What next for Avantis price after the 73% recovery?

  • Avantis whale activity remains weak despite strong short-term price gains.
  • Technical breakout hints at reversal, but confirmation needs $1.00 break.
  • TVL surge and new listings boost adoption amid rising volatility.

After a steep correction that erased much of its September gains, the Avantis price has staged an impressive rebound, rising 73% over the past week and 31.9% in the last 24 hours.

The AVNT token is now trading around $0.86, still nearly 59% below its September peak of $2.66.

While the recovery has rekindled investor optimism, the question remains — can this rally hold, or is it merely a temporary reprieve in a larger downtrend?

Whales are still on the sidelines

Despite the sharp recovery, large investors appear hesitant to jump back in.

On the daily chart, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), a key indicator of whale participation, remains below zero, showing that major wallets are not yet accumulating AVNT.

Historically, the Avantis price has moved in tandem with whale inflows; its September surge to an all-time high coincided with CMF turning positive.

Since the indicator slipped below zero on September 26, the market has seen sustained selling pressure.

While CMF has slightly improved in recent sessions, the momentum is weak.

The lack of significant whale support casts doubt on the rally’s durability.

For a genuine reversal to take hold, CMF needs to cross decisively into positive territory, confirming renewed institutional confidence.

Technical patterns hint at a possible shift

From a technical standpoint, Avantis appears to be trying to flip its bearish script.

The token recently broke out of a falling wedge pattern on the 12-hour chart, a formation often associated with a trend reversal.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 52.1, and the MACD histogram has turned slightly positive at +0.0088 — both signs of growing bullish momentum.

However, beneath these signals lies a warning.

Between October 10 and 21, the Avantis chart formed a hidden bearish divergence, where prices made lower highs while RSI posted higher highs.

This pattern can foreshadow weakening upside pressure.

A close above $1.00 would invalidate this bearish setup, confirming stronger buying interest.

Until then, traders remain cautious, especially with key support anchored around $0.57.

Rising TVL and platform growth fuel optimism

Fundamentally, Avantis’ ecosystem continues to show progress.

The project’s Total Value Locked (TVL) recently surpassed $111 million, up more than 430% in a month.

Much of this growth stems from its synthetic asset trading platform on Base Chain, which has attracted new liquidity and users.

The development of composable yield products is also boosting engagement, as AVNT’s staking and governance features tie directly to network revenue.

This rise in TVL not only reflects increasing adoption but also suggests stronger underlying demand for the AVNT token.

The platform’s expansion reinforces its long-term utility case, even as short-term market sentiment fluctuates.

Exchange listings have added liquidity — but also volatility

AVNT’s recent listings on Binance, Upbit, and Coinbase have dramatically increased liquidity, with daily trading volume now exceeding $307 million — roughly 2.4 times its market capitalisation.

Such high turnover indicates speculative enthusiasm, but it also underscores the market’s instability.

Following the listings in September, AVNT soared by nearly 400% before correcting by 60% in the weeks that followed.

The current rebound, though encouraging, remains fragile unless sustained by organic demand rather than short-term trading.

Avantis price outlook

In the short term, all eyes are on whether the Avantis price can maintain momentum above the $1.00 resistance.

Breaking this level would signal the start of a broader trend reversal and could open the path toward $1.32 and potentially $2.66 — the previous all-time high.

Failure to hold above $0.57, however, could invite renewed selling and a retest of lower levels near $0.46.

ApeCoin price forecast: weak bullish momentum signals risk ahead

  • The current ApeCoin price rally is driven by a technical breakout and legal clarity.
  • The bullish momentum, however, remains weak below key moving averages.
  • Upcoming token unlock and low adoption pose downside risks.

ApeCoin price has showed a sharp intraday today, but the gains mask fragile market dynamics.

While traders cheer the 16.2% 24-hour jump and burst in volume, multiple indicators point to follow-through risk.

Technical signals waver

ApeCoin has posted a notable breakout above short-term moving averages, briefly crossing the 7-day SMA and the 30-day EMA.

The MACD histogram has flipped positive, and the RSI-7 has moved out of the oversold territory, giving traders a short-term bullish signal.

The trading volume has also spiked dramatically to roughly $147 million, an increase that accompanied the price surge and amplified market attention.

However, deeper trend metrics tell a different story.

On higher timeframes, APE still trades below its MA-20, MA-50, and the MA-200, which keeps the longer bias tilted toward sellers.

Several momentum indicators remain inconsistent: some show bullish crossovers, while MACD on daily charts and ADX readings suggest persistent bearish momentum.

That mix creates whipsaw risk for momentum traders.

Legal relief boosts sentiment but isn’t a cure

ApeCoin’s market sentiment improved after a US court ruling in early October that reduced regulatory overhang by finding APE and related NFTs did not meet the Howey Test criteria.

Following the ruling, crypto exchanges publicly reaffirmed support, and institutional concern eased.

There is no doubt that the court ruling removed a headline risk that had weighed on price discovery for months.

However, legal clarity alone does not guarantee sustained demand.

Institutional adoption requires clear use cases and measurable on-chain activity.

Cross-chain growth looks promising but shallow

The expansion of Rapid ApeCoin Integration Deployment (R.A.I.D.) to networks such as Solana and Hyperliquid created new pathways for DeFi usage and gasless experiences.

These integrations broaden APE’s utility narrative and paved the way for new product experiments.

However, reported TVL across those integrations was modest, implying speculative trading drove much of the volume surge.

The market reaction underscores a familiar pattern: headline integration announcements can trigger big short-term price moves, while real adoption takes time.

Until developers and users materially increase activity, price appreciation will remain vulnerable to profit-taking and broader crypto market moves.

What to watch: ApeCoin price levels to watch

Key technical thresholds are straightforward and actionable. Analysts point to $0.459 as a critical support level to sustain bullish momentum.

According to CoinLore, a confirmed move above $0.4841 would open room toward higher resistance at $0.6660 and then $0.8718.

Conversely, downside scenarios grow if APE fails to hold above $0.459, or if it drops toward the $0.3402–$0.3953 five-day expected range.

An additional event to monitor is the scheduled 200 million token unlock at the end of October.

That token unlock could increase selling pressure and test the market’s ability to absorb newly liquid supply.

Traders should treat the unlock as a near-term macro event that could constrain rallies.

Crypto wrap: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Solana, and XRP muted after CPI report

  • Cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Solana, and XRP traded higher and then pared gains.
  • Sentiment improved with the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, but prices failed to rally.
  • Analysts say the CPI data makes a Federal Reserve rate cut on October 29 “highly probable”.

Major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Solana, and XRP have maintained steady prices despite Wall Street’s robust reaction to a key economic data release. 

As such, the cryptocurrency market was largely muted on Friday October 24, 2025, with an initial price spike following the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report failing to flip into notable gains. 

While several coins traded in the green, the subdued action meant the global crypto market capitalization, per CoinGecko, remained at $3.81 trillion.

Sentiment was still largely negative as the Fear & Greed index hovered at 32 and was in fear territory.

Meanwhile, global daily trading volume slipped to $153 billion.

Bitcoin, Ethereum prices as investors react to CPI data

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the US CPI inflation report for September on Friday.

Data showed inflation was cooler than expected, with headline CPI at 0.3% and core inflation at 0.2%.

Meanwhile, both year-over-year measures for headline and core came in at 3%.

Economist Mohamed El-Erian commented on what the data says:

“This report makes a Federal Reserve rate cut next week highly probable. What happens beyond that, however, will depend on subsequent data, primarily confirmation of a softening labor market and continued disinflation.”

Stocks however, soared amid the report and a host of other bullish factors.

Bitcoin traded to highs of $111,842 before quickly retreating to $110,500.

Ethereum on the other hand, rose slightly to near $4,000 before revisiting $3,870 and settling just above $3,900.

Despite the cooling inflation data, analysts see a 99% likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut on October 29.

This will feed into risk asset appeal and both BTC and ETH could rally past key supply walls around $115k and $4,250.

BNB steady after Changpeng Zhao pardon

BNB, the native token of Binance, has maintained its price at $1,106, with negligible movement post-CPI.

The token is benefiting from Binance’s dominance in spot trading, and the news of President Donald Trump’s pardon of founder Changpeng Zhao buoyed the broader market.

BNB price moved from lows of $1,048 to near $1,150 on October 24 before settling near the psychological $1,000 mark.

Solana and XRP steady but below key levels

Both Solana and XRP held steady at $190 and $2.49, respectively.

Network activity, partnerships and acquisitions have complemented sentiment built around spot ETF anticipation and treasury strategy moves.

However, SOL and XRP are below the key buy zones of $200 and $3.00, respectively.

Confidence could skyrocket if bulls take out bears at these levels.

News that Ripple is one of the crypto titans bankrolling donations for Trump’s White House ballroom project see XRP get further limelight.

Aster price risks dip below $1 despite major buyback plan

  • The ASTER token is teetering near a critical support level of $1.03-$1.00.
  • A potential drop below $1 risks triggering further declines to $0.90.
  • The outlook is despite a buyback plan the Aster team announced on Friday.

Aster DEX, a decentralized exchange backed by YZi Labs and linked to Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, has unveiled a significant buyback initiative to bolster its native token, ASTER.

Announced earlier today, the plan proposes allocating 70-80% of Season 3 fees toward ASTER buybacks, contingent on market conditions.

However, despite this bold move, market data and technical outlook suggest that ASTER faces substantial risks of dipping below the critical $1 psychological support level.

Aster team plans major token buyback

The ASTER token is currently trading at $1.06, just in the red.

However, the DEX token faces notable selling pressure as has been seen in the past week and month.

On Friday, the cryptocurrency failed to climb despite earlier gains.

Intraday upticks saw the altcoin’s price reject in the $1.12 and $1.15 region, with gains and the subsequent selling pressure coming amid a major ASTER buyback announcement.

Why is ASTER price down today?

Aster fell amid negative news on Thursday. Today, the token’s price action reflects a fragile market, with technical indicators pointing to potential downside risks.

Notably, Aster has lost over 55% of its value since the peak of $2.42 reached in September.

The rally that saw the exchange platform challenge and even surpass Hyperliquid in volume has dissipated, and the altcoin’s 24-hour trading volume, while robust, has dropped below $800 million.

Market sentiment is further strained amid overall crypto action.

On Friday, following high anticipation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the Consumer Price Index inflation for September.

After an initial uptick alongside stocks, Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as most cryptocurrencies showed subdued action.

The US CPI report, which indicated cooling inflation, failed to inspire sustained bullish momentum across the crypto sector.

While the Dow Jones Industrial Average had spiked by over 530 points as of writing, Bitcoin failed to rally above $111,000, and ETH pared gains from near $4,000.

Aster price signalled a similar outlook despite the team’s buyback announcement.

Is ASTER set to dump below $1?

Technical indicators highlight that the current price is at a critical support zone.

A downturn below $1.03 means bears could strengthen in the $0.93-$0.97 region. ASTER could drop to lows of $0.90.

Meanwhile, robust resistance lies in the $1.12-$1.15 zone, with a break to above $1.24 potentially triggering an upward momentum toward $1.52 and then $1.60.

In any case, ASTER’s ability to hold above $1 is crucial for this bullish outlook.

The buyback plan’s execution and broader market stabilization will be key for buyers.

The token’s institutional backing and multi-chain architecture may also offer a foundation for recovery.

However, the overall crypto market outlook suggests uncertainty could deter short-term holders.
