Avalanche Looks To Capitalize On GameFi Segment – Will This Give AVAX Some Boost?

Avalanche (AVAX) peaked at $20.31 on November 6 as it gave its best to recover from the bearish trend that engulfed the broader crypto market towards the tail-end of October and the opening days the current month.

However, on November 12, the cryptocurrency experienced a severe price correction that pulled it all the way down to $12.51. The following day, the altcoin made an immediate bounce-back as it reclaimed the $15 marker.

After that, Avalanche was once again on a downward trend that made it struggle to even just climb at $14. At the time of this writing, according to tracking from Coingecko, the 20th ranked digital currency in terms of market capitalization is changing hands at $13.50.

Over the last seven days, the asset has declined by more than 15% while during the past 30 days, its value dropped by 14.4%.

As it turns out, even an impressive growth in GameFi segment of the blockchain space is not enough to stop the bleeding for AVAX. 

As Crypto Market Suffers, Avalanche Notches Growth Elsewhere

According to data shared on Twitter by Avalanche Talk, 10 GameFi projects running on the AVAX blockchain tallied significant increases in volume over the past week.

Province was the top gainer, posting an impressive 1,481.77% increase in volume in just a matter of seven days. Owloper (290.98%) was at second. Rounding up the top five were Dragon Crypto (279.76%), Hoppers Game (118.39%) and Step App (91.87%).

Meanwhile, RaceX (68.42%), Crabada (44.02%), XANA Metaverse (43.38%), Domi Online (41.42%) and BetSwirl (7.77%) also made the top 10-list of the indicator which aims to show how well a project is performing in a particular ecosystem.

Although there is a glaring gap between the increase in volume recorded by the top and least gainer, the most important takeaway is that despite the crypto market being painted in red once again, these projects under the umbrella of the Avalanche ecosystem managed to perform relatively well.

This also served as a confirmation of the notion that the GameFi segment of the vast blockchain industry has already started its rapid growth.

No Immediate Impact Yet On AVAX Price

Much like the case of the Shiba Eternity game that was launched in hopes of helping Shiba Inu push its trading price to higher levels, these games running on the Avalanche network currently has little to no effect at all in terms of price trajectory.

The reason for this is that all of these games, and the GameFi segment in its entirety, is still too young to push demands for crypto assets in levels high enough to move an asset’s (in this case AVAX’s) spot trading prices up.

Still, this could prove to be a solid foundation that could help Avalanche and its AVAX token soar to greater heights in the near future.

PancakeSwap Watch: CAKE Trading Volume Spikes Over 50% In 24 Hours

PancakeSwap (CAKE), just like any other cryptocurrency, has had its share of ups and downs.

  • PancakeSwap registers over 53% increase in 24-hour trading volume
  • PancakeSwap among trending BNB projects today
  • CAKE’s next resistance level could be at $5

Just two months after it was launched on September 2020, the token hit its all-time low to date. Back then, it was trading at just merely $0.19.

Today, a quick glance of data provided by CoinGecko shows the 68th ranked crypto by market capitalization trading at $4.80. It is way below its $43.96-all-time high that was attained on April 30, 2021.

CAKE might have lost 89% of that impressive trading value, but that does not necessarily mean the token is not commanding strong interest among traders.

If anything, current data shows Christmas came early for the digital asset.

PancakeSwap Outperforms Many Cryptocurrencies

The crypto market is continuing to deal with bearish conditions, but CAKE was able to pull off an impressive feat – close the day and the week in green and outperform many of its competition.

Over the last seven days, the governance token of PancakeSwap was able to increase its value by 9.4% and is one of the few digital assets to be “on the green” in today’s market.

Its price recovery is not the only thing that is impressive about CAKE right now. Its 24-hour trading volume is also standing mighty strong.

In fact, there was a 52% increase in the token’s trading volume, even reaching over $55 million before slightly reverting to above $51 million at the time of this writing.

Even with that, PancakeSwap has shown some impressive leaps for the past week.

Will The Token Sell Like Real Pancakes?

If its most recent trading volume is any kind of indication, the digital currency, by the looks of it, actually sold like pancakes.

After all, high trade volumes often denote “high retail excitement” and in crypto space, this might work wonders for an asset’s price.

Over the past week, CAKE placed high on the watch list of crypto investors and is among the trending BNB projects.

The PancakeSwap bulls, though, needs to capitalize on this momentum in order to sustain price level of above $4.50 as this will lead to $5 as the next resistance level.

If the pressure for buyers remains strong, CAKE’s short-term trajectory could be a sweet one.
