However, it is important to note that the trader’s gain was not a cue to buy AXL. Currently, the announcement has made the token very volatile. Therefore, it is likely that AXL might experience high price fluctuations and unexpected price swings.
Axelar (AXL) Price Prediction for the Short Term
Coin Edition analyzed the token from a technical perspective. The Bollinger Bands (BB) on the 4-hour AXL/USDT chart confirmed the high volatility around the cryptocurrency. Furthermore, the BB indicated that AXL was overbought as the upper band touched the price of around $2.51.
Typically, this position is supposed to bring down the price. However, extreme price swings suggest that the token could move either way. In a highly bullish situation, AXL’s price could rise as high as $4. But that would require very high buying pressure.
On the other hand, selling pressure could force the price down to $1.50. Like the BB, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also confirmed that AXL was overbought.
In addition, Coinglass data showed that Axelar’s Open Interest hit $7.88 million, the first time it had done that this year. The increase in Open Interest suggests that traders in the derivatives market were opening more positions linked to the token.
If the Open Interest continues to rise alongside AXL’s price, the value might climb higher. But a decrease in Open Interest could foreshadow a price decrease.
For the unfamiliar, Axelar is a Web3 inter-scale interoperability platform that aims to scale the next generation of internet users. Beyond the price increase, AXL’s trading volume also surged to mind-blowing levels, indicating high interest in the cryptocurrency.
