Avalanche support at $9.76 comes into focus amid ongoing technical weakness: weekly outlook
Institutional flows remain a focal point as Avalanche (AVAX) holds near $10 after a pullback of nearly 8% over the past week. The ongoing decline stretches into oversold territory, spotlighting whether increased demand from major players can counter persistent technical pressure in the days ahead.
Highlights
- Avalanche trades at $10.31, dropping $0.89 or 7.99% over the past week with elevated volatility at 20.18%.
- The price structure remains bullish long term, but current downside pressure keeps Avalanche below key resistance at $10.89.
- In the coming week, Avalanche is expected to stay between $9.26 and $11.35, with a 59% probability of an increase.
Tokenized treasury surge and ETF inflows drive AVAX sentiment this week
Real-world asset tokenization expanded sharply on the AVAX network, with tokenized U.S. Treasury assets reaching around $545 million — a fourfold increase year-over-year according to NewsBTC. Avalanche led all blockchains with $266 million in new inflows over the past 30 days, while institutional adoption progressed through continued spot ETF and related fund activity such as a $268,000 U.S.-listed ETF inflow on October 1, reported by CryptoTicker. Secondary support comes from technical and protocol improvements, including the recent Helicon upgrade and record onchain credit activity in Q3 2026 as per CryptoBriefing.
Technical reversal risk grows as MACD-buy and oversold RSI diverge
On the daily chart, the setup is defined by a sustained move lower with a firm trend, highlighted by elevated weekly volatility of 20.18%. The MACD signals a strong buy, while Stochastic RSI sits deeply in the oversold zone at 0, pointing to potential for a near-term reversal. However, these signals are in opposition, with downside pressure still evident as the price holds below resistance at $10.89. Key support is established at $9.76, reinforced by the Ichimoku Kijun at $9.59, which could help stabilize pullbacks.
Rangebound base case holds as breakout risks hinge on $9.76 and $10.89
In the week ahead, Avalanche is expected to trade between $9.26 and $11.35, with a 59% probability of an increase and a 41% probability of a decrease. The base case is for the price to stay rangebound between the $9.76 support and $10.89 resistance. A bullish move above $10.89 could open the way toward the upper end of the forecast range, while a decisive drop below $9.76 would shift focus to further downside risk near $9.26.
Earlier, analysts noted that Avalanche faced persistent short-term selling pressure despite robust growth in its tokenized asset sector and increasing institutional involvement. The current analysis further develops this outlook by highlighting intensified institutional flows and protocol upgrades, with the $9.76 support now emerging as a critical level to watch for signs of stabilization or breakdown in the near term.
