Shortly after, another whale 0xeBb4 borrowed 2.5 million GHO and bought 10,131 AAVE tokens. This wallet now holds 120,513 AAVE, worth around $29.8 million.

These transactions came amid a broader sideways market, hinting that smart money is entering ahead of a potential breakout.

AAVE Price Outlook

On the daily AAVE price chart, the RSI is currently near 54, suggesting room for upward movement. A climb in RSI would strengthen the bullish case.

Meanwhile, Bollinger Bands suggest consolidation near the mid band (20-day SMA) with resistance around the upper band at $280. AAVE is strongly holding the lower band, which offers support around $235, reflecting underlying buying interest.

However, the MACD is currently showing a bearish crossover with red histogram bars. This indicates that short-term momentum may remain under pressure unless bulls reclaim $260 quickly.

AAVE also appears to be forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern on the daily chart, usually a bullish signal. The neckline appears around the $280-$290 zone, which also aligns with Bollinger Band resistance.

Analysts believe that a breakout above the neckline could trigger a rally toward the pattern’s target near $440.
