Tron Weekly reports that the Kenya National Examinations Council has integrated Avalanche to verify digital academic certificates, marking a new government application for the chain. This implementation allows for secure, independent verification of credentials, reducing reliance on paper and manual processes while fighting forgery. The move highlights Avalanche's broader efforts to demonstrate real-world utility beyond financial use cases.
Following this development, AVAX price action has entered a consolidation phase after a strong rally in September. As of October 2, the token traded between $10.45 and $11.32. Analysts are watching key levels, with support identified around $10.50 to $11 and resistance at $12.
Crypto With Gopal identified a bullish pennant pattern on the 4-hour chart, targeting a $16 breakout if current support holds. The outcome of this consolidation will determine whether buyers sustain the previous advance or if selling pressure resumes.
How the market reacted

AVAX is currently trading at $10.80, with spot volume reaching $67.8 million over the last 24 hours. Short-term buying pressure is slightly elevated, with a 52.1% buy ratio in the last hour compared to a 49.7% ratio over four hours. However, the one-hour volume delta is positive at $55,537, while the four-hour delta is negative at -$42,809, indicating that immediate momentum is mixed. Over the full day, the buy ratio stands at 55.4%, supported by a strong cumulative volume delta of +$5.8 million. This suggests that while hourly fluctuations exist, the broader 24-hour trend remains net buying, with buyers controlling the flow for 12 of the last 24 hours.
The latest daily buy ratio of 47.7% sits at the 28th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.3% - weaker buying than most days.
