Key Takeaways
  • AVAX’s price has dropped below $10 after failing to extend its recent rally.
  • The weekly AVAX chart shows mixed signals, with no clear direction yet.
  • The daily chart reveals that the AVAX price will likely slide lower in the short term.

Avalanche (AVAX) is showing signs that its earlier rally has run out of the conviction needed to sustain higher levels.

The post-rally momentum is fading. Selling pressure is reasserting itself.

And the structural vulnerabilities that the brief recovery temporarily obscured are re-emerging with sufficient clarity that $7.

Is now a credible downside destination that demands serious analytical attention.

AVAX Weekly Chart Crushed

Avalanche has been crushed, and the weekly chart shows just how deep the damage runs.

At press time, AVAX trades at $9.26. From the December 2024 peak near $54, AVAX has shed over 82%.

The descent accelerated after October 2025, when a brief rally to $36 failed and a descending triangle formed.

However, the horizontal support finally broke, and AVAX’s price collapsed into the $9 zone. For context, the last time the altcoin reached this level was around 2023.

Both EMAs loom far overhead as heavy resistance. The 20 EMA sits at $12.19 and the 50 EMA at $17.24, creating a substantial wall that any recovery must eventually overcome.

Currently, AVAX price is hugging a dotted horizontal support near $8.69.

The MACD on the weekly paints a deeply concerning backdrop. The MACD line at -3.03 and the signal at -3.17 are both deeply negative.

However, the histogram has produced its first green bar in months, hinting that bearish momentum may be very gradually exhausting.

That single green histogram bar is the most encouraging signal available. Historically, on weekly timeframes, momentum exhaustion precedes recovery by several weeks.

Nevertheless, AVAX’s price needs to reclaim $12.19 before any bull case becomes credible. But as it stands, it could be challenging.

AVAX Price Outlook: No Rebound

On the daily chart at Coinbase, AVAX dropped 4.24% to $9.26 today.

This happened as it pressed directly against the lower boundary of a rising channel that has defined the recovery since February’s lows.

The structure formed cleanly. After bottoming near $7.53 in early February, AVAX’s price carved out a rising channel, making consistently higher lows throughout the month.

That channel pushed price toward a high near $10.80 by mid-March.

However, the rally stalled beneath the 0.382 Fibonacci level at $10.37. Now, today’s red candle tests the channel’s lower trendline near $9.20.

The Parabolic SAR at $10.10 is above the price, providing bearish confirmation. Therefore, a daily close below $9 would break the channel entirely and expose the $7.53 absolute low.

In the meantime, the RSI generated a bullish divergence signal in early February, which launched the recovery rally.

Now at 46.14 and declining, it hasn’t triggered a fresh divergence yet.

Meanwhile, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) reads -0.09, marginally negative and hovering near the zero line.

Sellers maintain a slim edge, but the reading is far from the extreme negativity seen during February’s capitulation.

Holding the channel bottom is everything. Lose $9, and the recovery thesis collapses entirely.
