The steep fall in AVAX’s value comes amid a substantial selloff reported by ZachXBT, a well-known crypto analyst. According to ZachXBT, an entity using the wallet address “0x327…94f30” transferred about 1.96 million AVAX tokens, valued at $54.2 million, to various cryptocurrency exchanges including Coinbase, Binance, and Gate. These transactions, facilitated by cross-chain bridges such as THORChain, have exerted significant downward pressure on the price of AVAX, resulting in a sudden 10% drop.

At the time of writing, Avalanche is trading at $25.20, with a market cap of $9.92 billion. Despite the price decline, AVAX’s daily trading volume has surged by over 109%, reaching $509 million. This increased trading activity highlights the market’s heightened response to the recent selloff.

Can Avalanche (AVAX) Price Bounce Back?

If the downward trend persists, AVAX may fall further to a critical support level of $23. A breach of this level could push the price down to $20, a value last seen in November 2023. Such a drop could potentially trigger further declines, with the price possibly sinking to $18.43.

Conversely, if Avalanche can maintain its current price of around $25, it might initiate a new upward trend toward $28. Reaching this level could pave the way for further gains, potentially climbing to $30. A sustained rally could stabilize AVAX around $35, with the possibility of advancing the range to $40 and even $50 in the longer term.
