Avalanche price mirrors last week's sell-off, hinting that bulls want cheaper prices

  • Avalanche price falls penny from Eiffel style during the final trading week of August.
  • AVAX price shows a massive uptick in volume amidst the downslide
  • Invalidation of the downtrend is a breach above $24.

Avalanche’s AVAX price shows significant sell pressure that investors should be aware of

AVAX price headed south

Avalanche price has lost support from the bulls during the final trading days in August. Since August 19, the AVAX price auctioned within a congestive barrier after declining 30% just days before. Now it appears the bears are back to wreaking havoc as a second bearish decline has ensued with extreme force behind it.

Avalanche’s AVAX price currently trades at $21.28. The Ethereum-based gaming token shows a massive uptick in bearish presence on the Volume Profile Indicator. Furthermore, Friday’s decline mirrors identical free-fall technicals that occurred last week during the 30% rally.

When combined, the AVAX price is likely to decline to lower targets. Key levels of interest are $20 and potentially $17. Nonetheless, markets are always subject to evolve and change course. The earliest invalidation of the downtrend thesis is a breach above $24. If the bulls can hurdle this level, they could prompt a rally towards the previous weekly high at $29, resulting in a 36% increase from the current AVAX price.
