User deposits surge as V4 protocol drives adoption momentum

Aave has surpassed $200 million in deposits on its new V4 protocol deployed on Ethereum, marking a significant commitment of capital following its recent launch, according to Cryptobriefing. The V4 upgrade introduced a hub-and-spoke liquidity design, enabling a doubling of total deposits within a month and highlighting sharp uptake from users. With active loans reaching $60 million and Grayscale listing Aave among the top 15 onchain revenue-generating decentralized applications, these developments collectively underscore robust adoption momentum and increased protocol utility within the DeFi ecosystem.

Overbought momentum dominates as Aave tests intraday resistance levels

On the hourly timeframe, AAVE/USD trades above the MA-20 at $77.42 and the MA-50 at $74.42, while remaining below the daily MA-200 at $117.18. Immediate support is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun level at $77.38. Momentum readings are notably strong as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) both signal buying strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and Bull/Bear Power all point to overbought conditions, indicating strong buyer dominance intraday. The Awesome Oscillator also supports this bullish momentum, although the cluster of overbought signals suggests the risk of a near-term pullback.

Rangebound outlook prevails as price eyes consolidation with upside risk

For the next two to three trading days, AAVE/USD is forecast to trade within the $80.93 to $86.04 range, a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The base case expects price action to consolidate inside this corridor, with a high likelihood of further upward movement and minimal probability of a significant downward retracement. Should the price break above resistance, additional gains are possible, while a decline below the Ichimoku Kijun at $77.38 would open a short-term bearish scenario.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Aave’s recent surge in deposits on the V4 protocol as a sign of accelerating adoption and strong user confidence. He notes that Grayscale’s recognition, robust protocol metrics, and technical momentum reinforce a constructive outlook for AAVE. Positive sentiment and increasing utility should support the current uptrend, even as overbought signals may prompt brief consolidations. "Aave’s fundamental growth and decisive inflows suggest its momentum can extend, with the protocol’s expanding footprint placing it firmly among DeFi’s leaders."

Previously it was reported that Aave was experiencing mixed momentum, with bullish short-term signals offset by persistent resistance on higher timeframes. The latest surge above key moving averages and accelerated capital inflows into V4 strengthen the outlook, but traders should monitor for potential volatility if buyer exhaustion triggers a corrective pullback.
