Tokenized stock inflows surge following blockchain upgrades and new partnerships

Avalanche implemented the Helicon upgrade to its mainnet on September 22, introducing changes to staking economics and C-Chain execution, which aim to improve validator and application experiences. The blockchain attracted $131.2 million in tokenized stock inflows over a single week, leading the sector in this activity. Additional underlying demand is supported by AVAX’s role as transaction gas in real-world asset applications and strengthened by new ecosystem partnerships such as with Dinari and Progmat.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Avalanche's recent gains as driven more by headlines and network activity than by sustainable fundamentals. He points to persistent mixed technical signals, especially with the longer-term trend still bearish. The apparent inflows into tokenized assets are impressive, but he questions their longevity without more robust utility adoption. He cautions that momentum oscillators now flash overbought conditions and sees considerable risk if support at $11 breaks. In his view, "Traders should be cautious near resistance and avoid chasing hype-driven moves in AVAX at current levels."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes Avalanche's Helicon upgrade and strong inflows into tokenized assets are setting a new precedent in blockchain adoption. He highlights the platform's unique partnerships and its expanding role in real-world asset tokenization as key drivers for further institutional interest. Karapetjanc sees the bullish structure intact, supported by positive sentiment and macro tailwinds in digital asset integration. He expects continued upward momentum if AVAX holds above $11. "With strong fundamentals and an improving ecosystem, I see scope for AVAX to outperform in the coming days," he says.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes that Avalanche is riding a wave of renewed optimism fueled by recent upgrades and news-driven inflows. He observes that short-term trading signals are mixed, with price action hovering near key resistance as technical and sentiment-based indicators diverge. Turakhiya notes that volatility remains elevated, presenting both breakout and fade opportunities for nimble traders. "Given the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, I recommend watching for a decisive move above $11.4 or a quick retreat toward $10.31," he advises.

Resistance challenges momentum as mixed signals emerge at session highs

AVAX/USD is trading above the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages ($9.14, $7.94, and $8.05 respectively), which signals bullish short-, medium-, and long-term momentum. Immediate resistance sits at $11.4, and near-term support is at $11. Ichimoku Kijun at $9.47 and all moving averages confirm the prevailing upward trend structure, although the overall longer-term alignment remains bearish. Momentum readings are mixed: MACD and ADX indicate a buy, the RSI at 64.46 is moderately elevated, and the CCI also shows a buy. Bull/Bear Power at 0.94 confirms strong intraday buyer dominance but also points to overbought intraday conditions. Stochastic RSI is neutral-to-bearish at 45.95, signaling a sell, while the Awesome Oscillator is neutral and HMA shows a sell signal. The session saw the price gain $0.86, staying near the daily high with volatility amplitude at 6.38%. Despite the strength toward session highs, momentum signals remain discordant.

Earlier, analysts noted that Avalanche was under short- and medium-term downside pressure despite support from protocol upgrades and ecosystem developments. The current outlook signals a shift to bullish momentum, but given divergent oscillator readings, traders should closely monitor the $11.4 resistance as a potential inflection point for AVAX/USD in the coming sessions.
