Is or has it ever been said if the byakugan is capable of genjutsu and or resistant to it, just curious
There's no such thing as genjutsu immunity but genjutsu can be countered with kai release can can be seen through with genjutsu.
1. Seeing through genjutsu is an insight feat which Byakugan is superior at
2. Kai release involves chakra control which Hyuga have the best in NV
3. Genjutsu is a Yin technique and Hamura had stronger Yin affinity than Hagoromo
Ok....all that considered we don't have much to go on as far as what's actually shown
Otsutsuki? Yes...Hamura possessed Yin seal Hagoromo possessed Yang seal, that says Hamura had the stronger Yin affinity. In addition, Sharingan can see through genjutsu and seeing through illusions is an insight feat, manga says Byakugan insight is superior to Sharingan.
Finally, Kishi made a pattern where Otsutsuki descendants have the power to counter each other's powers, Hyuga have the potential to match Uchiha as much as Senju and Uzumaki

I fixed it for you the sharingan wasn't coveted by orochimaru for its genjutsu ability but ninjutsu ability.Look at it this way
Byakugan : taijutsu
Sharingan : genjutsu/ninjutsu
Rinnegan : ninjutsu
She even looks frightened in the scan they're using.When giving an example of the Hyuga clan Hinata shouldn't be used as an example she's a poor representation of Byakugan abilities past the general abilities. Like seeing long distance, through objects etc. I mean she with her Byakugan couldn't even tell Neji was using chakra to block her points and or see them to know. She was kicked out for lacking abilities it's understandable she inherited the weakest gene pool of the Hyuga. It's like using a fodder uchiha character as proof of Uchiha abilities in general that's not very good.
In truth excluding MS genjutsu I personally believe the Elite Hyuga can see through genjutsu since they can see through alterations in chakra and or chakra masses just as Sauce xan see. The resin I'm doubtful on MS is because the spred with which it's used.

The Byakugan's sight penetrates objects. To give you an example, if I wanted to see through the clothes of my crush, I would be penetrating her clothes with my eyes.
The Sharingan penetrates ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu by reading it before it even occurs. The Sharingan copy techniques to the smallest degree, and taijutsu. It can probably copy genjutsu and as shown, it can see through it and reflect it. You're taking penetrative out of context to fit your own argument. God help your children when they inherit your lack of reason.
