VET’s recent rally offered investors a gain of about 40% as it rose from $0.01543 to $0.02168. During the rally, VET reached the overbought zone, as evidenced by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering above 70. The overbought condition makes a trend reversal very likely.
In addition, On Balance Volume (OBV) peaked and then showed a downturn, indicating that trading volumes peaked and declined slightly. Therefore, VET may drop the $0.02010 support and retest if it breaks and is held by $0.01950.
These two levels can provide short selling opportunities for short traders as VET weakens.

Finally, VET had a divergence between hidden price and open interest (OI) as VET hit higher lows from Jan. 14, but open interest fell sharply over the same period. It shows that the upside momentum could slow and make a U-turn as more money flows out of the VET futures market.
However, VET’s OI and volume could increase if BTC is bullish; thus, investors should monitor the performance of the King’s Coin.
