The native token of Axie Infinity, AXS, has had it rough in the market over the past week.

The $55.56 level (white) was marked as a higher low after the price stagnated in the $44-$48 area in late January. The short-term uptrend early this month did not last, and the $70-level was too strong for the bulls to overcome. For a few days, the price hovered above $63.25 as support, but fell beneath it.
Over the past few days, the price has retested the $55.5 level from below. This bearish retest confirmed this level as a short-term resistance level, and the price was trading within the $44-$48 area once again.
It is important that demand arrives in this area, however, it might be unlikely. Bulls could be exhausted in the hours to come. If the selling pressure across the market doesn’t relent, then AXS would likely drop towards $38 in the days to come.
