Tokenholder returns proposed as governance tensions pressure sentiment

Aave Labs has proposed distributing off-protocol revenue to AAVE token holders in response to recent governance tensions over branding, interface, and swap fees. This follows public disputes that reportedly impacted Aave’s market capitalization and has led founder Stani Kulechov to announce a forthcoming official proposal addressing the matter. The Aave team is also prioritizing expansion into real-world assets and utilizing V4’s new modular infrastructure for greater innovation and risk management.

Mixed technical signals as key supports tested amid overbought risks

Momentum indicators for AAVE are mixed: the daily MACD remains firmly bearish, and the ADX shows moderate trend strength but leans bearish on both daily and weekly timeframes. Oscillators like RSI (53.77 D1) and CCI display a mild bullish bias, yet stoch_rsi and BBP both signal overbought conditions, suggesting intraday buyer dominance but a risk of exhaustion. The Awesome Oscillator displays a neutral daily reading, offering no further trend support. Price is currently supported above the Ichimoku Kijun at $175.23, with the MA-20 serving as dynamic support and the MA-50 acting as resistance.

Low upside odds as weekly momentum signals persistent weakness

For the upcoming week, AAVE is likely to trade within a $170.00 – $195.00 volatility band relative to current levels. Given dominant sell signals across weekly MACD, ADX, RSI, and moving averages, the probability of a further price increase is low (less than 20%). AAVE may consolidate sideways just above recent support at $175–$170. A decisive bullish breakout would require a daily close above $195, while a move below $170 could trigger additional declines if momentum turns strongly negative.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Aave’s recent governance moves as a potential catalyst for renewed community confidence, even as long-term technicals stay bearish. He notes real-world asset expansion and modular upgrades as positive drivers for future value. Momentum is mixed, with intraday buyers facing resistance and overbought signals limiting upside in the short term. Karapetjanc believes price will consolidate above $170.00, but a breakout above $195.00 is needed to shift the bias. "Innovative steps from Aave Labs set a supportive tone, and a close above $195.00 could open the door for stronger gains."

Last time, analysts noted that Aave continues to trade in a strong recovery trend above its key moving averages, with bullish momentum confirmed by an elevated RSI nearing overbought territory. Holding above the $168 area maintains positive structure, while a break above $175 would signal further upside, though cautious on-chain flows indicate some ongoing profit-taking.
