Nonetheless, MACD is displaying an incomplete bullish divergence which puts the bulls at an advantage.  Although below 50, RSI is also on the rise and is at 47 .in response to buying pressure

The coin is currently trading at a critical level. The $3,200 served as a critical support where the bulls built demand concentration previously. Since losing it, the bears are staging selloff around the mark. Flipping and gaining stability above the said mark will result in an attempt at $3,400.

4. Avalanche (AVAX)

Avalanche experienced significant price increases over the last seven days. As a result, it is up by over 15% over this period.

Using the Fibonacci retracement to draw up support and resistance, the coin will look to gain stability above $39 and attempt $40 within the next five days. However, RSI is on the downtrend and at 43, placing the bears at an advantage and hinting at mounting selling pressure.

Fibonacci retracement is hinting at a possible drop to $33. This will happen if the bulls fail to defend the $36 support.
