Bitcoin [BTC] found some solid footing at the $18.6k mark and managed to hold on to the $19k level over the past few days. In October, BTC refused to close a daily session below the $19k mark. Was this a show of strength from the stubborn bulls? Avalanche [AVAX], on the other hand, had a more bearish outlook.
Here’s AMBCrypto’s Price Prediction for Avalanche [AVAX] in 2022
The longer-term trend has been downward since August, and important levels of support were breached on the way down. At the time of writing, yet another selling opportunity was brewing for AVAX.

The move down from $16.97 to touch $14.42 was quite steep. The sharp plunge downward on the price charts saw the $16.4-$16.5 zone go without a retest on the way down. Such a gap sometimes has a tendency to get filled before a resumption of the former trend.
In this case, the higher timeframe trend was bearish. Moreover, in October, the $16.4 region has seen multiple candle wicks which saw a strong price move away. This meant that there was significant liquidity in this region.
Short sellers of the past week are likely to have set their stop losses just above the recent local high at $16.43. Therefore, a stop-loss hunt to this territory could materialize over the next few hours. Traders can look to enter near this region and target another leg downward.
Invalidation of this bearish idea would be a session close above $17. A move above $16.6, by itself, would signal short-term bullishness. A move above $16.9-$17 would flip the higher timeframe structure to bullish.
