Technical indicators suggest that AVAX is in bearish territory, but there are signs of possible stabilization. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 36.99, suggesting that the asset is nearing oversold conditions but still has room for further declines.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains negative, underlining prevailing bearish momentum. However, the histogram implies that selling pressure is weakening, which could signal an upcoming shift.

Rebound from the current range could propel AVAX toward mid-term targets of $43.84, $58.06, and $80.03. However, failure to sustain the current support level may trigger extended declines.
