AAVE Price Eyes $150 Despite Million in Liquidation, Will Bulls Make it?

AAVE price outperforms the crypto market uncertainty by an 8% jump to $125 during the Tuesday trading session. The buying momentum can be attributed to whale accumulation and on-chain expansion, projecting the potential for higher recovery.

AAVE Price Rally Backed By Whale Buying and Onchain Expansion

The cryptocurrency market is still recovering from the major sell-off witnessed during July and early August. Amid the correction, the crypto-leading platform AAVE recorded a massive liquidation of $260 Million, according to Kaiko analytics. While such liquidation typically bolsters a prolonged correction, AAVE price sparked an immediate recovery, indicating the investor’s interest in its discounted value.

This accumulation thesis gained traction as the Onchain data tracker showed a recent accumulation of 31,407 AAVE ( worth $3.92M) by two whales. Despite a 28% weekly growth in AAVE, these heavy transactions hint at the potential for further rally.

Moreover, the recovery coincides with a notable surge in active address activity. Data from intotheblock shows the metric surge to a three-month high, indicating growing user engagement and network activity. This increase in active addresses suggests more participants are entering the market, potentially fueling further price momentum for AAVE.

Key Resistance Breakout Hints Prolong Recovery Ahead

Amid the last two weeks’ recovery, the AAVE price bounced from $90 to $125, registering a 28% growth. This recovery, backed by increasing volume, highlights the trader’s conviction to enter a long trader.

The AAVE price is up 8% today to give a decisive breakout from the $118 resistance. The Average Directional Index (ADX) uptick to 19% accentuates the recovery is in the early stage and could drive an extended recovery.  If the daily candle closes, the buyers could gain suitable support to lead a 23% rally to target $153.

On the contrary, altcoin has departed from fast-moving exponential moving averages (EMA) such as 20 and 50. This often indicates an over-extended rally, which needs a short correction to recuperate the bullish momentum.

Therefore, the AAVE price may revert from the $132 resistance and revisit the $110 floor.
