Aave’s price has retraced from a recent high of approximately $188 to $180.51 while remaining above the $176 breakout level, keeping its broader upward structure intact. The RSI (relative strength index) was near 68, indicating strong momentum without reaching overbought territory. A break below $176 could expose support at $156-$158, while continued trading above it would preserve the current structure. Beyond price action, Aave’s cumulative deposits accelerated after 2024 and exceeded approximately $3.8 trillion by mid-2026, expanding the lending platform’s scale and competitive position. Aave is also proposing a legal foundation to hold its intellectual property, with the Phase 1 vote creating the structure without transferring existing assets; future votes would decide any such transfers.
