After a rough start to 2025 — where even Ethereum (ETH) dropped by 45% in Q1 — the crypto market is finally showing signs of revival. ETH has rebounded nearly 31% since its April 9 bottom, and this bullish momentum is rippling across the altcoin space.
One standout in this rally is Virtual Protocol (VIRTUAL), the project known for enabling AI agent-based token creation. VIRTUAL has made a stunning comeback, climbing an eye-popping 218% over the past 30 days. But what’s even more fascinating is a fractal forming on the charts — one that closely resembles Solana’s (SOL) explosive move from late 2023.

Take a look at the side-by-side comparison.
On the left, Solana (SOL) in late 2023 formed a classic rising wedge pattern — typically a bearish setup. However, instead of breaking down, SOL defied expectations and exploded nearly 96% higher after pushing through a key horizontal resistance zone (marked in blue).
On the right, VIRTUAL is now showing an eerily similar structure. After a sharp run-up, it’s consolidating in a rising wedge, testing a familiar blue resistance band — just like SOL did.
What’s Ahead?
If VIRTUAL continues to mirror SOL’s playbook, a breakout above the $1.88 resistance could ignite another leg upward — possibly targeting $3.50 to $3.60, marking a similar 96% rally from current levels.
But traders should stay alert. A drop below the 50-day moving average (~$1.60) may invalidate the bullish setup and signal a short-term cooldown.
