AAVE price looks promising

AAVE price faces a rejection by the weekly resistance level at $107.50, which roughly coincides with the 50% price retracement level at $112.02 drawn from a swing high of $154.06 on March 13 to a swing low of $69.99 on July 5, making this level a key resistance zone.

As of Thursday, AAVE retraces and trades slightly lower by 2.2% at $105.27.

If AAVE continues to retrace, it could find support at the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), hovering at $95.76. This level roughly coincides with the bullish order block area extending between $92.78 and $89.27 and the ascending trendline drawn from July 5, thus making it a key support zone.

If AAVE bounces off from $92.78, it could rally 15.5% to retest its weekly resistance at $107.50.

This bullish outlook is reinforced by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Awesome Oscillator (AO) on the daily chart, comfortably above their neutral levels of 50 and zero, respectively, signaling strong bullish momentum.

If AAVE closes above the $112.02 level, it could extend an additional 18% rally to retest its April 11 high of $132.57.

Even though on-chain metrics and technical analysis point to a bullish outlook, if AAVE's price makes a daily candlestick close below $85.75, the bullish thesis would be invalidated by creating a lower low on the daily chart. This development could see AAVE's price decline by 11% to retest its weekly support at $76.83.
