The 1-day bearish order block presents a stiff resistance zone for AVAX bulls

The market structure of AVAX was bearish on the 1-day chart. A move past the recent lower high at $15.06 would be required to shift the structure to bullish. Even in that scenario, it would highlight bullish intent and not necessarily an uptrend.

It was likely that a retest of this zone would provide a strong bearish reaction. Alternatively, Avalanche token prices could surge momentarily to the $15-$15.1 region to catch breakout bulls offside before a reversal.

The RSI flipped the neutral 50 level to support to show bullish momentum, but the OBV could not climb to the late May highs. This showed that the move upward was not backed by heavy demand for the asset.
