Analysts predict DeFi rally in 2022
Crypto analysts have noted that DeFi tokens are rallying in response to the increasing on-chain activity and capital inflow in the ecosystem. Institutional investors and large-wallet traders have poured capital into Aave, Curve Dao, Sushi and Yearn Finance.
The four DeFi protocols have posted three-digit growth over the past year. @toptickcrypto, a pseudonymous crypto analyst has predicted further growth in DeFi protocol prices. Alongside spike in prices, there is a spike in number of active users and value locked in the protocol.
Defi coins didn't stop working because of a defi bear market. They just reached really high market caps and growth stalled. When coins appeared with lower caps and higher growth ( $SPELL, $CVX, etc) those coins did well.

Always opportunity when market cap low and growth high!
Over the past two weeks, Aave price has posted over 50% gains. The AAVE/USD pair has rallied over the past few weeks, breaking out of the downtrend. Analysts believe that in the short-term, an RSI breakout or making $300 the support will imply a continuation of the uptrend.
$AAVE has a lot to prove at this point. Too early to say if "this time is different", price action >$300 is going to be telling. https://t.co/SLaOzsOMTS
