DeFi Revival + AAVE’s Surge: Can $400 Be the Next Stop on This Wild Ride?

Key Takeaways

Ethereum‘s strength and the booming demand for decentralized finance might just be the best combo platter for AAVE’s next big moment. Mmmm, tasty!

Guess who’s back? AAVE [AAVE] flexed its muscles and broke through the $300 barrier this week. Experts (AKA me) are calling it-next stop, $400! But don’t pop the champagne yet, this is where things took a detour in December 2024. Keep those seatbelts fastened, folks. 🍾

On Friday, August 22, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted at rate cuts. That’s like saying “Hey, here’s a cookie, enjoy!” but for the DeFi sector, and AAVE’s probably licking its lips. 🍪

The markets? Oh, they loved it. Ethereum [ETH] is getting awfully close to hitting its all-time high, just 3.1% away! Don’t tell me you’re not excited by that number. 😜

As the backbone of the DeFi universe, a boost in ETH prices and lower borrowing costs could send more cash into Aave’s lending and staking platforms. We might even see a full-blown DeFi revival in the coming months. Or maybe it’ll crash, who knows? 🤷‍♀️

New highs? Yes, but also…AAVE holders, brace yourselves

The weekly chart of Aave? Oh, honey, it’s looking like a fitness transformation montage. Early 2025 was a struggle, but look at it now, baby! We’ve come so far, and I’m getting some serious “new year, new me” vibes. 💪

The OBV hit a new high this year, signaling more buying power than your average “I bought in at the bottom” trader. 👀

The MACD is creeping up, slowly but surely. Don’t worry, no signs of a meltdown yet. That’s what we call “chill but cautiously optimistic.” 🧘‍♀️

Keep an eye on the $417 and $527 resistance levels from 2021. Those are the next milestones to break through if you’re feeling bold. But hey, no pressure. Just a casual, “let’s break $500” kind of vibe. 😉

Profit-taking, or panic selling? You decide

Warning: We have a profit-taking red flag here. 97.4% of AAVE supply is sitting in the green right now. That’s more profit than any of us have seen since…well, ever. (Did someone say “sell pressure”? 😬)

If things take a dip, $300 is your psychological support level. It’s like the “I’ll eat this ice cream and pretend everything’s fine” kind of support. 🍦

Check out the Cost Basis Distribution Heatmap for a clearer picture-$300 and $280 are where the big buys happened over the last two years. So, don’t expect a “crash and burn” kind of situation. But if we hit $390, brace for impact. 🚨

Overall, further gains seem likely-but remember, profit-taking can be like a game of musical chairs. Don’t be the one left standing without a seat. 💃
