Aave drops 10.55% this week

Highlights

Aave fell 10.55% over the past week to $156.13, moving below its short-term average but holding above its long-term average.
Technical signals are mixed, with sustained downside pressure but oversold momentum giving potential for a near-term rebound.
Aave is projected to trade in a $142.38 to $170.08 range next week, with support at $147.05 and resistance at $161.26.

Governance developments and product launches reshape weekly sentiment

A proposal to allow users to borrow stablecoins on Aave V4 using native Bitcoin as collateral advanced in the protocol's governance process this week, with risk assessment and community voting still underway according to Cointelegraph. Meanwhile, Aave V4's Arc Markets product launched, connecting USD and EUR loans to shared liquidity and driving deposits on Arc blockchain above $300 million by October 12, 2026 (sources: ChainCatcher, Pluang). The Base network also saw the introduction of tokenized US stock collateral via Aave's Equities Hub, expanding borrowing options for users (source: TechFlowPost).

Mixed technicals drive volatility as oversold conditions test support

On the daily chart, the move lower shows a sustained trend, with volatility at 17.67% adding to the intensity of recent price action. Momentum signals are mixed: the MACD remains positive with a reading of 2.46, suggesting underlying buy interest, while the Stochastic RSI sits at 1.34 in the oversold zone, hinting at potential for a short-term rebound. Key levels to watch are support at $147.05 and resistance at $161.26 from the Ichimoku Kijun. Taken together, the structure indicates pressure remains to the downside, but oversold momentum could soon test resistance.

Breakout risk builds with range-bound bias into the coming week

Next week, Aave is expected to trade between $142.38 and $170.08, with a 57% probability of an increase and 43% probability of a decrease. The base case calls for choppy action within the range, centered between the key support at $147.05 and resistance at $161.26. A move above $161.26 would open up room for a stronger recovery toward the upper end of the expected range, while a drop below $147.05 could see losses extend toward the $142.38 area.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees a compelling setup for Aave (AAVE) after a challenging week that pushed the price below $156. He notes that while recent selling pressure has produced oversold daily momentum, strong fundamentals remain, with new governance proposals and product launches expanding institutional and retail use of the protocol. High-impact news — such as the proposal for native Bitcoin collateral and the launch of Arc Markets driving deposits above $300 million — reinforces a positive long-term outlook and supports growing on-chain activity. With the daily MACD still positive and Stochastic RSI deep in the oversold region, Karapetjanc expects near-term volatility but sees a window for a technical rebound. "If AAVE clears resistance at $161.26, I expect buyers to capitalize on the fresh momentum and push towards the upper end of the $142.38–$170.08 range this week."

Earlier, analysts noted that Aave's medium- and long-term outlook was underpinned by protocol developments, despite signals of short-term technical resistance. The current shift toward oversold momentum and expanding collateral options introduces fresh dynamics, making the $147.05 support and $161.26 resistance pivotal levels to gauge the next directional move.
