Avalanche In ‘Healthy’ Retreat, Potential Rebound Looms

AVAX, the native token of the Avalanche protocol, presented a mixed experience for investors in the month of March. The altcoin initially rose by over 64% to trade above $65 for the first time since May 2022 before declining by 18.44% in the last two weeks. 

Unsurprisingly, AVAX’s price movement has drawn much attention from investors and market experts alike. Notably, a popular crypto analyst with the X handle Rekt Capital has advised against panic, stating the recent decline of the altcoin could prove to be rather beneficial for investors.

AVAX To Return To $65-$70 Price Zone, Analyst Stands Confident

In a post on X on March 30, Rekt Capital shared that AVAX has suffered an overall decline since encountering the $65-$70 price zone in mid-March. However, the analyst has described this price drop as a “healthy dip,” which could result in the token returning to previously high levels.

Currently, AVAX trades in the range of $52-$54, but Rekt Capital predicts the altcoin is heading to the region of $44-$49, which represents its highest price points recorded in December 2023. On entering this price zone, Rekt Capital expects the token to find support and embark on an uptrend back to the $65-$70 region. 

However, in the presence of overwhelming bearish pressure, the analyst technical analysis revealed that AVAX could drop further to around $32.66, indicating a potential price decline of 39.62% and 49.9% from the coin’s current price and its peak price in March, respectively 

Avalanche (AVAX) Price Overview 

At the time of writing, AVAX trades around $53.50 with no significant price movement in the last day, while recording a 0.51% decline over the past week based on data from CoinMarketCap. Meanwhile, the crypto asset’s trading volume is down by 16.62% and valued at $370.86 million. 

However, AVAX has generally been one of best best-performing assets in the last six months boasting a market gain of 471.35% within this period. Notably, in December 2023, the altcoin rose by about 150% to move from $20.41 to a monthly high of $49.98.

Off the market, AVAX has also scored some positive strides. Most recently, the Avalanche network announced a collaboration with fellow blockchain Chainlink and the prestigious Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) targeted at exploring the use of crypto assets in global financial settlement systems. The use of AVAX in such a project would largely amplify the token’s adoption, which would elicit a positive effect on its market price.
