The token has moved within a seven-day range between $12.87 to $14.63 and is now down 2.4% over the past week. <\/p>\n<p>On a monthly view, AVAX has lost roughly 15%, keeping price action pinned near a key support zone that has repeatedly come under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Trading picked up even though the price barely moved. Avalanche\u2019s (AVAX) 24-hour volume jumped 41% to $301 million, suggesting more traders are stepping in as the token tests lower levels. <\/p>\n<p>On the derivatives side, futures activity grew 21% to $591 million, and open interest edged up 1.2% to $515.5 million, as per CoinGlass <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/AVAX\/futures\" target=\"_blank\">data<\/a>. This shows that many traders are opening new positions rather than closing existing ones.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ecosystem progress fails to lift price<\/h2>\n<p>Avalanche has seen steady growth on its network as 2025 comes to a close, but the gains haven\u2019t yet pushed prices higher. Activity on the C-Chain keeps expanding, while total value locked on the uptrend. Meanwhile, the stablecoin supply has grown to over $1.5 billion, showing that new capital is flowing into the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Institutional interest in Avalanche has picked up as well. AVAX was recently added to the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF. Expanded custody support for USDC on the C-Chain, along with more involvement from institutional funds, has reinforced the token\u2019s long-term case. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Huge: Avalanche is now part of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF (NYSE: BITW)<\/p>\n<p>The institutions are here\ud83d\udd3a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xtJC0ib378\">pic.twitter.com\/xtJC0ib378<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Avalanche\ud83d\udd3a (@avax) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/avax\/status\/1998460112407609494?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">December 9, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Still, weakness across the broader market has kept momentum in check, leaving prices exposed to technical pressure.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avalanche price technical analysis<\/h2>\n<p>AVAX remains stuck in a long-term downtrend. Every major rally since the token last traded above $30 has been stopped by a descending trendline, and that pattern is still in place. As a result, the market\u2019s overall bias continues to lean toward the downside.<\/p>\n<p>After the last sell-off, a rising wedge has already broken to the downside, confirming that the bearish trend is still in play. Price is now tightening around the $13 mark, forming a shape similar to a descending triangle. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Avalanche daily chart.

The relative strength index sits around 42, under the neutral line, suggesting buying interest is limited. After the sharp drop from the $28\u2013$30 range, trading volume has cooled, showing that selling pressure has eased, though demand remains cautious.<\/p>\n<p>If the $13 support breaks, the next key level could be near $11.50, with $10 acting as a stronger floor. \u00a0AVAX would need to push back into the $15.50\u2013$16 range on stronger volume to relieve near-term bearish pressure.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avalanche price is struggling to hold the $13 level as bearish chart structures remain intact despite rising trading activity and steady ecosystem growth.
