If bulls maintain the same accumulation pattern, Axie Infinity price could rise to tag the next barricade at $10.10, retesting the early March highs. In highly bullish cases, AXS could extend a neck higher to confront the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $11.26 or make a 28.70% climb to tag the $11.73 target.

The bullish outlook for AXS draws support from the Awesome Oscillators (AO), which were positive and flashing green to show that bulls were leading the market. In the same way, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 57 indicated there was more room north.

Further bolstering the bullish thesis is the fact that AXS had strong support downward due to the 100- and 50-day EMAs at $9.04 and $8.81 levels, respectively. These supplier congestion levels provide the ideal recovery points or entry points for sidelined investors.

On-chain metric supports the bullish thesis for Axie Infinity price

Santiment data social volume metric also supports the bullish case for Axie Infinity price. The data shows that AXS social volume has been increasing steadily since early March, rising from 21.83 on March 3 to a peak of 760 on March 19. The social volume metric now stands around 213, marking a nearly  900% increase between March 3 and April 17.

Social volume is a key indicator because it represents the overall activity of a security or a market. A significant increase in social volume can indicate an increasing interest in AXS among traders and investors.

Conversely, if buying momentum fades, AXS bears could seize the opportunity to pull down the Metaverse token’s market value. In such a scenario, Axie Infinity price could drop below the 50-day EMA at $8.81 and into the cliff, presenting under the uptrend line. A daily candlestick close below this level will invalidate the bullish thesis.

Further, Axie Infinity price could extend a leg south to tag the $7.78 support level or, in the dire case, revisit the $5.98 support flow before collecting sell-side liquidity under this level.
