Axie Infinity’s Bullish Metrics

While market heavyweights like Bitcoin have experienced a slowdown, AXS defied odds, consistently staying above the crucial $5 mark. This exceptional performance has turned heads in the crypto community, with many attributing this success to a combination of factors.

Recent data from Santiment highlights that Axie Infinity is buzzing with activity. There’s been a notable rise in large, ‘whale’ transactions since October 27th, with over nine of these, each valued above $100,000, occurring on October 30th alone.

Simultaneously, the game’s development activity surged, instilling further confidence in potential investors. This heightened activity hasn’t gone unnoticed on social media, either, leading to an uptick in conversations surrounding Axie Infinity. The platform’s social volume reached its monthly zenith recently, as reported by Santiment.

As of this report, AXS is priced at $5.85, marking a nearly 16% increase in 24 hours. For Axie Infinity to keep up its bullish trend, it’s imperative for AXS to consistently close above the $6 benchmark. Slipping below could see it testing the $4.95 support.
