Multi-timeframe price action and market structure

Daily structure (past ~3 weeks): Sharp impulse from 9/10 to 9/18 (≈29.4 → 35.2), followed by a corrective leg into 9/25 low at 28.66. Since 9/25, price is basing between ~29.0 and ~31.0 with higher lows (28.66 → 28.79 → 29.65) and lower highs stalling below ~31.2. This forms a tightening range, indicative of energy building for a break.
Intraday (hourly, today): Early dip to 29.67 (03:00), strong push to 30.84–31.04 (08:00–10:00), then a controlled pullback and sideways drift 30.47–30.70 into the close. This is a classic bull-flag/ascending consolidation after an impulse. The structure shows: higher high vs the Asian-session high and higher low vs early-session low.
Key daily levels identified by price action
- Supports: 30.00–30.10 (intraday bid and round-number magnet), 29.65–29.70 (today’s hourly swing low cluster), 29.10 (9/26 close), 28.66 (9/25 capitulation low)
- Resistances: 30.84–31.04 (today’s high cluster), 31.17 (Fib 38.2% of 35.23→28.66 leg), 31.65–31.95 (R2 and 50% retrace band), 33.0–33.7 (upper-range supply if a larger breakout occurs)

Trend and moving averages

20-day SMA: ≈31.0 (approx from last 21 closes; current price ~30.59 sits slightly below), signaling neutral-to-slightly-bearish vs the 20D mean.
50-day SMA: likely in the mid- to high-20s given July–Aug pricing; price remains above it, so the intermediate trend is still up.
Read: The market is consolidating between an up-sloping 50D trend and a flat-to-slightly-descending 20D mean. In such contexts, mean-reversion to the 20D coupled with higher lows often resolves higher if supports hold.

Momentum oscillators

RSI(14) daily (approx): ~46. Implication: momentum is neutral-bearish but improving; not overbought nor oversold. Room exists for an upside test to the low-31s without stretching momentum.
Stochastic (qualitative): oscillating mid-range; today’s intraday pullback reduced overbought pressure, setting up room for a new push.
MACD (12/26/9, qualitative): After the 9/18 peak, MACD line likely crossed below signal during the correction; histogram appears to be contracting toward zero as price compresses near 30–31, suggesting momentum sell pressure is fading and a bullish cross is possible if 31 breaks.

Volatility and range metrics

ATR(14) daily (approx): ~2.25. Expected 24h travel of 1.5–2.2 is reasonable in current calmer post-spike regime. This comfortably accommodates a 31.2–31.5 test from 30.6 without requiring an exceptional day.
Bollinger Bands (20,2) daily: Middle band ~SMA20 ≈31.0. With the upper band likely ~33–35 and lower band ~27–28, current price is in the lower-middle of the envelope. Bands have narrowed from the 9/18 spike, implying consolidation before next expansion.
Hourly Bollinger: Visible compression after the morning impulse, indicative of a potential follow-through attempt if price can sustain above VWAP and the flag’s upper bound.

Market profile, volume and VWAP context

Daily volume peaked on 9/23 (breakout/context day) and during the 9/25 dump; subsequent sessions show more moderate volume, typical of absorption in a base.
Volume behavior: Morning 10/01 rally printed notable volume at 08–09h UTC; post-push consolidation had lighter volume — constructive for a bull flag (supply not aggressively hitting the bid).
Intraday VWAP (today): Price closed near VWAP (~30.6), indicating a balanced session with no strong closing imbalance; but given the prior bull impulse, balance at VWAP just under resistance often precedes a retest.
OBV (qualitative): From 9/25 through today, OBV likely stabilized or gently ascended, consistent with quiet accumulation on dips.

Ichimoku (daily, approximate)

Tenkan (~9-period mid): ≈31.5 (high 35.91 vs low 27.14 in the lookback). Price at 30.6 is below Tenkan → short-term momentum not yet regained.
Kijun (~26-period mid): ≈29.1. Price above Kijun → medium-term trend remains supportive.
Cloud: After the September surge, the cloud is likely positive and not far below. Current setup (price > Kijun but < Tenkan) is a neutral-bullish state: often a prelude to a Tenkan reclaim attempt if support holds.

Fibonacci mapping

Major leg (9/18 high 35.23 → 9/25 low 28.66):
- 23.6% = 30.21 (tagged/held repeatedly)
- 38.2% = 31.17 (key resistance; aligns with intraday highs below 31.1)
- 50% = 31.95 (next resistance if 31.2 clears)
- 61.8% = 32.72 (stretch target beyond 24h unless a trend day occurs)
Minor leg (9/25 low 28.66 → 10/01 AM high 31.04):
- 38.2% retrace ≈ 30.14 (morning pullback area)
- 50% ≈ 29.94 (VWAP/round-number confluence)
- 61.8% ≈ 29.74 (deeper support and risk pivot)
Takeaway: 31.17 is a pivotal magnet/resistance for the next 24h; supports cluster 30.14 → 29.94 → 29.74.

Classical pivots (using 9/30: H 30.658, L 28.846, C 30.004)

PP ≈ 29.836; R1 ≈ 30.826; R2 ≈ 31.647; S1 ≈ 29.014; S2 ≈ 28.024
Today’s high around 31.04 effectively tagged R1 zone (30.83) and paused below the 31.17 Fib. If momentum returns, R2 (31.65) becomes the upper 24h stretch.

Candles and patterns

9/25 posted a long lower shadow near 28.66, indicative of demand absorption.
9/29–9/30: small real bodies around 30 handle — indecision near the developing point of control.
10/01 intraday: impulsive up-move followed by a narrowing flag. This is textbook bull continuation if the flag top (≈30.85–31.05) breaks with volume.

Wyckoff lens

Post-breakout distribution early 9/20s, markdown to 28.66, and now apparent re-accumulation between ~29–31. The lower-wick reaction at 29.65–29.7 and sustained bids near 30 suggest absorption of supply. A sign of strength would be a decisive move over 31.0–31.2 with increased volume.

Elliott-wave (tentative)

Primary impulse from early Sep into 9/18 likely a wave-3 type thrust. The 9/18–9/25 decline counts as wave-4 correction. Current structure resembles an early wave-5 attempt that stalled below 31.2; completing a minor ABC inside the base. Resolution above 31.2 would favor the start/continuation of the final subwave toward 31.9–32.7 in a larger timeframe; for the next 24h, the first waypoint is 31.2.

Correlations and regime

Crypto-beta context typically ties AVAX to BTC/ETH drift. In quiet BTC regimes, alts that have based after a dump tend to mean-revert upward. The observed intraday balance near VWAP with an earlier morning impulse is consistent with a constructive beta tape, assuming no external risk-off shocks.

Synthesis and 24h scenarios

Base case (60%): Hold 30.1–30.2 support, then retest 30.85–31.05 and probe 31.17. Likely intraday range 30.0–31.3 with a close near 31.0. This aligns with RSI room, VWAP balance, flag structure, and Fib magnet at 31.17.
Bull case (25%): Fast break above 31.17 triggers momentum toward R2/50% retrace band 31.6–31.95. Requires pickup in volume and a clean hourly close above 31.2. Probability lower but viable if broader crypto firm.
Bear case (15%): Lose 30.1/29.95 (VWAP/50% minor retrace), slide to 29.7–29.5. Only if supply re-emerges or macro beta sours. Even then, strong demand likely appears above 29.1.

Strategy construction

Rationale for Long: The confluence of (a) intraday bull flag, (b) higher-lows since 9/25, (c) support confluence 30.14/29.94, (d) key upside magnet at 31.17, and (e) neutral-but-improving momentum favors a tactical long for the next 24h.
Entry logic: Prefer a limit-on-dip near 30.50–30.55 (inside the flag, slightly below VWAP/mid-day congestion) to maximize R:R and participation. Alternative breakout entry above 31.06 is viable but offers less favorable initial R:R given immediate 31.17 resistance.
Profit target (TP): 31.25–31.35 zone captures the 38.2% Fib (31.17) and likely overshoot. This is achievable within the 24h ATR without requiring a trend day.
Risk anchor (not requested but prudent): Stop below 29.94 (50% retrace of the 9/25→10/01 leg and daily pivot support), or tighter below 30.10 for more aggressive R:R if actively monitored.

Conclusion

Bias: Buy dips with target at 31.3. Expect range trade with an upside attempt; probability-weighted path favors a 31.0–31.3 test. A clean break over 31.2 would open a momentum extension to 31.6–31.9, but base target remains 31.3 within 24h.

Next 24h prediction

Price likely oscillates 30.1–31.3, with intraday attempt to clear 31.0–31.2. Highest-probability close: around 31.0 ± 0.2. Risk to view: sustained trade below 30.0 would delay upside and risk a test of 29.7.
