AVAX price drops below a key support level indicating further price declines may be witnessed in the near future. 

AVAX
  • AVAX has broken down a critical resistance level.
  • Metrics suggest a bearish trend continuation

Avalanche [AVAX] has recently witnessed  a significant breach below a key support level at $30.

AVAX has broken below $30 support level, which has acted as a critical floor since early May. This breakdown could open a new bearish momentum as investors may see this as a sign of weakness.

Key support breached

AVAX was rejected at 50-day Exponential moving average resistance level at $35. This resistance is a significant barrier for AVAX as the rising bearish momentum has overwhelmed the support level at $30.

It also indicated that further price dips may be witnessed. The price has now settled at around $28 with the next immediate support level being $27.

The downtrend was further reinforced by descending trendline which has been in place since April.
