Over the last 12 months BTC returned -27.31% and AVAX -66.26%. Over just the last month the picture is reversed: BTC +6.96%, AVAX +44.30%. Short periods can tell a very different story from long ones, which is why picking a coin from last month's chart rarely works.
Avalanche moves about ±2.1% on a typical day against ±1.3% for Bitcoin. In the past year BTC fell as much as 53% from a peak and AVAX 81%. Bigger swings mean bigger possible gains and bigger possible losses, size your position so a fall like that wouldn't force you to sell.
The correlation of their daily moves over the past year is 0.72 (1 = always together, 0 = unrelated): they usually move together. Owning both gives you less diversification than two separate coins might suggest, when one falls, the other usually does too.
Bitcoin is the bigger network, with a market cap about 347× that of Avalanche. A lower price per coin doesn't make a coin “cheaper”: what matters is market cap, and how many new coins will still be created (BTC: capped at 21.00M; AVAX: capped at 720.00M).
Both trade on FIU-registered exchanges. Profit on either is taxed at 30% plus 4% cess, 1% TDS is deducted when you sell, and a loss on one can't be set off against a gain on the other. Guides: how to buy Bitcoin · how to buy Avalanche · best crypto apps in India.

We don't give buy or sell advice. The data shows how each has behaved, not what happens next. Many investors hold more than one coin rather than choosing; with a correlation of 0.72, they usually move together, so holding both spreads less risk than it might seem.
