VLX price: live chart, volume and market cap

The widget above shows the current VLX price in US dollars, a chart you can switch between one day, seven days and thirty days, plus trading volume and market capitalisation. The data comes from CoinGecko's public API and is requested by your browser each time you load the page; nothing is stored on our side, and we never fill in numbers ourselves.

How to read the chart

The glowing line is the price over the selected range, and the faint vertical lines beneath it are a visual aid: taller means higher price at that moment. Hover or touch to see the exact value and date. Green means the price ended the period above where it began, red means below. For a token that trades at a fraction of a cent, small absolute moves are large percentages, so look at the percentage change before reaching conclusions.

What moves the VLX price

• Overall crypto sentiment. Small caps usually move with Bitcoin, only harder.
• Exchange liquidity. With thin order books, one large order can shift the price.
• Project news. Releases, partnerships claimed by the team, or outages.
• Staking flows. Coins locked in staking reduce what is readily sellable.
• Listings and delistings. Adding or removing a market changes access.

A practical way to use the chart

Start with the longest range available and ask a simple question: is the current price near the lows, the highs or somewhere in between? Then shorten the range and see whether recent moves are large compared with the past. Many beginners only look at the last day and mistake normal volatility for news. Comparing ranges tells you what typical movement looks like for this coin, so you can set expectations before you place an order. It also helps to look at volume alongside price, since a jump on very low volume says less than one on heavy volume.

When the price moves, resist the urge to act within seconds. Check whether the move is specific to VLX or part of a market-wide swing by glancing at Bitcoin. If everything moved together, the cause is probably general sentiment, not something about Velas.

Price versus market cap

A low unit price does not mean a coin is cheap. What matters is market cap, which multiplies price by circulating supply. VLX has billions of coins, so each one costs very little, but the total value is what the market assigns to the whole network. For a sense of how the two relate, see market cap and supply.

All-time high in context

CoinGecko lists VLX's all-time high at about 57 cents. The distance from that peak is a reminder that early-cycle projects can lose most of their value and stay down for years. It is not a prediction that anything will recover, nor that it will not. Treat historical highs as context, not a target.

Reading volume and spread

Volume tells you how much was traded, and the spread tells you how expensive it is to trade right now. A coin with high reported volume but a wide spread can be a sign that part of that volume is not real activity. When you plan an order, look at the order book depth on the exchange: how much can you buy before the price moves by one percent? For small coins the answer is often modest, and that is the number that matters to you, more than the quoted price. If your intended order is a noticeable fraction of the visible depth, split it into parts or use a limit order.

Sources to cross-check

Aggregators such as CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap can differ in volume and supply because they include different exchanges and filters. For a price you can actually trade at, look at the order book on the exchange where you plan to act. Our price outlook explains why forecasts deserve scepticism.
