CryptoQuant’s data revealed that AVAX’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) and stochastic were both in oversold positions. This could be considered as a massive bullish signal, and an indication that a price surge may occur in the days to follow. Santiment’s charts also looked quite favorable.

Not all sunny after all?

While the metrics suggested a further increase in AVAX’s price, the market indicators told a different story. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon revealed that the bears had the upper hand in the market. This could bring trouble in terms of a price hike.

Another bearish signal was the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which was well below the neutral level. Nonetheless, the Money Flow Index (MFI) was hovering right near the oversold zone, giving investors hope for better days ahead.
