AAVE price gains amid altcoin surge
AAVE has been in a downtrend for over three months and remains constrained.
However, the DeFi token has posted a slight uptick over the past week, and current prices are well above the lows of $147 reached on November 21, 2025.

AAVE price forecast
The current market outlook for cryptocurrencies aligns with broader risk asset and seasonal trends.
December has historically delivered notable gains for investors amid “Santa rallies”.
Aave’s 17% surge in the past week mirrors this outlook, even if it’s still early days.
Investors are also eyeing the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cut this week.
Bulls could sparkle above the $200 mark. However, volatility remains a concern, and support levels could be much lower.
From a technical point of view, key indicators point to short-term advantage for Aave bulls.
Price is above the critical resistance and support level at $178.
As can be seen on the chart below, buyers breached this level as the AAVE price pumped to highs of $385 between May and August 2025.
However, declines from the year-to-date peak also saw bears plunge the token’s value past $178 to lows of $147 in November. Prior to this, AAVE had crashed to $128 on October 10, 2025.
This means the token is in a descending channel.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading currently hovers at 52. It’s upsloping and indicative of likely further room for upside movement. Bulls can do this without immediately entering the overbought territory.
Notably, the token recently broke above its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) as bulls rallied.
This happened as part of a classic bullish confirmation move that has historically preceded significant upside action.
Aave’s daily chart shows the 50EMA is at $201.
Bearish risks, such as a Bitcoin correcting below $90,000, could cap gains at this mark.
However, bulls riding an upward wave could break higher, with $227 and $320 key levels.
