Avalanche rebounds 25% in five days as AVAX price tests key level — big rally ahead?

cointelegraph.com:

Avalanche (AVAX) has rebounded strongly five days after testing a key inflection area as its support. Now, the AVAX/USD pair faces the possibility of continuing its upside retracement move further into Q2.

AVAX's price surged to almost $69.50 on May 5 from nearly $55 on April 30, a 25% jump.

Interestingly, AVAX's rebound move surfaced inside the same support area ($54-60 range) that had preceded a 100% and a 175% price rally in the January 2022-April 2022 and the October 2021-November 2021 session, respectively.

Additionally, the lower trendline of the AVAX's prevailing descending channel pattern (possibly a "bull flag") served as support. That raised the Avalanche token's potential to extend its rebound move towards the channel's upper trendline near $90, up almost 35% from today's price.

AVAX's price rally also coincided with similar upside moves elsewhere in the crypto market, in part due to Federal Reserve's announcement on May 4 to hike interest rates by 0.5% against the widely-anticipated 0.75%.

AVAX is up by about 20% when measured from its May 4's lows near $59. Interestingly, its gains turned out to be higher than its top rivaling assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Polkadot (DOT). That could be due to Valkyrie.

The Tennessee-based crypto investment firm announced on May 4 that it is launching an Avalanche Trust (VAVAX) for accredited investors. It set the minimum investment at $25,000 and, according to sources, has already attracted $25 million to its vaults.
