• AVAX has experienced a decline over the past 30 days, dropping by 11.89%
• Analysts expect massive sell-offs if prices decline below the $22.84 support level.

Over the last 30 days, Avalanche [AVAX] experienced a considerable decline of over 11.89%. However, there was a slight recovery over the last seven days, reporting a 1.61% gain on the weekly charts.

Despite these developments, AVAX’s price remained relatively low from the recent high of $33.02 and 85% below ATH recorded three years ago.

The current market conditions have left analysts eyeing further gains. Inasmuch, Crypto analyst Trade Devils saw a rally after the altcoin formed a bullish pattern.

In his analysis, Trade Devils pointed to the inverse head and shoulder patterns that recurred across the altcoin market. If the prices break out of the stubborn resistance level of $22.84, the altcoin will rally.

However, the analyst sees massive sell off if it fails to hold above $22.84 support level.

Based on this analysis, the AVAX will make further gains since it has already passed its point of possible selling pressure.

This market sentiment was further supported by a negative OI-Weighted Funding Rate, suggesting an increase in demand for short positions, with many investors betting on the market to drop.

Thus, sentiment was bearish, as investors seemed to lack confidence in the altcoin’s future direction.
