When everyone is waiting for a crash, the market is often already bottoming out.
In the week of the FTX collapse in November 2022, the market was in absolute panic, and the FNG index dropped to single digits. What happened next? AVAX didn't continue to plummet; instead, it suddenly found support at a certain level and then bounced back nearly 40% within a week.
The current situation is somewhat similar.
FNG index at 8, extreme fear. The weekly average is 12, which historically indicates what? It means retail investors are too scared to catch the falling knife, while institutions are still on the sidelines, and chips are quietly changing hands. AVAX has dropped 95% from its highs, which is a terrifying number, but have you considered—when everyone thinks it's done for, that’s exactly when it's the most dangerous.
Let’s highlight a few key points.
First, it dropped 23% over the last 7 days, then jumped 3.7% yesterday. This isn't weakness; it's a typical bottoming oscillation structure. 6.43 is the lifeline, and 7.0 is short-term resistance. If it can hold above 6.43, there’s hope ahead.
Second, the trading volume has spiked unusually. After a massive drop, the volume shrank as it stabilized, and now it’s picking up again—this kind of volume structure often indicates that the big players are accumulating. A turnover of over 5% of market cap isn’t something retail can achieve.
Third, what does a 95% drop mean? It means the valuation is in a very low range. The question isn't whether it will drop more, but—has its fundamentals really changed fundamentally?
My judgment is: not yet.
Avalanche's ecosystem is still functioning, its core TVL has shrunk but hasn't gone to zero, and not all institutional partnerships have fled. So, this level isn't a time to catch the bottom, but it's a good time to start observing.
Regarding my trades, I tried two small longs below 6.5 this week, setting my stop-loss at 6.0, which gives a decent risk-reward ratio. As for the results, we'll review it next week.
Lastly, here’s a hard-hitting question: When the market is in extreme fear, are you cutting losses or doing your research?
