Treasury inflows climb as governance changes weigh on sentiment

Aave’s active governance saw TokenLogic propose adjustments to reserve factors across 54 markets, increasing the share of borrower interest directed to the DAO treasury and potentially raising annual revenue by about $3.5 million. The proposal includes reducing DAI supplier yields on Polygon from 75% to 30% of borrower interest. Separately, Aave V4 set a new record with over $1.75 billion in deposits as of November 13, 2026, and the V3.8 upgrade with enhanced reentrancy protection was deployed across 15 markets, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, points to a sharp 11.37% drop in AAVE as a sign of structural weakness. He notes governance changes have raised treasury inflows but slashed supplier yields, further eroding sentiment. Technicals are decisively bearish, with price remaining below all major moving averages and momentum deeply negative. Even recent protocol upgrades have not reversed the prevailing sell pressure. "Any rally attempt is likely to fail unless AAVE can reclaim $111.33 with strong volume," Kharitonov warns.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees opportunity amid Aave's governance-driven treasury enhancements and V4's record deposits. He emphasizes growing DAO revenue potential and continued protocol innovation as drivers of long-term value. Despite short-term price pressure, he is confident that fundamental shifts lay groundwork for resurgence. "Innovative updates and treasury growth point to AAVE offering upside setups for forward-thinking investors," Karapetjanc says.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, observes persistent downside but also notes oversold indicators in AAVE/USD. Momentum measures remain bearish, yet exhaustion signals suggest a pause could develop near $81.04. He sees potential for tactical rebounds if resistance at $111.33 is tested. "A contrarian long trade could emerge if selling subsides and support holds," Mehta advises.

Technical weakness intensifies as momentum signals show seller exhaustion

AAVE/USD trades well below its MA-20 ($128.12), MA-50 ($148.01), and MA-200 ($109.88), signaling sustained downside pressure across short, medium, and long-term trends. The nearest resistance is the near-term ceiling at $101.42, while the forecast band bottom at $81.04 acts as the nearest floor. The bullish alignment of MA-50 versus MA-200 confirms long-term trend structure, but current positioning reflects broad weakness. Momentum signals are firmly bearish with the MACD at -9.67 and the Average Directional Index (ADX) at 26.74, both pointing to a sell bias. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is neutral at 32.02. The Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) are in oversold territory at 0 and -219.46, respectively. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) at -9.46 reflects dominant seller control intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator is also aligned with the sell trend. Oscillator readings highlight selling exhaustion, potentially setting up a near-term pause in the decline.

Earlier, analysts noted that Aave was experiencing persistent downside pressure, with technical indicators highlighting continued vulnerability amid sustained declines. This latest analysis both strengthens that view with additional evidence from the recent governance-driven drop and emphasizes that a decisive move below $81.04 would increase downside risk, making this level critical for traders to monitor in the coming sessions.
