Avalanche [AVAX] price performance was massively boosted after Ripple Labs’ win around mid-July. However, the euphoria dissipated after the win, prompting altcoins to reverse the gains. So far, AVAX has dropped from $16 and hit a crucial confluence area and bullish zone near $13.

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

The price rejection at $16 saw short-sellers gain market entry, exposing AVAX to depreciate toward $13. Notably, the overall price action during the recovery from mid-June chalked an ascending channel pattern.
The recent pullback has hit the range-low of the channel at $13.3. Interestingly, the range-low is in a confluence area with a bullish order block (OB) of $12.9 – $13.4 (cyan).
So, the confluence area could be a strong bullish zone only if BTC doesn’t register sharp losses in the next few days. The immediate targets will be the mid-range near $14.5 or the range-high of $15.5.
But a drop below the confluence zone ($13) will expose AVAX to a likely retest of $12, especially if BTC drops 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 denotes a stagnated buying pressure and demand ahead of the Fed decision.
