AVAX Surges 4% On Avalanche-Bitcoin Bridge Upgrade, Accelerating Transaction Speeds

by

Avalanche (AVAX) has shown a noteworthy resurgence, recording a 4% gain in its daily chart. This upswing comes on the heels of an announcement from Ava Labs regarding a significant update to the Avalanche-Bitcoin Bridge. The update, executed by the Bridge Nodes, has introduced a notable improvement in transaction speed for transfers from the Avalanche network to the Bitcoin Network.

AVAX, much like its cryptocurrency counterparts, has faced its fair share of price fluctuations. Presently, AVAX is trading at $9.43. A closer examination of the daily chart reveals that AVAX recently experienced a retracement to a pivotal support level that has remained intact since the summer of 2021. The integrity of this support block holds considerable importance for the future price trajectory of AVAX.

Should this support block fail to hold, the next potential support zones are $7.39 and $5.91, while resistance levels are $10.64. This retracement may present a viable buying opportunity, as AVAX has historically exhibited similar opportunities in the past, notably in December of the previous year and in June of the current year.

Presently, in line with many other alternative cryptocurrencies, AVAX appears to be in an overextended state, possibly indicating an impending relief rally back toward the 20 EMA (Exponential Moving Average). 

Avalanche Bridge Security Upgrade

The Avalanche-Bitcoin Bridge has undergone an important upgrade today. This alteration is intended to allow ample time for Bridge Nodes to thoroughly examine data from both the blockchains during their screening process. The primary objective is to bolster detection and prevention mechanisms against potential misuse of the Bridge by malicious actors.

The update exclusively affects transactions from Avalanche to Bitcoin without impacting transactions in the reverse direction, the Avalanche-Ethereum Bridge, or other cross-chain bridging solutions such as LayerZero and Axelar. Furthermore, the requirement for a consensus of at least 75% of Bridge Nodes for transaction validation remains unchanged.

While this update may extend the time required for transfers from Avalanche to the Bitcoin Network, it aligns with previous updates to optimize the Avalanche Bridge for sustained cross-chain interoperability. 

It reflects the network community’s commitment to fostering a supportive environment for trustworthy participants while discouraging malicious actors. Transactions identified as originating from malicious actors during the screening process will continue to be blocked as before.

Avalanche’s HyperSDK Testnet Breaks Barriers with 140k TPS Milestone

by

Avalanche, the leading smart contract platform, has achieved a remarkable milestone with its newly unveiled testnet, HyperSDK, which showcased its capability to handle over 140,000 transactions per second [TPS]. This achievement, as depicted in a shared GitHub screenshot, marks a significant leap for the layer-1 blockchain network.

HyperSDK made its debut on February 21, 2023, with the primary aim of empowering developers to construct high-performance Virtual Machines [VMs] entirely from the ground up. Blockchains created using HyperSDK are aptly named “HyperChains,” offering developers the freedom to tailor them for a myriad of purposes, ranging from NFT marketplaces to DeFi protocols. This innovation heralds a new era of creativity and flexibility for Avalanche’s developer community.

Before the advent of HyperSDK, Avalanche could process up to 4,500 TPS, while Solana managed between 2,000 and 3,000 TPS, and Ethereum lagged far behind with a mere 15-20 TPS, according to Coincodex data.

HyperSDK’s achievement of a staggering 143,322 transactions per second in a controlled testing environment stands as a monumental accomplishment. It aligns with Avalanche’s vision of seamlessly interconnecting a web of highly optimized blockchains, illustrating the network’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of blockchain scalability.

According to a blog post published in February, developers can now seamlessly integrate into a lightning-fast execution environment without the daunting task of writing extensive code from scratch. This streamlined development process reduces the time required to create a customized blockchain runtime from several months to just a matter of days.

The network’s growth was underlined by significant developments across various sectors. Notably, the renowned decentralized exchange [DEX] Uniswap joined Avalanche, enriching its expanding DeFi ecosystem. Additionally, Struct Finance emerged as a newcomer, introducing decentralized structured financial products to further diversify the offerings within the Avalanche network. This ongoing momentum solidifies Avalanche’s position as a prominent player in the blockchain space.

Avalanche’s $13 Resistance Flip Despite July’s Record Snow Report

by

Despite a promising July performance highlighted by the Snow Report, Avalanche (AVAX) is grappling with a persistent decline as it struggles to break through the $13 resistance mark. As of the latest update, AVAX has plunged to $12.57, sustaining notable losses in both its daily and weekly trading charts. Furthermore, the 24-hour trading volume has dipped by 13.11%, reflecting a decrease in market activity.

Source: Coinmarketcap

Throughout the months of June and July, the $12 region emerged as a crucial support zone for Avalanche. Notably, each instance of retesting this level witnessed AVAX bouncing back to $13.5 over the past two months, underscoring its significance as a pivotal price point. This historical behavior suggests the possibility of another price reversal occurring at this juncture.

However, a price rejection at the resistance mentioned above hurdle could present an opportunity for shorting. Should this scenario materialize, traders are eyeing the $12.9 level for entry, while the range of $12.1 to $12.4 is being considered as a favorable take-profit zone.

However, the current price prediction diverges from this prevailing bearish sentiment. Technical analysis indicators on August 4, 2023, displayed overwhelmingly bullish signals, raising optimism among investors. As August progresses, Avalanche’s value will surge impressively by 116.91%, nearly reaching the $27.26 mark.

Analyzing the moving averages, AVAX is currently trading below the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), which has consistently signaled a selling pattern for the past 326 days since December 31, 2023. Similarly, the price is situated beneath the 50-day SMA, further reinforcing the prevailing sell signal.

Avalanche Achieves Record Growth in July’s Snow Report

July proved to be a monumental month for Avalanche as it celebrated remarkable achievements and advancements in its network. The Avalanche ecosystem experienced an impressive surge in activity, with over 20 million active addresses and an unprecedented milestone of one million monthly active users for the third consecutive month.

Gaming experienced a boost, too, as Solert’s Web3 initiatives found support through a newly established Subnet. Additionally, introducing “The Lords of Light” on Epic Games, complete with trading cards on the Beam Subnet, added vibrancy to Avalanche’s gaming landscape.

In a bid to foster real-world connections, the Avalanche Park Summer Creative Hang emerged, offering support for NFT-related in-person meetups and events. As Avalanche continues to ride this wave of success, the outlook remains promising for its ongoing journey.
