Avalanche’s native token, AVAX, declined 5% over the past 24 hours, underperforming the CoinDesk 20 Index, which registered a more modest 1.7% drop during the same period. The token, ranked 18th by market capitalization, continues to face selling pressure as bearish momentum builds.

AVAX traded within a 5.5% intraday range, moving between a session high of $21.16 and a low of $19.98. Despite brief stabilization attempts near $20.10, downward momentum persisted as sellers defended resistance levels.

Key Technical Developments:

• Intraday Range: $1.15 move between $21.16 (high) and $19.98 (low)
• Resistance Rejection: A failed bounce at $20.68 coincided with a volume peak of 1.58M
• Recovery Attempts Faded: Price reached $20.53 briefly before being pushed lower
• Late Session Pressure: AVAX dropped from $20.512 to $20.073 in one hour, a 2.14% decline
• Short-Term Breakdown: Price action turned decisively lower from $20.39 to $20.22, forming a bearish continuation pattern
• Volume Confirmation: A surge to 60,003 units signaled strong downside conviction
• Support Breach: Price fell below the $20.10 psychological level before attempting a weak rebound
• Current Structure: Resistance is now established at $20.47, with immediate support near $20.00

The current setup suggests that sellers remain in control, with no significant bullish reversal signals in sight. A sustained hold below $20.10 could open the door to further declines toward the mid-$19 range, especially if broader market sentiment remains negative.
