The RSI on the daily timeframe was at 66.6, showing strong upward momentum. The OBV did not have a decisive trend, oscillating about the July highs without a clear breakout.
The volume trends showed buyer and seller pressure was relatively evenly matched, which slightly dented the idea that AVAX would see continued price gains.
Moreover, the higher timeframe swing structure has been bearish since June. The consolidation around $6.5 in recent months, as well as the recent breakout past $7.1 and the subsequent retest, was part of a broader downtrend.
The move ongoing was a retracement, and it could extend toward the $8.65 and $9.46 levels, which are important Fibonacci retracement levels (pale yellow).
Should AVAX traders buy the momentum？
