With whales showcasing their interest, GMX price has shot up more than 20% in the past two days. But technical analysis suggests there might be another opportunity to accumulate GMX in the coming days before it takes off for good.

GMX price likely to dip before skyrocketing

GMX price is hovering above the $39.68 support level but is facing rejection at $42.80, which is the midpoint of the 66% crash witnessed between March 13 and April 13. Going forward, investors can expect the DEX token to crash nearly 8% and revisit the $39.68 to $35.98 accumulation zone.

Depending on the interest from sidelined buyers, GMX could see a quick bounce that kickstarts its massive ascent. If this move flips $42.80, it would open the doors to the $56.05 hurdle, roughly 30% away. 

But the bulls' target would ideally be the sell-side liquidity resting above the set of equal highs formed at $64.93. This move would constitute a 63% gain, measured from the $39.68 level.

Regardless of the whales’ involvement, a crash in Bitcoin (BTC) price could trigger a correction for GMX as well. In such a case, a breakdown of $35.98 would produce a lower low and invalidate the bullish thesis. 

This development could open the path for GMX to crash 16% before finding a stable support level at $30.13.
