Since the market knows of this event, its impact on the price might not be notable or immediate. In the past, this event has been accompanied by a downtrend in prices. If this were to repeat, AVAX could lose the psychological $10 level.
On the 2-hour chart, AVAX formed a series of lower highs and lower lows in the past week to denote a downtrend. The Fibonacci levels (yellow) showed that the price was near the local low at $9.99 once more. It could bounce as high as $11.93 before another drop, although the evidence for such a bounce was not present.

Hence the likely path was a retest of the $10.5 resistance before a move to $9.41, the 23.6% extension level. The $10.15 and $10 levels highlighted in orange were extremely important. They represented low of 2023 thus far, and a demand zone in June and July 2021. $10.5 was also critical, and AVAX bulls have not put up a strong fight at these levels.
The RSI on the H2 chart outlined strong bearish momentum. The OBV continued to slide lower and the CMF showed sizeable capital outflow from the Avalanche market with a reading of -0.19. Therefore, a move below $10 and a subsequent retest could offer a shorting opportunity.
While the price has been in decline, it saw a tiny bounce from $10.27 to $10.4 on 21 August. It was accompanied by a growth in the Open Interest that amounted to $2 million worth of contracts.

It was unclear if this came from bears building short positions below the $10.5 level or from early bulls.
The spot CVD showed clear selling pressure in the past few days. Alongside the OBV it was on a downtrend. The evidence at hand showed further losses were likely for AVAX, but a bounce to $11 can’t be discounted.
