Whale activity paints a bullish picture

According to AMBCrypto’s analysis of IntoTheBlock data, large transactions have significantly increased. Actually, $713.98 million worth of AVAX transactions exceeding $100,000 were traded in the past seven days.

This surge in whale activity often precedes significant price movements.

Holder profitability has also surged by 7.69%. This meant reduced selling pressure, as more holders found themselves in profit. 

The concentration of tokens in large holders’ wallets also remained high at 72% at press time, indicating a significant whale influence on price movements.

Avalanche ecosystem growth?

AMBCrypto further analyzed Santiment’s data to evaluate social and development activities. Notably, the Social Volume data showed several spikes, indicating growing interest and discussion within the crypto community.

This increased Social Volume often correlates with price movements and leads the way to further price gains.

Development Activity remained consistently high as well. This correlated with the ongoing improvements to the AVAX ecosystem.

This sustained effort is a positive sign for long-term investors, as it indicated continued token innovation and progress.

Liquidation adds to rally

AMBCrypto’s look at the liquidation heatmap data via Coinglass indicated a concentration of liquidation levels above the current price level.

This suggests that a move above these levels could fuel market liquidations, potentially accelerating AVAX’s upward momentum.
