The USD value crossed $2.2 billion in late May, while AVAX-denominated TVL moved past 70 million tokens.

The improvements follow changes introduced by the Octane upgrade, which reduced friction for both users and applications. The numbers point to a growing user base and stronger project engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>AVAX Price Builds Momentum Near $27<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/avalanche-avax-breakout-imminent-36-target-if-27-cracks\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avalanche (AVAX)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was priced at $27 as of press time. It has gained 9% over the last 24 hours, with a 7-day increase of 4%. Trading volume stands at just under $1 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the token has been moving within a tight range over recent weeks, with buyers defending key support levels. If the price holds above $27, analysts expect the market to test the $30 mark next. Current trends suggest that on-chain growth is starting to reflect in the token\u2019s performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-term chart data shows that AVAX is testing a descending trendline that has been in place since late 2021. Price action is currently trading on the line of this resistance area. This structure also includes a rounded bottom pattern from 2022 to 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A move above the trendline could open the door to a stronger price push. Chart analyst Smith sees a potential climb toward $140 if volume steps in. This would represent nearly an eightfold gain from current levels. While the breakout is not confirmed, traders are tracking the setup closely as altseason activity increases.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_406135\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-406135\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gw8AmaAWAAAW6Nc.jpeg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-406135\" src=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gw8AmaAWAAAW6Nc.jpeg\" alt=\"AVAX price chart\" width=\"1200\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gw8AmaAWAAAW6Nc.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gw8AmaAWAAAW6Nc-300x164.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gw8AmaAWAAAW6Nc-1024x558.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gw8AmaAWAAAW6Nc-768x419.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gw8AmaAWAAAW6Nc-50x27.jpeg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-406135\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoSmith0x\/status\/1949777856617189847\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/avax-on-fire-traders-target-140-as-avalanche-defi-heats-up\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">AVAX on Fire: Traders Target $140 as Avalanche DeFi Heats Up<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-433650-5559317.cloudwaysapps.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR Avalanche DeFi TVL rose to $1.5 billion, driven by faster speeds and lower fees following the upgrade.
