AVX Price Drops Despite Network Strength

Despite the growing on-chain activity, the Avalanche token (AVAX) continues to struggle. On Jan. 19, AVAX saw a major price drop amid a broader crypto market downturn. At the time of writing, AVAX is trading around $12.59, down by 7.5% over the past day.

Notably, AVAX has been trending lower after surging above $35 in September last year. Since then, the token’s market cap has fallen by about $9.44 billion and currently sits near $5.43 billion. AVAX is now ranked 20th by market cap.

Sharp Move Ahead?

Momentum readings show AVAX at its weakest level since the 2022-2023 bear market low. Historically, such periods lead to late-stage sell pressure and a potential sharp move if risk conditions turn.

On the daily chart, AVAX is trading below the mid Bollinger Band (20-day SMA). Price recently tagged the lower band near $12, a zone where short-term selling pressure surges. If the token fails to hold $12, it could risk a drop toward $10.50.

Meanwhile, RSI is below neutral but not yet extreme. A price increase above $13.80 could lead the token to the upper Bollinger Band around $15. If AVAX manages to close above $16, it would confirm a trend reversal and potential price rally.
