All the events mentioned above point to the development of the Avalanche ecosystem.For example, in cooperation with USDC, the project promises to provide a viable alternative to Ethereum very expensive Tether (USDT) stable currency trading.

In addition, by making BitGo an institutional custodian of AVAX, Avalanche appears to be preparing to cater to qualified investors. Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo, explained:

“Institutional custody is different from retail custody. The BitGo wallet and custody are designed from the ground up to meet the needs of institutional investors.

AVAX price risk

Overall, one of the remaining downside risks surrounding AVAX is related to the performance of the crypto market.

Specifically, AVAC rose within a week, witnessing the entire cryptocurrency market value loss of more than 114 billion U.S. dollars, the leading crypto asset Bitcoin (Bitcoin) And ether (Ethereum) So far this week has plunged more than 7% and 5%.Concerns about the Fed’s reduction plan Catalyze the market sell-off.

Therefore, traders seem to see AVAX as their short-term hedge against the decline in the cryptocurrency market, which is mainly driven by a series of positive news.

In addition, at the time of writing, the AVAX/BTC currency pair has risen nearly 40% so far this week to around 0.00245 BTC, and the relative strength index (RSI) of the currency pair has entered the overbought zone. This may prompt AVAX to weaken against BTC in the next trading day.

A similar result may occur in the case of AVAX/USD because its weekly RSI is close to the overbought level.

However, as long as it stays above its 20-week exponential moving average (20-week EMA) as support, the currency pair may maintain its bullish tendency. As shown in the figure above, since August 2020, Green Wave has been restricting AVAX’s downward attempts.
