Revolut’s decision to liquidate $1.2 million worth of AVAX has put the token’s psychological resistance under the microscope. With AVAX hovering around $6.91 and only a 1.08 % uptick over the past day, the market is still in a state of extreme fear. This environment makes it difficult to gauge whether the current price level will hold or if a large‑scale leverage reset—where many traders unwind positions—could trigger a sharper decline.
The backdrop of Avalanche’s treasury stock plunging 73 % since its IPO, and the company’s own warning that it may not survive the year, adds a layer of institutional uncertainty. If institutional holders begin to sell en masse, the liquidity cushion that keeps AVAX afloat could evaporate, pushing the token below its key support levels.
For retail traders, the immediate takeaway is to keep an eye on the next support zone near $6.50. A break below that could signal a broader sell‑off, while a bounce might indicate that the modest 24‑hour rally is sustainable. Watching the fear‑greed index, which remains in extreme fear, will also help gauge whether a sudden shift in sentiment could precipitate a leverage reset. In short, the market is poised at a crossroads: a small rally could be a false flag, or it could be the start of a new bullish phase—only time will tell.
