【If AVAX falls back below $ 5, what will Charles Schwab do?】
I thought about this for two days.
First, let’s talk about what happened this week. Over the past seven days, AVAX’s price was hammered down from around $ 7.7 all the way to the support at $ 7.09. Now it’s hovering around $ 7.29. Down nearly 5 points over seven days, and then another 3 points in the last 24 hours. Doesn’t sound scary, right? But against the backdrop of the Greed Index at 73, it gets interesting—while the whole market is smiling, AVAX is the one getting beaten up.
My read this week is: abnormal volume expansion, combined with high sentiment, is usually a sign that a big move is coming. What happened, though? The direction never really broke out—instead, it’s grinding at the support. What do you call this? It’s called “building up energy,” and you can also call it “bull trap.” Which one it is will be clear next week.
But what really has my attention isn’t the price—it’s this piece of news: Charles Schwab added AVAX to their crypto trading platform. This traditional brokerage that manages nearly $900 billion in assets added AVAX in a hurry, not long after they launched BTC and ETH.
So what does it mean when this becomes real?
In the past, AVAX holders were basically crypto insiders themselves. On-chain transfers, DeFi mining, NFT trading—everything stayed within the circle. Now it’s different. A middle-aged person with a Merrill Lynch account can buy AVAX with a few clicks, and the assets are held directly through the traditional brokerage. You might think this is just a “good piece of news”? No—this is a structural change in liquidity. The user base expands from “crypto natives who are willing to tinker” to “people who don’t want to mess around but want to allocate.” The two groups have totally different logic for holding coins—especially the latter; their chips don’t move easily.
Does the business rationale make sense? I think it does. If Schwab wants to retain younger customers, it can’t rely on traditional asset-management products alone—crypto is a must-have option. And for AVAX to be on that list means it has already cleared some compliance threshold. That’s more convincing than any technical whitepaper.
Next week, I’ll watch two things: whether $ 7.09 breaks, and whether there’s any unusual movement in the trading volume at that support. If the buildup completes, it should break upward; if it’s a bull trap, it will smash right through.
Has my view changed this week? Before the news came out, I felt AVAX was showing signs of weakening on its own; after the news, I’m actually less pessimistic. The fundamentals are changing—the price just hasn’t caught up yet.
What do you think—how much will Charles Schwab, a traditional broker, affect the real holder structure of AVAX? And how long before any of that shows up in the price?
