The AI Agent trend has gained new momentum alongside fresh retail liquidity, boosting Virtuals Protocol to a 20% weekly gain as the altcoin of choice.
Better-than-expected US inflation data and a US-China trade agreement have revived risk-on sentiment, clearing the market headwinds that have left most coins stagnant.
To its credit, VIRTUAL has proven among the best cryptos to buy amid economic-driven market FUD—now up 350% since the mid-April market bottom.
Is This the Next AI Agent Wave?
According to a Dune Analytics dashboard, AI agents have led the market revival over the past week, posting a net 58% price growth.

VIRTUAL Price Analysis: Is $10 the Next Virtuals Protocol Target?
The Virtuals Protocol price flight may be facing turbulence as momentum shows its first cracks.
The weekly surge has been snubbed at $2.20 resistance as the uptrend finds itself increasingly suppressed as it battles overbought conditions.

The concern is that the recent rise may have been too much, too fast. A wave of profit taking may be the next step to find level footing closer to a neutral 50.
This cautious outlook is reinforced by the MACD line, which has formed a death cross on the daily, falling below the signal line.
While this has not proven damning in the past, it has marked the start of correction periods for VIRTUAL. A retest of past strong support at the 20SMA could be the next target—a 12% decline from current levels.
Zooming out, the uptrend appears unlikely to be fully derailed.
The weekly MACD has formed a golden cross, surpassing the signal line for the first time since the post-election rally—an early indicator of a longer-term bullish trend.
More so, this price rise could be the early onset of a cup-and-handle pattern. The neckline peak lies 170% higher at $5.10. While $10 is a reach for now, Virtuals Protocol appears to be on the right path.
