Price action eased to a bullish confluence area.
More long positions were liquidated as sellers posted more profits.
Avalanche [AVAX] price performance was greatly boosted thereafter Ripple Labs’ win around mid-July. However, the euphoria dissipated after the victory, causing altcoins to reverse the gains. So far, AVAX is down from $16 and reached a crucial confluence area and bullish zone near $13.

In the meantime, Bitcoin [BTC] struggled to close above $30,000 ahead of the Fed decision on July 25/26.
If BTC takes more losses after the Fed decision, AVAX’s bullish zone could be invalidated. However, bulls could get a reprieve if BTC defends the $29.5k after the Fed’s announcement.
Will the confluence area hold?

The $16 price rejection allowed short sellers to enter the market, exposing AVAX to depreciation to $13. In particular, the overall price action during the recovery from mid-June created a bullish channel pattern.
The recent pullback has hit the channel’s low range at $13.3. Interestingly, the range low is in a confluence area with a bullish order block (OB) at $12.9 – $13.4 (cyan).
Thus, the confluence area could only be a strong bullish zone if BTC does not register sharp losses in the coming days. The immediate targets will be the mid range near $14.5 or the high range near $15.5.
But a drop below the confluency zone ($13) will expose AVAX to a likely $12 retest, especially if BTC falls lower after the Fed decision.
Meanwhile, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) retreated and rested at the neutral level while the OBV (On Balance Volume) moved sideways. It indicates stagnant buying pressure and demand ahead of the Fed decision.
