Avalanche (AVAX) is entering a decisive phase as price action begins to outline potential paths for its next major move. With the market balancing between a short-term reaction rally and the risk of deeper downside, key price zones are now coming into focus. Rather than chasing momentum, the chart suggests a period in which patience and positioning around critical levels could determine how the next broader trend unfolds. Two Clear Paths On The Avalanche Chart: No Bias, Just Scenarios In an Avalanche update, crypto analyst Cryptosahintas explained that the current chart presents two primary scenarios, without forcing certainty on either outcome. In the first scenario, AVAX could follow the path marked by the red arrow, where price stages a short-term reaction rally toward the $22.5 area. Interestingly, the move could be followed by another pullback toward the $11 region, potentially allowing the market to reset and form a healthier rising structure over time. Related Reading: AVAX Pushes Toward $18 As Key Resistance Looms: Analyst The second scenario, represented by the black arrow, suggests a deeper initial dip toward the $8.5 zone. From there, price could recover back toward $22.5 before experiencing another retracement into the broader $8–$10 band. This type of price action could also help establish the foundation for a new upward trend. Across both scenarios, the common takeaway remains the same: these highlighted zones offer the most logical areas for positioning from a risk-to-reward standpoint. Cryptosahintas emphasized that waiting with a plan, rather than chasing price from higher levels, remains the healthier and more disciplined approach in the current market structure. Planning For Every Scenario, Not Predicting One Outcome The analyst went further to clarify personal positioning, explaining that the average entry lies within the $22–24 range. Should an intermediate rally develop, the intention is to offload positions around these levels, step back from the market, and wait patiently. After that, attention would shift toward reassessing potential opportunities in the $10–8 zone, where risk-reward conditions could become more favorable.

Staying composed and avoiding impulsive decisions is viewed as critical during sharp market moves. At the core of this approach is preparation rather than prediction. The analyst emphasized that the goal is not to declare with certainty what will happen next, but to have a predefined response for every likely outcome. Knowing in advance how to act regardless of which scenario unfolds keeps the plan disciplined, consistent, and grounded in risk management.

South Dakota has a new bill on the table that would let the state put up to 10% of certain public funds into Bitcoin. Reports say Rep. Logan Manhart filed House Bill 1155 this week, restarting an effort that stalled last year. Related Reading: PayPal Survey: 4 In 10 US Merchants Now Accept Crypto The measure would change state investment rules to give the State Investment Council explicit authority to hold Bitcoin in its portfolio. Lawmaker Files Bill For Bitcoin Reserve According to filings and public posts, Manhart’s proposal mirrors a move he tried in 2025 and keeps a clear cap on exposure: 10% of the moneys made available for investment. The bill text says the limit “may not exceed 10%” and lays out options for how the exposure could be taken, including direct holdings or regulated products. A South Dakota lawmaker is reviving a push to bring bitcoin into state finances. Republican Rep. Logan Manhart introduced House Bill 1155, which would allow the state to invest up to 10% of eligible public funds in bitcoin. It’s a renewed effort after a similar bill stalled… pic.twitter.com/hPBbiSB6zT — Timmy Shen (@timmyhmshen) January 28, 2026 The new push comes after last year’s proposal was deferred in committee. Reports note that HB 1202 was put aside during the 2025 session and did not advance, and Manhart signaled he would try again in 2026. That history matters because it shows the idea has support in some corners but also faces practical and political hurdles. What The Bill Allows Based on reports, the bill not only sets a 10% ceiling but also tries to handle custody and security concerns. It mentions requirements such as using qualified custodians or exchange-traded products, encrypted storage, and multi-signature controls. Those rules are aimed at lowering the risks that come with holding a volatile asset with public money. Supporters say Bitcoin could act as a hedge and add a new type of asset to the state’s mix. Opponents point to volatility and possible legal or accounting issues when state funds are used in this way. Related Reading: Record Pain: Bitcoin Investors Suffer $4.5B Loss, Most In 3 Years The debate will likely hinge on how the State Investment Council evaluates risk and which funds would be considered “eligible” under the bill’s language. Political And Financial Pushback There is practical pushback from fiscal watchdogs and some lawmakers who worry about public perception. Money managed for things like pensions carries duty of care. That duty was stressed last session and will be raised again now that the bill is back. The point has been made plainly and will shape committee hearings.
