AVAX at a Capitulation Base: High-Volume Selloff Followed by Stabilization — 24H Bounce Setup Toward $9.10

Market Snapshot (AVAX)

Current price: $8.7531
Context (daily): Price has been in a clear downtrend from mid‑Nov (~~$16) to now (~~$8.75), i.e., ~45%+ drawdown.
Latest daily candle (Feb 11): O/H/L/C ≈ 8.7435 / 8.9258 / 8.4759 / 8.7531 with strong daily volume (~301.6M). This is a higher close vs Feb 10 (8.7438) and an intraday recovery from the low.
Intraday (hourly) behavior: A dip to the mid‑$8.47s, then a steady grind back toward $8.75–$8.79, suggesting short-term stabilization but not a confirmed reversal.

1) Trend & Market Structure (Multi-timeframe)

Daily structure

Primary trend: Bearish (lower highs / lower lows since early Jan; acceleration lower into Feb 5).
Key pivot points (daily):
- Major breakdown zone: ~$10.10 (Feb 1 close) to ~$11.00 (Jan 30 close). This area is now overhead supply.
- Recent capitulation / impulse low: Feb 5 low ~$8.27 with extreme volume (840M) → classic “sell climax” candidate.
- Post-climax bounce: Feb 6 high ~9.44 then price faded back toward ~8.75.
Interpretation: After a sell climax, markets often enter a base-building range (sideways-to-slightly-up) before either a larger reversal or continuation. Current price action fits early basing rather than trend reversal.

Hourly structure

Hourly candles show a recovery sequence from ~8.54–8.56 back to ~8.75–8.79.
However, multiple failures/hesitations near 8.84–8.94 (seen around 14:00 high 8.843 and earlier 03:00–04:00 highs near 8.93) indicates near-term resistance.

Conclusion (structure): Long-term bearish, short-term attempting to form a base; best edge is mean reversion bounce within a range, not trend-following shorts at current support.

2) Support / Resistance Mapping (Price Action)

Support (where buyers likely defend)

S1: $8.68–$8.70 (hourly congestion; multiple touches)
S2: $8.54–$8.56 (intraday base area; several hourly lows)
S3 (critical): $8.47–$8.50 (today’s low area)
S4 (swing / capitulation): $8.27–$8.30 (Feb 5 low zone)

Resistance (where sellers likely reappear)

R1: $8.79–$8.85 (repeated intraday rejection zone)
R2: $8.92–$8.95 (intraday spike highs)
R3: $9.05–$9.10 (recent daily closes ~9.09 on Feb 8; round-number memory)
R4: $9.27–$9.44 (Feb 6 rebound zone; heavy supply likely)

Implication: Risk/reward currently favors buying dips near support with targets into R1–R3, rather than selling into support.

3) Momentum & Rate-of-Change (Practical read from swings)

Down-leg into Feb 5 was sharp (9.71 → 8.30 approx), then a strong reflex bounce (8.30 → 9.27), then a pullback/retention above the capitulation low.
This sequence often indicates:
- Bear momentum is cooling (no immediate lower-low follow-through so far)
- Short-covering + bargain bids are present

For the next 24h, the more probable path is range expansion upward toward nearby resistances unless $8.47 fails quickly.

4) Volume & “Event Candle” Logic (Climax / Absorption)

Feb 5 volume (840M) is a clear outlier vs surrounding days → often signals capitulation.
Subsequent days did not break materially below that low, suggesting absorption (strong hands taking supply).
Feb 11 volume (~301M) is also healthy; closing green-ish vs Feb 10 hints at demand returning.

Volume conclusion: Supports a short-term bullish bias (bounce/basing), but not enough to flip the higher-timeframe trend bullish.

5) Volatility & Range Expectations (ATR-style reasoning)

Recent daily ranges are large (e.g., Feb 6: ~1.74 range; Feb 5: ~1.52 range). Even Feb 11 range is ~0.45.
This implies a 24h expectation of continued wide swings, making precise market entries suboptimal; limit entries at supports are preferable.

6) Pattern Recognition

Potential base / accumulation range: roughly $8.30–$9.30 since Feb 5.
No confirmed reversal pattern (no clear daily higher-high sequence; overhead supply remains heavy).
Most likely near-term pattern outcome: sideways-to-up drift toward the upper band of the range.

7) 24-Hour Price Movement Forecast (Scenario-based)

Base case (most likely): mild bullish mean reversion

Price holds above $8.54–$8.47 and pushes toward $8.85, then tests $9.05–$9.10.
Expected 24h zone: $8.55 to $9.10.

Bull case: stronger short-covering extension

Break and hold above $8.95, then run toward $9.25–$9.35.

Bear case: support failure / continuation

Lose $8.47 → quick move toward $8.30, and if panic returns, a wick toward $8.10–$8.00.

Probability-weighted tilt: Slightly bullish over the next 24h (bounce within a bearish larger trend).

Decision (Trade Bias)

Buy (Long position) — but only optimally on a pullback into support to control risk, because the larger trend is still bearish and resistance overhead is dense.

Trade Plan (based on current price $8.7531)

Optimal Open (Buy Limit): $8.62 (near intraday support band; improves R/R versus buying at $8.75)
Take Profit / Close Price: $9.08 (tests the $9.05–$9.10 resistance; realistic within 24h in the base case)

(If price never pulls back to $8.62, the setup is skipped—chasing at $8.75 reduces edge into resistance at $8.85–$8.95.)
