Avalanche price sets for a rally following retest of key support level
|- Avalanche price retests its trendline support area at $26.34, with potential recovery on the cards.
- On-chain data shows AVAX's development activity is growing, suggesting a bullish move ahead.
- A daily candlestick close below $21.99 would invalidate the bullish move.
Avalanche (AVAX) price bounced off the $26.34 support level to trade at $27.95 as of Friday. Growing on-chain development activity indicates a potential bullish move in the coming days.
Avalanche looks promising for a rally ahead
Avalanche price faced rejection by the daily resistance at $32.66 earlier this week, extended the correction move for the fourth day in a row and retested the trendline support at $26.34.At the time of writing, AVAX bounced off the trendline support and trades higher by 2%, around $27.95, on Friday.
If the $26.34 level holds, AVAX could rally 24% to retest its daily resistance at $32.66.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart has briefly slipped below the 50 mid-line, while the Awesome Oscillator (AO) is on its way to doing the same. If bulls are indeed making a comeback, then both momentum indicators must maintain their positions above their respective mean levels. Such a development would add a tailwind to the recovery rally.
AVAX/USDT daily chart
Based on IntoTheBlock's In/Out of the Money Around Price (IOMAP), nearly 147,960 addresses accumulated 1.24 million AVAX tokens at an average price of $27.43. These addresses bought Avalanche tokens between $26.99 and $27.78, which makes it a key support zone.
Interestingly, the $26.99 to $27.78 zone mentioned from a technical analysis perspective coincides with the IOMAP findings, making this zone a key reversal area to watch.

AVAX Development Activity chart
Even though on-chain metrics and technical analysis point to a bullish outlook, if AVAX's price makes a daily candlestick close below $21.99, the bullish thesis would be invalidated by creating a lower low on the daily chart. This development could see Avalanche's price decline by 11% to retest its daily low of $19.47 from November 28, 2023.
