In their efforts to ease down the sell-off situation, the buyers finally managed to flip the three-month trendline resistance to support (white, dashed). After the recent retracement pulling down the price towards its February lows, Axie Infinity (AXS) marked a down-channel (yellow) on the 4-hour timeframe.
