In less than four days (19-23 October), AAVE’s bullish streak saw more than 38% gains after hitting July levels at $85.  

Over the weekend, the RSI remained in the overbought zone, highlighting the intense buying pressure behind the altcoin. The OBV has also improved since mid-September, underscoring the steady increase in demand for AAVE over the same period. 

At press time, price action had cleared the $70 and $75 hurdles, but was yet to bypass the $85 resistance. Notably, the $85 level was a July high price zone. The next bullish target was the bearish order block (OB) and the pre-FTX level of $93.4 – $98.4 (red). 

A rejection at $85 could inflict a pullback to the price imbalance and FVG (Fair Value Gap) on the daily chart of $71.2 – $78.3 or the $70 psychological level.

For perspective, high liquidation zones indicated risk levels for leveraged traders, and prices tend to hit these zones due to liquidity hunt. 

Therefore, a pullback could head to the high liquidation level of $76, which was within the FVG on the charts. So, a retracement could ease around $76 should AAVE falter at the overhead hurdles.
