【AVAX at this level—someone has quietly started building a position】

A buddy just messaged me asking whether AVAX was worth buying on the dip. I took a look at the chart and said, “Don’t rush in just yet.”

It’s not that I’m bearish—this level just hasn’t fully stabilized.

Looking at the daily chart, AVAX has fallen nearly 93% from its highs. Its valuation really is at rock bottom. But a low valuation doesn’t mean it’s about to rise. My 20-plus years of experience have taught me that market bottoms are never V-shaped; they form through repeated tests.

AVAX is down 7.4% over the past seven days and fell another 3.1% yesterday, so short-term selling pressure is still there. Look at the trading volume—it’s spiked unusually high, exceeding 5% of its market cap. Big money is on the move. We can’t ignore this signal: either someone is dumping their holdings, or someone is buying at this level. Either way, the next few days could bring a major move.

Bulls and bears are both watching two key levels:
- Bears are watching 9.58. If it breaks, AVAX could look for support below $9.
- Bulls are watching 10.27. It needs to hold above this level before a decent rebound can take shape.

On the 4-hour chart, price is at the tail end of a contracting triangle, with volatility narrowing. When this pattern resolves, it either breaks out on high volume or fakes out and reverses. The 1-hour chart makes it even clearer: AVAX has been ranging between 10.27 and 9.58—a 200-point range—for nearly two weeks.

The sentiment index is at 55, broadly in line with overall market sentiment. There’s no extreme panic, but no euphoria either. In conditions like these, the market often changes direction in silence.

So what does this level really mean? Does the investment case still hold up?

I’ve actually run projects on the AVAX chain. Its DeFi ecosystem and cross-chain bridges do have real users. But a low valuation doesn’t mean the price has bottomed—we still need to see whether overall market sentiment can stabilize. Solana’s mainnet has been running exceptionally smoothly lately, while Polygon has entered the payments sector by acquiring Coinme. Moves by these major ecosystems can draw away both market capital and attention. Capital is limited, so the competition between ecosystems is a zero-sum game over existing funds.

What’s my outlook from here? I’m leaning toward a test of 9.58 first. If that level holds, then I’d consider a bullish opportunity. What would change my mind? Simple: if BTC’s market dominance keeps rising and breaks above 60%, smaller-cap coins like AVAX will face even heavier outflows, and 9.58 may not hold. On the other hand, if BTC dominance falls and the broader market recovers, AVAX could have more upside than the major coins.

Do you think AVAX can hold 9.58 this time, or will it head straight below $8 to look for support?
