AAVE is holding above its 50-day EMA at $90.80 as its near-term recovery continues.<\/span><\/li>\n
Deposits in Aave V3 on Monad increased by more than $500 million over the past month.<\/span><\/li>\n
Aave V4 deposits reached a record high above $350 million.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Aave (AAVE) is extending its mild recovery on Tuesday, trading above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $90.80.<\/span><\/p>\n
The recovery comes amid increased adoption of Aave\u2019s lending protocols. Aave V3\u2019s deployment on the Monad Layer 1 blockchain attracted more than $500 million in deposits over the past month, alongside more than $215 million in active loans.<\/span><\/p>\n
Despite the rise in protocol activity, weak derivatives data and bearish momentum indicators continue to cloud AAVE\u2019s price outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n
Aave V4 deposits reach record high<\/span><\/h2>\n
Deposits in Aave V4 have surpassed $350 million, establishing a new record after increasing by more than $100 million over the past 30 days.<\/span><\/p>\n
The growth suggests rising adoption and may be partly driven by an attractive USDC borrowing offer. Holders of cbBTC, WBTC, WETH and wstETH can reportedly access a borrowing rate of negative 0.2%.<\/span><\/p>\n
The increase in deposits across Aave V3 on Monad and Aave V4 highlights growing use of the protocol, even as demand for the AAVE token remains subdued among retail traders.<\/span><\/p>\n
AAVE is losing momentum in the derivatives market despite the growth in protocol deposits.<\/span><\/p>\n
Futures open interest declined by more than 6% over the previous 24 hours to $302.15 million, according to <\/span>CoinGlass<\/span>. The drop reflects a contraction in the value of outstanding futures contracts and suggests traders are reducing their exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n
AAVE\u2019s funding rate also fell below zero to negative 0.0046%. Negative funding indicates a bearish tilt, with short-position holders paying traders holding long positions.<\/span><\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the 24-hour long-to-short ratio declined to 0.9372, showing that active short positions outnumber longs and reinforcing the cautious market outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n
AAVE technical outlook: Could the price fall to $70?<\/span><\/h2>\n
AAVE is hovering above $90 at the time of writing on Tuesday, maintaining a mildly constructive near-term position above its 50-day EMA at $90.80.<\/span><\/p>\n
However, the token remains well below its 200-day EMA at $112.75, suggesting that its broader recovery potential remains limited.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator continues to decline below its signal line, reflecting persistent bearish momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Relative Strength Index stands near 49 and is trending lower while AAVE\u2019s price forms a modest upward trend. This bearish divergence suggests that buying momentum is weakening despite the recent price recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 50-day EMA at $90.80 is the key immediate support level. A decisive daily close below this moving average could accelerate selling pressure and trigger a roughly 20% decline toward the June 18 low of $70.65.<\/span><\/p>\n
The psychological $100 level represents AAVE\u2019s first major resistance. This area sits close to the May 10 high of $103.51, creating a broader resistance zone between $100 and $103.51.<\/span><\/p>\n
A sustained break above this region would strengthen the bullish case and could allow AAVE to target the 200-day EMA at $112.75.<\/span><\/p>\n
