Structure and Formations
Price formed a bullish engulfing pattern at $14.30, but momentum failed to hold, leading to a sharp 4-hour decline to $14.21. A long bearish candle at 14:15 ET, with a wide range of $0.17, signaled exhaustion near $14.30. A doji at $14.56 suggests indecision earlier in the session, while the decline from $14.75 to $13.95 saw multiple rejection levels at 14.30, 14.0, and 13.95.
Moving Averages and Momentum
The 5-minute 20SMA dipped below the 50SMA during the sell-off, confirming bearish momentum. Daily moving averages (50, 100, 200) remain neutral, with no strong directional bias. RSI peaked above 70 in the morning before trending downward, showing bearish divergence. MACD crossed below the signal line, signaling a potential continuation of the downtrend.
Volatility and Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands expanded significantly after 14:00 ET as volatility increased, with price moving outside the lower band during the session’s worst 2 hours. This suggests increased fear in the market. The expansion also reflects a period of high turnover and rapid price swings.
Volume and Turnover Divergences
Volume surged during the 4-hour breakdown to $14.21, with over 123k AVAX traded. Turnover spiked to over $1.75M in that period, confirming the move. However, volume waned as price approached $14.00, suggesting potential support. A divergence between declining prices and lower volume may indicate a short-term pause in the fall.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci levels drawn from the recent $14.30 to $14.75 move show a key support at 61.8% at $14.30 and resistance at 38.2% at $14.53. Daily retracements from the $14.75 high to the $13.95 low suggest strong support at $14.0 (61.8%) and possible resistance at $14.45 (38.2%).
Forward Outlook and Risk Note
AVAXUSDT may test the $14.0 support area in the next 24 hours if sellers remain in control. A failure to hold above $14.0 could trigger a deeper pullback. Investors should also watch for a potential bounce from key Fibonacci and Bollinger Band levels. As always, volatility and volume shifts could surprise market expectations.
