【I’m waiting for AVAX to break out, and I’ve been itching to trade for three days】
Honestly, I’ve been watching the 9.69 level for a long time.
It’s not that I’m especially good at drawing trend lines. Before that 2021 boom that made people rich, AVAX spent a full two months grinding around this range. I lost patience and sold during that stretch, then it shot straight up—and I was so mad I didn’t open the app for three days.
Now it’s back at this level. On the daily chart, AVAX is down 93% from its ATH. What does that kind of drop mean? It means most people have already written this coin off. No one’s talking about it in the community, KOLs aren’t analyzing it, and even the people who used to bash it have gone quiet.
But you know what? Whenever this kind of “consensus death” sets in, I actually pay closer attention. The dead don’t need to be fooled; it’s the living who get fooled.
Look at the structure. On the daily chart, it’s forming a symmetrical triangle, with 9.69 as the lower boundary and 10.72 as the upper one. The highs are getting lower and the lows are flattening out. In any market, this pattern signals that energy is building—it’s going to break either up or down, and it won’t move sideways for much longer.
It’s even clearer on the 4H chart. Both times it tested 9.69, volume came in, but each time it sold off, volume shrank. What does that tell us? People are selling, but there are buyers stepping in too—and the buyers seem even less afraid than the sellers. The FNG Index is at 63, so market sentiment is greedy, but AVAX is clearly weaker than the broader market. That suggests this isn’t an independent move by AVAX; it’s just swaying within this range along with BTC.
So what happens next?
My view is that an upside breakout is more likely. There’s just one reason: volume is rising, but the price hasn’t broken down. That means the selling pressure is being absorbed, and whoever is absorbing it isn’t doing so just to cut their losses—those are real buyers with real money. But let me be clear: I could be wrong.
What would prove me wrong? If it breaks below 9.69 again on rising volume, then I’ve got this move wrong. Once this kind of converging pattern breaks to the downside, the move could be substantial, and everyone who bought the dip at 9.69 could get trapped. That’s why I say 9.69 isn’t just support—it’s the bulls’ pride. Once they lose face, there’s no point watching anymore.
What about the bears? They’re looking at BTC dominance, which is still high at 59.3%; the sector rotation hasn’t reached altcoins yet; and it’s still debatable whether AVAX’s fundamentals have really improved. Short positions in the futures market are also substantial, with everyone waiting for a breakdown.
What does this mean in practice? Put simply, in the 9.69–10.72 range, both bulls and bears are waiting for the other side to make the first move. If it breaks upward, momentum buyers will come in; if it breaks downward, stop-loss orders and short sellers will drive the price lower. This isn’t a prediction—it’s the basic logic of the battle between bulls and bears: one side has to give in first.
So how am I feeling right now? Honestly, I’m itching to trade. But the scars from 2021 taught me that getting itchy in a converging range like this is the most dangerous thing—you think you’re just watching, but you’re already standing at the edge of a cliff.
I’m leaning upward, but I’m waiting for confirmation on rising volume. Until then, I’m sitting tight. What about you? What do you think of this move—would you dare to take a position? #AVAX #加密市场 #DACITY #MarketFeel
