Is Avalanche’s network activity dropping?
AVAX Daily, a popular X handle that gives updates related to the Avalanche ecosystem, posted the blockchain’s weekly highlights on 8th February. The tweet showed that AVAX’s active addresses had dropped over the last few weeks.

Thanks to that, the blockchain’s number of daily transactions also gained upward momentum. Things in terms of captured value also looked pretty optimistic. This was evident from the rise in both Avalanche’s fees and revenue.

AVAX is pumping
AMBCrypto reported earlier that if AVAX managed to overcome the resistance level at $36.2, the possibility of the token touching $43 was high.
AVAX did gain bullish momentum in the last few hours as its price rallied. According to CoinMarketCap, in the last 24 hours alone, AVAX was up by more than 8%.
At the time of writing, AVAX was trading at $39.16 with a market capitalization of over $14.3 billion, making it the ninth largest crypto.
The good news was that the token’s volume also surged along with its price, meaning that investors were trading AVAX at its higher price. To further check whether the uptrend would last longer, AMBCrypt took a look at Avalanche’s daily chart.

The token’s MACD suggested that the bulls were controlling the market. Its Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also registered an uptick, indicating that investors might witness a continued price uptrend.
However, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) was about to enter the overbought zone. This might increase selling pressure on Avalanche, causing its price to plummet over the coming days.
