AAVE Hints A Quick Rise to $300 as Early PEPE Whale Shows Confidence

With a sudden recovery in the crypto market, the DeFi tokens are gaining traction as Bitcoin nears $91,000 mark. Among the top DeFi tokens, Aave, the 32nd biggest cryptocurrency, has increased by 25% in the past 24 hours. 

Currently, it is trading at a market price of $218 and holds a market cap of $3.29 billion. Will this intense short-term recovery lead Aave to the $300 psychological mark? Let’s find out.

AAVE Price Recovery Aims $300 Breakout

In the weekly chart, the Aave price action showcases multiple lower price rejections from the 50-week EMA line. The weekly candles showcase dominance at the 61.80% Fibonacci level, with a lower price rejection from the 50% level. 

The 50% Fibonacci level is priced at $165, while the 61.80% level is priced at $218. With the extremely long tail, the price action reveals strong bullish demand at lower levels. 

The 50, 100, and 200-week EMA lines maintain a positive alignment despite the short-term pullback. However, the MACD and signal lines have given a negative crossover, with a surge of bearish histograms. 

Nevertheless, as the token sustains above the 61.80% Fibonacci level, the chances of a new morning star pattern are significantly increasing. With a bullish reversal pattern, the uptrend in Aave will likely create a new 52-week high by crossing the $400 psychological mark. 

However, the long-term price target remains optimistic, as the 78.60% Fibonacci level at $321 is the immediate key resistance. 

Will The DeFi Token Cross $400?

As per the Fibonacci levels, a bullish continuation in the DeFi token will likely challenge the $528 resistance level, followed by a possibility to even reach the $1,000 psychological mark. On the flip side, the crucial support for the DeFi token stands at $165 followed by the $150 psychological spot.
