on the network. People are swapping tokens, engaging with smart contracts, and 
trying out new decentralized apps. It shows Avalanche can roll with heavy

on Avalanche isn’t just about one metric. Unique addresses on the network have 
climbed, suggesting a wider base of users. At the same time, total value 
locked in Avalanche-based protocols has held steady. Based on these signals, 
it looks like developer interest and real usage are building on top of the 
core chain. Avalanche $AVAX must hold above $20 to keep the uptrend intact and

(@ali_charts) July 13, 2025 Analysts Eye Key Levels Technical watchers are now 
zeroing in on key price points. Crypto strategist Ali Martinez says AVAX needs 
to stay above $20 to keep bulls alive. He argues that a sustained hold here 
could open the door to the next resistance zone near $26. Other analysts have 
a more aggressive take: reclaiming $24.27 would clear the way for a run past 
$54. Price Prediction Signals Mild Upside Based on current AVAX price forecast 
of CoinCodex, the token could rise by 6.54% to reach $23 by August 13, 2025. 
Technical indicators show a Neutral sentiment right now, while the Fear &amp; 
Greed Index sits at 74 (Greed). Over the past 30 days, Avalanche saw 14 green 
days out of 30, with price swings averaging 5.97%. Related Reading: Kiyosaki 
Awaits The Next Bitcoin Sale: ‘My Fellow Pigs And I Are Feasting’ Risks And 
Competition Loom Crypto markets aren’t operating in a vacuum. Shifts in US 
interest rates, fresh regulatory moves, or big announcements from rival chains 
can push AVAX off course. Ethereum layer‑2 networks and other layer‑1 
blockchains are all vying for the same users. The next few weeks should be 
telling. A drop below $20 could lead to more choppy trading. But a firm move 
above $24.20 might spark larger bets. Investors who like a bit of risk may add 
small positions around current prices. More cautious players may wait for a 
clear confirmation above the resistance band. Either way, all eyes are on 
Avalanche as it works through this make‑or‑break phase. Featured image from
