Avantis’ (AVNT) price is up over 4% today, but it remains down about 18% over the past month. The decentralized derivatives project has garnered new attention following its recent listing on Robinhood. Even with the buzz, the market structure shows a split setup.

AVNT is stuck inside a tight range, and both bullish and bearish pressures are visible at the same time.

Whales Sell as TVL Drops and Volume Support Softens

The data first shows some mild bearish pressure.

Avantis’ total value locked has slipped from $119.42 million on November 4 to $109.55 million on November 13. That is a drop of 8.26% in ten days. A TVL drop often signals lighter on-chain activity, and some whales reacted to this pullback.

Whales have reduced their holdings by 17.19% over the past week, bringing their balance down to 365,439 AVNT. They sold about 75,761 AVNT during the TVL fall. It is not a large amount compared to the broader market flows, but it still reflects some hesitation from mid-sized holders.

This hesitation may also be linked to the volume trend. The On-Balance Volume line is sitting right on its rising trendline. If OBV breaks below it, it would signal early weakness in volume support behind the AVNT price.

This aligns with the small whale outflows, which could mark the onset of OBV weakening.

Mega Whales Buy as a Reversal Setup Emerges

The bullish side of Avantis crypto is much stronger. The largest holders, or mega whales, have increased their balances by 0.67% this week. That means mega whales added roughly 6.6 million AVNT, worth around $3.3 million at the current price. This is significantly larger than the whale selling and shows clear confidence from the biggest players.

The Robinhood listing may also be feeding into this shift, giving mega whales a reason to position early before any breakout attempt.

Exchange balances back this up. They have dropped 9.57% over the past week. When tokens leave exchanges, it often means retail traders and smaller holders are shifting tokens into private wallets. It supports the idea that dip-buying exists across Avantis.

Momentum also points toward a possible trend reversal. Between November 6 and November 12, the AVNT crypto price made a lower low, but the Relative Strength Index made a higher low.

RSI measures the speed of price movement, and this pattern is a standard bullish divergence. It typically occurs when a downtrend is losing its momentum. The 18% month-on-month downtrend, to be precise.

Avantis Price Still Trades in a Tight Range — But Bulls Look Slightly Stronger

The Avantis price now trades inside a narrow band between $0.63 at the top and $0.47. Today’s price, near $0.51, sits right in the middle. This tight structure means the next move can be sharp.

If buyers take control, the first major resistance is $0.72, the level that rejected the rally on November 1. A clean daily close above it can trigger a stronger recovery and confirm the bullish divergence strength.

Avantis Price Analysis: TradingView

If sellers take control, the key level to watch is $0.47, which is only 7.62% away. A breakdown would expose AVNT price to new lows, especially if OBV fails and whales extend their selling.

Right now, both sides are active. However, the bullish side appears slightly more impactful, as mega whales are accumulating millions of tokens, exchange balances are decreasing, and the RSI is signaling a potential Avantis price reversal.
