AAVE surged 11.25% from the $86.26 region toward the critical $145.55 resistance, trading at $142.19 at the time of writing after decisively clearing the previous $102.84 resistance. Trading volume reached $770.74 million, while buyer-dominated 90-day Taker CVD indicated aggressive futures demand. Spot markets recorded $409.03K in net outflows on Aug. 24, ending three days of inflows and reducing immediate exchange supply, although one negative session did not yet establish a sustained withdrawal trend. Technical indicators remained bullish, with the DMI, ADX and MACD supporting continued buyer control. A decisive daily close above $145.55 and a successful retest could open a path toward the larger $180 resistance area, while rejection could lead to consolidation or a pullback toward $102.84.
