The quote came from Binance’s AVAX/USDT spot market at 9:10 a.m. ET (13:10 UTC) on Oct. 20. AVAX had touched $9.39 earlier in the session and remained below the previous UTC day’s $9.61 close. The retreat followed a sharp change in direction last week. After [an Oct. 14 slide]() left AVAX at $9.95, the token fell to $9.34 on Oct. 15, then rose to $10.52 on Oct. 16. Tuesday’s $9.47 quote was below both the Oct. 16 high and the prior day’s close. A calculation using that quote and the preceding 19 daily closes placed the lower Bollinger Band near $9.22 and the 20-day midpoint near $10.43. AVAX stood about 25 cents above the lower band.
