Dubbed as “double bottom,” the pattern appears when the price establishes a support level, rebounds, corrects after finding a resistance level, pulls back toward the previous support and bounces back toward the resistance level to pursue a breakout. Since May 27, AVAX’s price trends appear like those typically witnessed during the double bottom formation. Specifically, the AVAX/USD pair on the four-hour chart has bounced twice after testing the same support level near $22.25, and now eyes a breakout above its resistance level — also called “neckline” — near $27.50.

Ether’s price swung between profits and losses on May 2 while trading around $2,825, showing indecisiveness among traders about their next bias.
