the $1.20 support level.<\/p>\n<p>The AXS price ticked up amid heightened trader activity, with the intraday surge pushing the cryptocurrency towards the top 100 by market capitalization.<\/p>\n<p>However, with sentiment across the market still fragile, the big question is whether the upward move signals renewed bullish momentum or merely a fleeting \u201cdead cat bounce\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is Axie Infinity price up today?<\/h2>\n<p>AXS is among the top altcoin gainers with double-digit advances on February 9, 2026, posting gains that outpace all top 10 coins by market cap.<\/p>\n<p>This outperformance coincides with Bitcoin\u2019s steady hold above $70,000, bolstered by fresh institutional buying such as Binance\u2019s acquisition of 4,225 BTC as it looks to convert its $1 billion SAFU Fund into BTC.<\/p>\n<p>While the buying, much like Strategy\u2019s (formerly known as MicoStrategy) BTC purchase over the past weeks, has not triggered bulls, stability has benefited small altcoins.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, trader interest in AXS has also spiked following recent announcements from Sky Mavis, the developer behind Axie Infinity, regarding the rollout of bAXS.<\/p>\n<p>The token offers in-ecosystem utility as well as staking and gameplay rewards, and bulls have shown excitement since the news.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What is bAXS and what can you do with it?<\/p>\n<p>bAXS will do the same things as AXS: Use it to ascend, evolve, and breed axies. <\/p>\n<p>Spend it in-game, forge new items on App.axie, and more. <\/p>\n<p>Over time, we\u2019ll also distribute most rewards in bAXS. <\/p>\n<p>The difference between both tokens is\u2026 <a

before plummeting sharply amid last week\u2019s market bloodbath.<\/p>\n<p>The intraday gains of over 15% has therefore emboldened bulls, who targeted strength above $1.50.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanied by a 250% spike in trading volume, AXS rose to above $1.56 as of writing.<\/p>\n<p>The 4-hour chart shows a potential falling wedge breakout, with the RSI and MACD signaling room for more gains.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_360723\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-360723\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"

impending bAXS airdrop, also saw bears retest the downtrend line from above $4.54.<\/p>\n<p>Losses may mean fleeting gains or what analysts call a \u201cdead cat bounce\u201d scenario.<\/p>\n<p>The outlook of the RSI on the 4-hour chart suggests fresh selling may strengthen this prospect.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, a breakdown below the pivotal $1.20 support could accelerate downside momentum, potentially driving AXS toward lows of $0.80.<\/p>\n<p>Prior accumulation zones sit here and might offer relief.<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, a decisive close above $1.60 could invalidate the short-term bearish setup and allow buyers to test horizontal resistance near $3.00.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this
