Avalanche (AVAX): Is this the final bullish price breakout?
- The price of the Layer 1 ecosystem Avalanche (AVAX) has gained seven percent in the last 24 trading hours, making it one of the strongest price performers among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies.
- Yesterday's announcement by Avalanche DAO that it intends to build a multi-billion dollar treasury is likely to have provided significant tailwind for the AVAX share price.
- Week-on-week, Avalanche is also showing its bullish side with a 16 percent price increase and jumping to a fresh multi-month high of $29.99.
- Although the AVAX price is still trading around 35 percent below its yearly high despite the recent price breakout, the breakout above the strong resistance area at $26.42 offers room for further price increases.
- In the short term, Avalanche needs to establish itself above this key level and subsequently break out of the $30 area. This would then open up room to stabilize into the next target zone between $32.86 and $34.43.
- If the AVAX price can subsequently overcome this area, a move toward the next relevant target area between $40.22 and $41.41 is conceivable. This zone served as a technical pivot point several times at the beginning of the year.
- If the bulls manage to recapture this level despite increased profit-taking, the area around the yearly high of $44.49 would come into investor focus.
- This will determine whether Avalanche can develop enough price momentum to reach the maximum price target of $50.02 for the coming trading months.
- However, if the AVAX price fails to sustainably break above the $29.50 mark in the coming days, a retest of yesterday's breakout level at $26.42 should be expected. Buyers must stabilize the price there to confirm the bullish market structure shift.
- A fall below this area would be considered a false breakout and could push Avalanche back towards the monthly low of $23.12.
- If the price fails to find support here and continues to trend southward in the wake of renewed weakness in the crypto market, a retest of the low of August 4 cannot be ruled out. This support level currently serves as the maximum correction target on the downside.
