Avalanche is trading within a range from $65.5 to $98.8. The mid-point of this channel lies at $82 and is a zone of resistance over the next few hours.

The Stochastic RSI dipped into oversold territory and looked to be on the verge of forming a bullish crossover.
Over the next few hours, the $78-$78.5 area could be revisited in search of demand. This could be a buying opportunity, with a stop-loss beneath the $76.8 support level.
