Axie Infinity (AXS) maintains an impressive upward momentum with an additional 8% increase, trading steadily above the $2.56 mark at the time of recording on Thursday, extending a streak of over 37% gains for the week. The upward drive is further supported by increasingly strong accumulation activity from “whales.” From a technical perspective, the bulls are in control of the trend, raising expectations that AXS will soon break higher price levels, aiming for the above $3 region.
Whale Supply Accumulation Volume Increases
Supply distribution data from Santiment strongly supports the bullish outlook for Axie Infinity, amid signs of accelerated accumulation activity by “whales.”
Specifically, large wallet groups holding 100,000 – 1 million AXS (red line), 1 – 10 million AXS (yellow line), and 10 – 100 million AXS (green line) purchased a total of 100.56 million tokens from January 12 to Thursday, indicating growing confidence from major institutional and individual investors.

From a technical standpoint, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily timeframe is at 79, indicating overbought conditions and reflecting strong bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD also signals positive momentum with a bullish cross (crossing upward), with expanding histogram bars, further supporting short-term bullish prospects.
