Axie Infinity Price Skyrockets To $140, AXS Is Boosted As Facebook Rebrands to Meta

Axie Infinity price skyrocketed to areas above $155 as the AXS reacted to the news that Facebook was rebranding to Meta. A rise above the immediate resistance around $150 could see AXS rise to tag new highs.

Facebook’s announcement on October 28 that it was rebranding to Meta was an affirmation of its ambitions to go beyond online social media to build a metaverse. These news triggered a speculative rally cross NFT and Gaming cryptos in the Metaverse.

Decentraland (MANA) jumped by as much as 80% between October 28 and October 29 with its market valuation exploding from $1.44 billion to over $2.08 billion in just 24 hours.

AXS, a native token to Axie Infnity, a Pokemon-styled “play-to-earn” pet training game and virtual world also rallied by as much as 22.5% to hit a two-week high above $160. AXS is Axie marketplace’s legal tender where players use it to purchase digital pets (in-game NFTS).

Axie Infinity Price Takes A Breather Above $140

Axie Infinity rallied over 39% from a low of $117 on October 28 to a high of $163 on October 29. This rally was rejected by the $150 resistance level which has since seen the AXS price correct to the current price around $142.

AXS is trading with a bearish bias above $140 and slip below this level could see it lose the recent bullish momentum to tumble towards the $125 support wall.

A slip below this could see a safe haven at the demand zone between $108 and $114 shown by the green band.
