AAVE Price Eyes $200 Push as Buyers Conclude Two-Year Accumulation

The AAVE price surged 3% during the Sunday training session, defying the low volatility momentum in the broader crypto market. This high-momentum rally pushed the asset to a peak of $162.5, a level not seen since May 2022. This movement indicates a significant breakout from the two-year accumulation phase, signaling the potential rally to $200.

AAVE Price Gears Up for $200 Surge After Two Years of Accumulation

Defying the ongoing consolidation trend in crypto markets, the AAVE price showcased a sustained recovery since July 2024 with new higher-high and higher-low formations in the daily chart. The bullish upswing uplifted the asset from $71 to $158, registering a growth of 123%. Consecutively, the market cap surged to $2.364 billion.

With an intraday gain of 5%, the AAVE price surged to $162.46 high, a level last recorded on May 5th, 2022. This upswing signals the end of a two-year accumulation trend, also highlighted by the founder of DefianceCapital, Arthur. According to his tweet, this breakout could signal a potential all-time high (ATH) reclaim, marking a significant moment in the ongoing DeFi resurgence.

If the daily candle closes above $153, the buyers could drive a 25% upswing to challenge the $200 resistance, followed by an extended rally to $260.

A positive alignment between the daily Exponential moving average (20, 50, 100, and 200) indicates a high momentum in action. 

According to Santiment data, the percentage of AAVE held by top addresses has steadily climbed to 55%. While a high value may signal centralization risk, it also indicates an accumulation trend among large holders and their confidence in future trends.

Moreover, the relatively low supply of AAVE on exchanges suggests reduced selling pressure, which is often a bullish signal, as fewer tokens are available for immediate sale.

On the contrary, if the AAVE price fails to sustain the $153 resistance breakout, the sellers could drive a bearish pullback to 20-or-50-day EMA.
