Previously it was reported that VeChain extended its downtrend as sellers maintained control, with the asset trading below all major moving averages and encountering dynamic resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun. Momentum indicators such as the MACD, RSI, and CCI confirmed pronounced bearish sentiment, while intraday volatility intensifies as momentum signals continued to reinforce downside risk.
