Looking at technical indicators
A look at AAVE’s price movement since dropping to a two-year low in June 2022 shows that it has broken past key resistance levels.
AAVE has tested the 0.618 Fibonacci level of $112 twice and held the price above this zone.
The token has also tested another key resistance at $130, and if it breaks through, the next target will be a two-year high at $154.
Since dropping from the March 2024 highs, AAVE has made a double-bottom formation. This is usually a bullish reversal pattern preceded by a significant rally.
The token has also broken above the neckline of the double bottom pattern, paving the way for a rally to $154.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 74 indicated that strong buying pressure was behind AAVE’s rally.
While the RSI is headed towards overbought regions, there is still room for more gains before a potential correction. The RSI peaked at 86 during previous rallies before short-term traders took profits.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is above the signal line, which is also bullish. The MACD histogram bars have grown longer since the 15th of August, reflecting stronger bullish sentiment.
As long as the MACD histogram bars grow longer on surging buying activity, the rally is likely to continue.
