AAVE slides toward channel support as downtrend deepens
AAVE is trading near $257, continuing its decline within a steep descending channel that has shaped the price action since late July. After peaking near $310, the asset has recorded consistent lower highs and lower lows, showing no meaningful signs of trend reversal.
Highlights
- AAVE trades near $256.66 within a well-defined descending channel
- RSI brushes oversold at 32.68, suggesting only weak bounce potential
- Spot netflows show consistent outflows, including -$2.64M on August 1
Price currently remains pinned below all major exponential moving averages (20/50/100/200 EMA), with immediate resistance at $259, just above the 20 EMA. Each recovery attempt has been sharply rejected at trendline resistance, reinforcing bearish structure.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 32.68, brushing the edge of the oversold zone. This low reading opens up the possibility of a minor short-term bounce, but with the RSI still well below the neutral 50 mark, there is no sign of bullish strength. Previous recoveries have failed to reclaim the $266–270 resistance band, a zone that coincides with the midpoint of the descending channel. Unless AAVE closes above this range, the broader trend remains firmly in favor of sellers. A breakdown below $252 could expose deeper supports at $245 and $240.
Netflow trend confirms persistent outflows
On-chain netflow data as of August 1 revealed a negative figure of $2.64 million, marking another day of stronger outflows from spot exchanges. This sustained distribution trend, which began in late June, shows that investors continue to reduce exposure despite the token’s drop below $300. For weeks, price managed to defy the outflow pressure, hovering around the $300 mark, but the breakdown confirms that selling momentum has caught up. The lack of meaningful inflows also suggests little interest from institutional buyers or whales at current levels.
In previous coverage, we noted AAVE's rising vulnerability once it failed to reclaim the $298–305 region. The breakdown from that level has since accelerated, and the asset is now confined within a tight bearish channel, with no technical or on-chain signals yet pointing to a reversal.
