AVAX prices see weekly gains of 36% – Predictions coming true?

• Avalanche’s liquidation will increase if its price touches $61.4. 
• Market indicators looked bearish on the token.

Avalanche [AVAX] caught investors off guard as it decoupled from the entire crypto market in the last few days. Therefore, let’s have a closer look at the token’s metrics to see what is causing AVAX to act differently from the rest. 

Avalanche bulls are here

While most cryptos suffered losses because of the recent bearish market condition, AVAX moved the other way around. According to CoinMarketCap, AVAX was up by more than 40% in the last seven days.

In fact, in the last 24 hours alone, the token’s value surged by over 22%. At the time of writing, AVAX was trading at $60.18 with a market capitalization of over $22 billion. The good news was that the token’s trading volume also surged by 35% in the last 24 hours, acting as a foundation for the price uptick.

Thanks to the bull rally, Avalanche’s 1-week price volatility spiked substantially. Moreover, positive sentiment around the token was also high, meaning that investors were confident in AVAX’s bull rally and expected its value to surge further.

Things in the derivatives market also looked pretty optimistic. AMBCrypto’s analysis of Coinglass’ data revealed that AVAX’s funding rate increased, suggesting that derivatives investors were actively buying the token.

Additionally, its open interest also went up along with its price. Whenever the metric moves up, it increases the chances of the current price trend continuing further.

High liquidation ahead 

Though the aforementioned metrics look bullish, AVAX will witness high liquidation if its rice moves up.

To be precise, an analysis of Hyblock Capital’s data revealed that Avalanche’s liquidation will rise when its price touches the $61.5 and $62 marks.

High liquidation means a rise in selling pressure, which might put an end to the token’s bull rally.
