Avalanche is nearing $10. Why this could be an important make-or-break level

Celebrated DeFi platform Avalanche (AVAX/USD) is having a rough time this year. Having traded at a high of $150 in November 2021, it has failed terribly this year. From its all-time high, AVAX has now crashed by nearly 93% to its current $11.7 price. The cryptocurrency is now headed to $10, a crucial level that could spell stability or doom for the token.

AVAX’s boom in 2021 reflected a growing interest in DeFi. The platform provides tools to let users launch decentralised applications. However, a spiral of activities, including the Terra Luna crash and economic tightening, has hit the blockchain hard. The FTX crisis has been the last blow that has accelerated the bear market.

AVAX Chart by TradingView

AVAX prints a bear momentum heading to the $10 support. The cryptocurrency is in a clear system of lower lows and lower highs.

On the weekly chart, AVAX lost the $15 level, paving the way for further decline. The MACD indicator shows the bears are still in control. The RSI shows AVAX is nearly oversold.

Why could $10 be crucial for AVAX?

AVAX at $10 would mark a crucial make-or-break level. The level would be the lowest for the cryptocurrency since June 2021. AVAX has defended this level for two years now. The $10 zone was defended in June 2021 when AVAX initiated a bullish recovery. A price boom followed.

Should AVAX break below $10, we could head to the lows of 2020. The next price in the range will be $4.3.
