AMBCrypto’s recent AVAX price analysis projected that the earlier bullish momentum could tip AVAX to $11. The projection was validated, but sellers entered the market after AVAX hit a key roadblock.

Will $10 stop the plunge?

AVAX’s recovery faced price rejection at a price imbalance area of $11.88 – $12.15 (white). A daily bearish order block (OB) of $12.15 – $12.46 (red) exists above the price imbalance sellers exploited for recent market re-entry. 

But the pullback has hit a key bullish level and a previously invalidated daily bullish OB of $9.89 – $10.13 (cyan). Below the bullish OB, another price imbalance/liquidity area of $9.49 – $9.81 (white). 

So, the AVAX’s drop could ease at the above two levels if BTC doesn’t post excessive losses in the next few days. As such, $9.5 and $10 could be key buying interest levels, with immediate bullish targets at $10.54 and $11.02. 

Conversely, an extended plunge below $9.49 (price imbalance) will weaken AVAX’s more. In such an extremely bearish scenario, the next supports are $9.3 and $9.0.  

Meanwhile, the RSI retreated toward the 50-median level at press time, denoting sell pressure heightened in the past few days. An RSI rebound at the 50-mark will confirm a potential price reversal at $9.5 or $10. 

However, the demand for AVAX declined, too, as shown by the OBV’s downtick.

It shows demand for AVAX in the Futures market improved but dropped in the past two days. 

A dip in volume and liquidation of more long positions in the past 24 hours before press time further cemented the above bearish sentiment in the Futures market.
