Technical Analysis

• The price action formed a clear uptrend with higher lows establishing support at $18.03, while significant volume spikes at the $17.40 and $18.07 levels confirmed strong buyer interest.

• A notable resistance zone emerged around $18.47-$18.50, where profit-taking occurred after the initial surge, though the asset maintained most of its gains and appears poised for further upside if it can break through this level with sustained volume.

• In the last 60 minutes, AVAX exhibited notable volatility with a clear downtrend, falling from $18.24 to $18.19, representing a 0.28% decline.

• The asset experienced significant price swings, reaching a high of $18.64 before encountering strong selling pressure that drove prices down to $18.14.

• A brief recovery attempt formed with three consecutive green candles, but this rally failed at resistance, confirming the bearish sentiment that has dominated the latter part of the session.
