Avalanche (AVAX) Breakout from Consolidation Faces Potential Failure
In Brief
- Avalanche’s price recently broke out of its consolidation within $39 and $31, which it might fail.
- Market cues suggest a decline is next for the altcoin as the MACD is close to a bearish crossover.
- Nearly $409 million worth of AVAX is sitting between $37 and $41, awaiting profits, creating resistance.
Avalanche’s (AVAX) price is facing significant resistance that could potentially invalidate the potential of a rally and push the altcoin back into consolidation.
AVAX holders could change the outcome, but they, too, would need incentives that the crypto asset may not be able to offer.
Avalanche’s Bullishness May Be Short-Lived
Avalanche’s price at $37 had broken out of the month-long consolidation it was in, reigniting investors’ optimism about gains. But AVAX fell back below the resistance of $39, essentially reinitiating consolidation.
One reason behind this is the lack of push from the broader market, as evidenced by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). MACD is a momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price, providing buy and sell signals.
For the last couple of days, the MACD has maintained a bullish crossover, but this could change soon. At the moment, the signal line is close to moving above the MACD line, and when that happens, a bearish crossover will be confirmed.
