Avalanche price needs to set the stage
Avalanche price crashed 56% between March 18 and April 13 and has been in a sideways movement since then. This six-week consolidation almost ended as AVAX shot up 11.53% on May 20, triggering a breakout and setting up a local top of $41. But as time passed, this move was undone by bears, evolving this breakout into a failed attempt, leading ot a 13% crash.
Now, AVAX trades inside the aforementioned range. Long-term investors are likely to wait before buying the dips. A sweep of the range low of $31 will be a key pivotal point that could trigger a lot of buy-the-dip orders.
The resulting bounce could see Avalanche price to retest the range high of $39 as its first move. Beyond this, AVAX could also attempt to retest the $47 hurdle, which is the next key resistance level. This move would constitute a 47% run-up and is likely where AVAX could form a local top.
