Highlights
In a bold statement that has caught the attention of the crypto community, a top trader has revealed that he is prepared to swap his Solana holdings for Avalanche if a key signal appears on the AVAX chart. With both Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) being two of the most popular layer-1 blockchain platforms, this potential trade highlights the growing competition and volatility in the crypto market.
The price of AVAX today is $28.65, up 2.8% in the last 24 hours. AVAX had soared to $29.26 in the wee hours of Oct. 21 but has since slightly retraced. The Avalanche price chart shows the asset is bullish, with a potential for over 20% gains.
Greeny, a top trader on X, monitors the Avalanche price and is considering swapping his SOL into AVAX if the asset “breaks up and shows strength.”
AVAX has been trending down against SOL for the past 2 years and is down 83% against the same. A turnaround could be explosive for the price of AVAX.
The chances of a turnaround are high since the Avalanche leadership recently announced Avalanche9000, which will enhance the network by bringing near-instant transaction finality to reduce costs and improve network efficiency.
Moreover, Avalanche also secured a partnership with Littio, a Columbian bank, which announced it would use the network for its Yield Pots platform after moving from Ethereum.
Further, traders are bullish on AVAX price as Coinglass Liquidation Map data shows twice as many Longs ($10.88 million) as Shorts ($5.42 million) on Avalanche.
The majority of the long positions with the largest leverage sizes sit between $27.3 and $27.7, which means there is solid support between the $26.7 and $28.1 range. On the flip side, the $5.44 million in shorts is spread out among low-leverage shorts, which is not larger than $80,000. This suggests that traders who are shorting AVAX prices are doing so very cautiously as the market is overall bullish.
This Avalanche price prediction shows the price moving within an ascending channel, which typically signals a continuation of the current uptrend until a breakout or breakdown occurs.
The current price, near $29, is approaching the upper resistance of the channel around $35. This upward movement suggests a potential gain of around 22% if the AVAX price reaches the upper boundary of the channel near $35.25.
The immediate target for AVAX is $30, followed by $35 if the bullish momentum continues. However, failure to break above $30 could lead to a retest of support at around $27 (200-EMA). If the price breaks lower than that, it could invalidate the current bullish thesis as it would break out downward from the channel, shifting momentum towards a bearish outlook.
