The cryptocurrency market is showing strong signs of recovery, with Ethereum (ETH) continuing to lead the charge. ETH has climbed over 56% in the past month and is now trading near the $2,500 mark. This upward momentum is lifting investor sentiment across major altcoins , including Avalanche (AVAX).

AVAX has recorded gains of over 19% this month, cutting its yearly losses to 35%, but its recent pullback is drawing attention. The token is now retesting a key breakout level, raising the possibility of a strong bounce back.

Retesting Inverse Head and Shoulders Breakout

On the daily timeframe, AVAX has formed a classic inverse head and shoulders pattern, a bullish reversal formation that often signals the end of a downtrend and the beginning of a new upward phase.

The pattern was confirmed when AVAX rallied from the right shoulder near $19.50 and broke through the neckline resistance around $23.50. This breakout pushed the price as high as $26.81, before a pullback took over.

Now, AVAX is retesting the neckline zone, hovering near the $22.86 mark. This level, which once acted as major resistance, is now a critical support. A successful retest could pave the way for further upside.

What’s Next for AVAX?

The area between $22 and $23 is crucial. Holding above it would likely confirm the breakout’s strength and keep the bullish structure intact.

  • If support holds: The next technical target sits near $32, based on the measured move from the head and shoulders pattern — representing a ~40% potential gain.
  • If support fails: A breakdown below $22 could invalidate the pattern, increasing downside risk toward the 100-day moving average support at $21.28.

Conclusion

AVAX’s current retest of a major breakout zone puts it at a pivotal moment. If bulls defend this support successfully, Avalanche may be poised for a strong move higher — especially if broader market sentiment continues to improve.

All eyes now turn to the $22–$23 zone. A bounce here could be the confirmation traders are looking for.
