【AVAX is down 93%, so is it a “bargain”? This logic has killed how many people?】

Are you looking at AVAX down 93% from its ATH and getting tempted—thinking, “At this price, what more could you ask for?”

I get it. I thought the same thing in 2017.

But here’s the reality: AVAX is at $10.31 right now, down 8.3% over the past 7 days and 2.5% in the past 24 hours. On the surface, it looks like the selling has stalled. But the truth is—it’s waiting for the final blow.

The daily chart structure is clear: lower highs, and the $9.59 support hasn’t broken yet, but the buying that’s been propping up the price is getting weaker each time. It’s even clearer on the 4-hour chart: every time it drops to around $9.70, buyers step in, but the price can’t climb afterward. What does that tell you? The buyers are getting out, not building positions. On the 1-hour chart, the moving averages are already bearishly aligned, and short-term money is heading for the exits.

But what concerns me most is trading volume.

We’re now hearing signals like, “Volume is unusually high; a big move may be approaching.” When you hear that, is your first reaction, “A reversal is coming! A move up!”? I used to think that way too.

But here’s what old crypto hands will tell you: the truth about a surge in volume at the bottom is that big money is changing hands, not buying the dip. What does a real bottom look like? Nobody cares, volume dries up completely, and nobody wants to sell. What do we have now? News everywhere, rising volume—which means people are betting against each other, people are running for the exits, and some are still shouting “value investing.”

Sentiment isn’t helping either. The Fear & Greed Index is at 59, below the weekly average of 67, and trending downward. Meanwhile, BTC dominance is still high at 59.2%, sucking up capital. AVAX, a second-tier coin, is supposed to rally on its own? Unless there’s some genuinely material positive catalyst, don’t dream of it.

So what does this mean in practice?

Market makers and early holders are distributing. Retail traders think it’s cheap and are catching the falling knife. If this structure plays out, it’s only a matter of time before $9.59 breaks. What would invalidate my view? Simple—a big, high-volume bullish candle that pushes back above $10.86. That would be a signal. Everything else is noise.

But honestly, is anything in the AVAX ecosystem actually being put to use right now? Are real users growing in number? I haven’t seen it. Have you?

What’s your mindset right now? Are you brave enough to buy this dip? Feeling tempted?
