Highlights

  • Avalanche failed to hold the $16–$17 support range, triggering sustained selling pressure as exchange inflows confirm ongoing negative momentum.
  • Technical signals remain broadly bearish in the short term, with sellers maintaining control of AVAX's price action and downside risk prevailing.
  • Traders are closely monitoring the asset for stability at lower support levels, which may offer only a temporary pause from continued declines.

Sustained selling pressure as failed support triggers negative flows

Avalanche has recently failed to maintain support in the $16–$17 region, leading to sustained selling pressure as exchange inflows reflect negative momentum. The current technical environment is broadly bearish, with sellers dominating the short-term trend. Traders are paying attention to whether the asset can stabilize at new support levels, which could bring a temporary respite from downside risk.

Mixed momentum signals as downside risk meets easing volatility

Momentum indicators remain mixed: the daily MACD signals strong downside risk while ADX confirms an ongoing bearish trend, though both are showing early signs of stabilization. Oscillators present conflicting signals — RSI is declining toward bearish territory, Stoch RSI is extremely overbought, and CCI is sitting near neutral. Bull/Bear Power reflects intraday buyer interest, consistent with the asset's modest daily gain, but low volatility and sideways trading dominate following the open as the price remains near the midpoint of today's range ($12.50 – $12.72).

Further declines favored as resistance caps low-probability upside

Over the next five trading days, AVAX is expected to trade within a typical volatility band between $11.93 and $12.37, with prevailing weekly momentum making a further decline much more likely and the chance of an upside move lingering below 20%. The base case sees the price moving sideways beneath key resistance, while a bullish scenario would require a sustained break above $13.05 and a bearish scenario unfolds on a move below $11.93 support.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Avalanche stabilizing in the short term despite persistent bearish pressure on the weekly chart. He notes that sentiment remains negative, driven by recent failed supports and ongoing exchange inflows. The analyst believes any recovery will require a solid move above $13.05, but the risk of further declines is still present. "If momentum shifts and AVAX reclaims resistance, I expect sentiment to turn quickly and buyers to step in with renewed confidence."

Previously it was reported that Avalanche (AVAX) reversed sharply after failing to sustain gains above key resistance, with price action falling below clustered moving averages and nearing a crucial support pivot. Technical structure has shifted to neutral-bearish as RSI approaches oversold levels, with the absence of bullish divergence and downside risks increasing unless AVAX reclaims the $12.60–$12.70 range.
