AVAX’s price has been hovering above a stable support level with no signs of a volatile move in sight. However, things could change as Bitcoin’s price is starting to look bullish. Therefore, investors need to pay close attention to altcoins as they could explode soon.
AVAX has crashed by 84% from its all-time high of $146.75. A majority of its downswing took place over the last two weeks or so. After the FOMC meeting in the first week of May, trouble started brewing for UST and LUNA. This development ultimately exacerbated the already weak market structure and crashed Bitcoin’s price from $31,000 to $29,000 and then, $25,000.
This sudden downtrend caused altcoins including AVAX to suffer a similar fate. For AVAX, it was a 67% downswing, one that pushed it down from $69.46 to $22.43 and briefly shattered the $31.38-barrier.
So far, the recovery above this level has flipped into a support level, suggesting that a further uptrend is likely. The immediate hurdle at $39.92 is where buyers will face some resistance from sellers which will be a determining factor.
If Avalanche manages to flip this level into a support barrier again, it will open the path for a quick 25% run-up to $52.53. In total, this move would represent a 55% ascent from the current position and is likely where the upside is capped for AVAX.
A failure to move beyond $39.92 will indicate that the buyers are weak and non-collaborative. This could trigger a retest of $31.38.
If sellers take control and flip this barrier into a resistance level, it will invalidate the bullish thesis and trigger a crash to $20.80.
