Yearn.Finance Price Forecast: YFI’s odds of a major sell-off have increased considerably

• Yearn.Finance price remains contained inside an ascending parallel channel on the daily chart.
• The digital asset is on the verge of a significant sell-off if key support level breaks.
• On the flip side, there are significantly more YFI whales now. 

Yearn.Finance recently topped out at $52,880 before a huge sell-off down to $28,319 fueled by the overall market weakness. However, the digital asset could be poised for even more downside if bulls can’t hold a critical support level on the daily chart.

Yearn.Finance price on the brink of a crash

On the daily chart, YFI bulls must defend the critical support trendline at $31,600 which is the lower boundary of an ascending parallel channel to avoid a massive drop. A breakdown below this point can quickly drive Yearn.Finance price down to $25,000.

On the other hand, the number of YFI whales holding between 100 and 1,000 coins ($3,100,000 and $31,000,000) has grown by 20 since February 10, denoting a significant increase in interest on the digital asset.
