Avalanche (AVAX) trades at $6.46, down 3.2% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $2.8B, the 33-largest in crypto. Over a year it is -75% (down), and it sits -96% from its all-time high. Total value locked on this chain is $419.3M, or 0.15x its market cap. On tradability, the book is thin, so incoming money moves the price easily. Taken together, the overall heat score is 26 (COOL). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Far below its all-time high
Trading -96% from its all-time high. Recovering that ground would take a substantial return of demand — and a discount this large usually has a reason worth checking.

Supply Who controls the supply
Of the maximum supply of 720,000,000 AVAX, 60% is on the market today. 64% has been issued so far; the remaining 36% is still to come from future issuance — that is future dilution waiting to happen.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
26
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 60 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 26. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate) gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
47
→ The trend is flat — no clear direction yet.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
100
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
30
→ Little capital is locked relative to market cap, or the asset is outside TVL coverage.
Supply lightness
93
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → No public code updates in the last four weeks. Development may have stalled, or it may be happening in private repositories.

Scheduled future token unlocks, as compiled by DefiLlama.

Reference / calculator Dilution simulator (run it on your own assumptions)
This is a calculator you drive. Every number below follows from the assumptions you set — it is not our price forecast and not a recommendation. Unlocked tokens are not necessarily sold; the defaults are one illustration among many.
Assume the unlocked tokens reach the market, and see the theoretical impact of that supply dilution on price.
Move the sliders: more selling = larger impact, more absorption = smaller impact. The impact is a rough approximation that assumes added supply dilutes price linearly, all else equal.

This simplifies price to "dilutes in proportion to added supply, all else equal". Real prices move on flows, narrative and macro. It is not a single forecast.Sources: unlock schedule from DefiLlama; supply and price from CoinGecko. Information only, not investment advice.
