Massive Unlocking Event Approaches For AXS: Hike on the Horizon?
  • Token Unlocks revealed that ASX worth more than $21 million will be unlocked in the next two days.
  • Historically, unlock events have caused the price of AXS to rise.
  • A significant medium-term bullish technical flag was on the verge of being triggered on AXS’ daily chart.

The tokenomics tracking dashboard, Token Unlocks, shared on Twitter earlier today that a huge unlocking event is on the horizon for Axie Infinity (AXS). According to the post, AXS is set to unlock 2.96% of its supply in just two days, which will likely be worth more than $21.8 million.

The magnitude of the unlocking event is impressive on its own, but it is also worth noting that over the past 5 token unlocks, AXS’s price rose during each unlocking period, according to Token Unlocks. There was, however, a downtrend shortly after the unlocking event took place.

From a technical perspective, indicators suggested that AXS may enter into a medium-term bullish cycle as the 20-day EMA line was looking to break above the 50-day EMA line. Should these two technical indicators cross, it may result in the cryptocurrency’s price flipping the next major resistance level at $6.74 into support.

On the other hand, if AXS closes today’s daily candle below the 9-day EMA line at $6.30, then it may be at risk of falling to the crucial support at $6.18 in the coming 48 hours. This price correction may be temporary, however, as the 9-day EMA line was positioned above both the 20-day and 50-day EMA lines — this suggests the presence of bullish momentum.

With regards to what the altcoin has been doing in the short-term, CoinMarketCap indicated that its price was able to climb by 0.13% over the past 24 hours of trading.
