Smart Money Piled Up on AAVE: Will Price Reach $94.16?

AAVE is trading at $91.36, caught between its 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and multiple layers of resistance.

The chart shows a 'suspended animation' with price struggling to string together consecutive green closes, indicating a lack of conviction from buyers.

Momentum has flatlined, with the MACD histogram at zero, suggesting that selling pressure has been exhausted but new buying force hasn't emerged yet.

However, the stochastic setup is oversold, which historically signals mean-reversion bounces within three to five sessions, and the Bollinger Band %B reading of 0.34 indicates AAVE's price is in the lower third of its band.

The derivatives market tells a different story, with open interest climbing 1.62% in 24 hours while spot price remained stagnant, indicating new money entering positions.

Top-trader accounts are positioned 57.5% long, and funding rates at 0.0100% are neutral, meaning there's no risk of a liquidation cascade on the downside.
