Bullish whispers or mirages?
The future of AVAX remains shrouded in uncertainty. While there are some positive signs, such as relative outperformance and pockets of bullish sentiment, they are countered by worrying metrics such as diminishing market control and a significant decline in trading activity.
Avalanche: Resistance levels loom large
A look at the six-month chart of AVAX reveals a volatile ride, marked by sharp peaks and troughs. This volatility highlights AVAX's susceptibility to broader market trends and its dependence on specific developments within its ecosystem.
Over the past few months, AVAX has shown a pattern of rising prices followed by equally sharp corrections. Right now, the altcoin appears to be consolidating around the $38 mark after the recent decline from its April highs.
If AVAX can hold support around the crucial $35 level, there is potential for a path north, especially if a broader uptrend materializes in the cryptocurrency market.
However, significant resistance awaits us at $48 and $53 – price points that AVAX has repeatedly tested and failed to clear in recent months. A sustained break above these levels would signal a major shift in momentum, which could push AVAX towards the $80 or even $100 mark by Q3.
A tale of two markets: where do traders stand?
