Velas price prediction after the strong Ferrari F1 showing in Bahrain

The Velas price popped sharply on Saturday after the strong showing by Ferrari’s Formula 1 team in Bahrain. VLX is trading at $0.1980, which is about 22% above the lowest level this year. It is also the highest it has been since March 10th.

What is Velas?

Velas came in the spotlight on Saturday after the first qualifying event of Formula 1’s season in Bahrain. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc took pole position while Carlos Sainz took second place. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen came between the two Ferrari racers.

Therefore, there is a likelihood that Ferrari’s team will have a strong performance on Monday and during the rest of the season. This will be a notable for Velas since it is one of the biggest sponsors of Ferrari.

In December 2021, Ferrari confirmed that it had inked a multi-year partnership with Velas, a small but fast-growing blockchain platform. At the time, Ferrari’s team principal, Mattia Binotto said:

“We are pleased to start this collaboration with Velas Network AG, a company that makes innovation and performance the hallmark of technologically advanced products and services.”

So, what is Velas? Velas is a layer 1 blockchain project that seeks to disrupt the smart contract industry. It aims to become a better version of Ethereum, a platform that developers use to build decentralized projects in the non-fungible token (NFT) and DeFi industries.

Velas offers a transaction per second (tps) average of 50,000, which is significantly faster than Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon. Further, the average cost of its transaction is about $0.0001 while that of Ethereum and BNB is $0.01 and $15, respectively.

Still, Velas faces significant challenges. For example, it competes with some of the biggest platforms in the world like Solana and Terra. Further, it seems like most developers have not yet embraced it since it is hard to pinpoint some of the apps built in the ecosystem.

Velas price prediction

The four-hour chart shows that the VLX price has been in a strong bullish trend during the weekend as Ferrari becomes the team to beat. It is slightly below the key resistance level at $0.2058. It has also moved slightly above the 25-day and 50-day moving averages.

Therefore, while it is too early to tell, there is a likelihood that it will soon make a bullish breakout as bulls target the next resistance at $0.25, which is about 25% above the current level.
