The general market trend is turning from a bearish phase to a bullish phase as major crypto coins are catching a bullish wave. This has urged the overall market to pick up steam, including altcoins like AVAX.
A prominent crypto analyst, Ash Crypto, highlighted that Grayscale Investments filed an S-1 with the SEC for a spot Avalanche (AVAX) ETF, seeking to offer regulated Wall Street access to the layer-1 blockchain.

If the fund goes through approval, investors will gain access to AVAX without holding the tokens themselves, another vote of confidence in Avalanche’s place alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum in the institutional market.
The timing is key, as the crypto market is in Q4, seasonally correlated with altcoin seasons. Possessing a rapid, horizontal-scaling network available and a growing DeFi environment on top, Avalanche is in prime position to benefit from new institutional flows that can catalyze the broader altseason and open the gates to other large-cap altcoins.

The token is struggling to break above current resistance levels around $24.14, with another stronger level being $27.14. To the downside, support is still at $21.75; breaking this level potentially sends the asset back into the $16.36 region. For bulls, reclaiming $27.14 remains key to unlocking further gains toward the $40.00–$60.00 range.

On the other hand, the OI-weighted funding rate stands at 0.0087%, representing mild bullishness among perpetual futures market players. This positive funding rate implies that long positions are paying shorts, although the tight spread is another indication that conviction is low.
