AAVE dropped to the key support zone

The $95 level has become a key resistance, preventing bulls from inflicting further gains after the impressive rally in January. So far, the $90 – $95.5 zone has become a key sell pressure area.
Similarly, the $73 – $77.8 is a key support zone (green) that has seen significant demand in the past retests. If the trend repeats, the retest witnessed at press time could drive demand for AAVE at the current price level. Such a demand could push AAVE toward the sell pressure zone (red).
Bulls could be boosted if the price breaks above the price of control/value area above $80 (red line) and retest it. The Fixed Range Volume Profile (VRVP) shows the traded volume over a price range and highlights the price with the highest volume (red line).
A break and pull-back retest at $80.8 could boost the uptrend to target the supply zone – a potential 11% hike.
On the contrary, bears could undermine bulls’ efforts if they sink AAVE below the support zone. Such a downswing could see AAVE drops further toward $66.
The RSI fell gently over the past few days and was below 50 at press time, reinforcing that bears have leverage in the current structure. Similarly, the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) moved southwards, showing the rally at the start of the year weakened and could experience extended consolidation or retracement.

But the dominant whale category (48% of supply) was inactive at press time. Therefore, cautious investors could wait for a pullback retest on the support zone before making moves.
