Avalanche’s C-Chain posts 2nd-highest month on record as AVAX price eyes breakout to $33

AVAX price eyes a potential breakout toward $33, fueled by growing on-chain activity on Avalanche’s C-Chain and a bullish technical pattern.

Avalanche’s C-Chain closed August with 35.8 million transactions, marking the second-highest monthly total in the blockchain’s history.

For context, the C-Chain is Avalanche’s smart contract chain, while the network also includes the X-Chain, which handles asset transfers, and the P-Chain, which manages validators and staking. Together, these chains allow Avalanche (AVAX) to process transactions efficiently, support a wide range of applications, and maintain network security.

The surge on the C-Chain reflects growing activity on Avalanche’s smart contract platform, because it is specifically optimized for Ethereum-compatible smart contracts, enabling fast, low-fee transactions for DeFi applications, NFT projects, and other dApps.

How does this affect AVAX price?

The growing activity on the C-Chain can have positive implications for AVAX price. As more users interact with smart contracts, DeFi platforms, and NFT projects, the demand for AVAX increases because the token is required to pay network fees and participate in staking.

Meanwhile, AVAX price is currently exhibiting a bullish technical setup, forming an ascending triangle pattern with a relatively flat resistance level around $27. Yesterday, AVAX price bounced strongly off the ascending trendline support. The uptrend has continued into today, with AVAX edging closer to the resistance level and currently trading around $25. If it breaks out with strong volume and follow-through, the measured move suggests a potential upside target around $33.
