AVAX at $6.54 with 52W high of $55.70. 88% drawdown is brutal. Sell call seems justified.
drawdown alone doesnt justify a sell. question is whether subnets generate enough fee revenue for a comeback. so far thats a hard no
35k deployment on AVAX shows serious conviction. The subnet ecosystem is still innovative.
Avalanche got hit harder than most. Maybe it’s time to rotate to more established projects.
88% drawdown and theyre calling SELL now? where was this analysis at 40 dollars lol
88% drawdown from 55.70 to 6.54 and theyre calling it a sell signal? at some point its already priced in. subnets were supposed to be the killer app and institutional adoption never showed up
subnet_grave_ the subnet thesis died when institutions picked ETH L2s instead. Avalanche had a real shot in 2021 but lost the dev mindshare war completely
35k deployment at 6.54 is either the smartest DCA ever or pure copium. AVAX at a 5B valuation with declining TVL doesnt scream accumulation to me
