Avalanche [AVAX] eyes $53 as bullish momentum builds – What now?

• AVAX traded within a bullish pattern, with technical indicators suggesting a market rally could happen soon.
• Large investors have joined the movement and have begun purchasing the token.

Avalanche [AVAX] has had a rocky past month, with the asset declining 27.97%. However, there is potential for a major market boom as sentiment begins to change. In the past 24 hours, it gained a minor 2.05%.

Investor sentiment is turning bullish, along with other key metrics like the formation of a golden cross, which could aid the potential market rally, according to AMBCrypto’s research.

Bullish formation strengthens

On the chart, AVAX has formed a bullish structural pattern that could lead the asset to establish a new high. This bullish triangle pattern consists of a horizontal support line and a descending resistance line.

At the moment, AVAX has taken the first bullish leg up, reacting off the support level of the pattern at $24.53. The price is expected to move up from here, breaching the descending resistance line.

There are two major profit targets following the breach: the short-term target at $35.52 and the long-term target at $53.95, representing an approximate rally of 103% from its current price point.

However, the price could further accumulate at its current levels, trading back and forth within the support range between $22.87 and $24.53 before finally making its upward rally.

A slight decline and major rally in play

The technical indicators, Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), have hinted at the possible price movement and direction.

The RSI is currently in the bearish phase, with a reading of 34.21, and is heading toward a support level at 32.07.

Thus, AVAX could drop lower until it reaches the support level, which would provide a rebound and drive the price higher.

The bullish sentiment in the market has been confirmed with the formation of the golden cross, which occurs when the blue MACD line crosses over the orange signal line.

At press time, data showed the MACD line at 3.03 and the signal line at 3.06.

If the golden cross pattern remains intact, it indicates that the current bullish structure is still in play and the declining RSI is just a retracement.
