AVAX Targets 35% Rally – Key Factors Fueling Avalanche’s Momentum

• AVAX’s Long/Short ratio stands at 1.40, reflecting strong bullish sentiment, with 58.3% of traders holding long positions for Avalanche.
• A recent buyback of 1.97 million AVAX tokens by the Avalanche Foundation could exert upward price pressure.

Avalanche’s native cryptocurrency AVAX has been recently in the limelight among developers amid key developments within the ecosystem and the broader market rally. Over the last week, the AVAX price has delivered strong 35% gains participating in the crypto market surge.

Market analysts believe that the Avalanche won’t stop on its upward journey anytime soon and could be eyeing for major potential gains ahead. Also, on the daily technical chart, AVAX presents strong buying action while suggesting a perfect buying opportunity. As of press time, the Avalanche price is trading 1% down at $31.49 with a market cap of $12,82 billion. Also, the daily trading volume has surged by 88% to more than $1.08 billion.

Avalanche (AVAX) has recently broken through a significant resistance level of $30, with its price now moving toward the next key resistance point. The asset’s surge has also seen it surpass the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the daily chart, signaling a shift in market sentiment from a downtrend to an uptrend.

Also, as per the historical price momentum, if the Avalanche price closes above the daily candle of $32, there’s a strong possibility that it can soar by another 35% in the coming days rallying all the way to $42.5 ahead. Considering the current market conditions, achieving these levels shouldn’t come as much pain for AVAX investors. However, the market is likely to see some volatility considering key macro data release this week for US CPI, jobless claims, PPI, etc.

Jason Yanowitz, Co-founder of Blockworks, believes that the Avalanche price could be on the verge of replicating its impressive 70X rally from 2021. According to Yanowitz, this phase began on November 5 following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election.

Yanowitz also highlighted that during this period, the private market is preparing to enter the crypto space. He noted that on November 6, many allocators realized they were significantly underexposed to crypto. Yanowitz forecasts that these firms are now reaching out to VCs and hedge funds for allocation, with major new funds expected to be announced soon.

Another catalyst for the Avalanche could be the recent buyback of 1.97 million AVAX tokens by the Avalanche Foundation, per the CNF report. This can provide an upward price pressure on the altcoin.
