Aave gains 7.30% to $117.07 today

Highlights

Aave Labs proposed 'Aave Will Win,' shifting 100% of Aave-branded product revenue to the Aave DAO treasury for expanded community control.
The proposal establishes Aave v4 as the protocol's technical foundation and requests operational funding from the DAO as Aave Labs relinquishes direct revenue streams.
AAVE trades at $117.07, below key moving averages and with dominant weekly bearish signals, likely confining price action to the $112.00–$125.00 range short-term.

DAO revenue shift expands community control amid governance overhaul

Aave Labs has proposed 'Aave Will Win,' a governance framework that seeks to redirect 100% of revenue from all Aave-branded products into the Aave DAO treasury. This marks a formal shift to a token-centric, DAO-first model, expanding community control over both protocol and off-chain product revenues. The plan includes a request for operational funding from the DAO as Aave Labs relinquishes revenue streams and designates Aave v4 as the protocol’s technical foundation.

Conflicting momentum and overextended signals drive intraday volatility

Daily momentum signals are mixed: the MACD is still bearish and the ADX signals strong downside trend strength, but most short-term oscillators show overextended readings. The RSI (37.74) and CCI (-69.32) remain in sell territory, while the Stochastic RSI is overbought at 100.00, highlighting conflicting short-term signals. Bull/Bear Power indicates seller dominance despite today’s intraday move higher. The current price trades near the session high amid heightened volatility and early bull strength, although momentum signals warn of instability.

Sideways movement within range as negative signals cap upside

For the next five trading days, AAVE is likely to move within a volatility band between $112.00 and $125.00. The probability of a near-term price increase is very low (less than 20%), as dominant weekly signals from Moving Averages, RSI, ADX, MACD, and Ichimoku all remain negative. Sideways trading in this corridor is the baseline scenario; a break above the Ichimoku Kijun ($134.78) could open the way to $140.00, while a fall below $112.00 would increase the risk of further downside toward support at $110.00.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees AAVE under persistent downside pressure in both price action and momentum. The analyst notes fundamental developments around Aave’s DAO-centric proposal, but highlights that current technical signals are still strongly bearish. He maintains a defensive outlook as negative trends persist across all timeframes. "Until AAVE reclaims $134.78, the case for a sustained recovery remains weak — for now, sideways action to possible further declines is the base case."

Previously it was reported that Aave continues to trade below key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, with momentum indicators such as MACD, ADX, and RSI confirming sustained bearish sentiment and oversold market conditions. Despite governance updates and new partnerships, technicals show strong resistance overhead, and the base-case scenario points to continued consolidation with downside risk prevailing unless buyers regain control above critical resistance levels.
