Will AVAX continue its rally?
The effect of the fee increase was also visible this time, as AVAX was among the only top coins to register double-digit gains. According to CoinMarketCapIn the last seven days alone, AVAX rose more than 30%.
At the time of writing, it was trading at $42.30 with a market cap of over $15.57 billion.
However, Avalanche’s growth rate slowed as its price rose only 1% in the past 24 hours. Therefore, AMBCrypto checked the token’s daily chart to see what to expect next.
According to our analysis, AVAX‘s MACD continued to support the bulls. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) was also well above the neutral line.
Nevertheless, the Money Flow Index (MFI) was in the overbought zone, which could depress the token’s price in the coming days.
Moreover, Avalanche’s price had reached the upper limit of the Bollinger bands. This meant that selling pressure on the token could increase and in turn reduce its price.
