Major ETH whale '7 Siblings' borrowed $40 million USDC on Aave to buy 1,326 ETH, drawing flow trader and market attention to recent activity.

Major whale activity drives flows as broad market selloff weighs

Aave saw heightened attention after a major on-chain transaction in which the ETH whale known as '7 Siblings' borrowed $40 million USDC on Aave to purchase 1,326 ETH, a move closely observed by flow traders. Sentiment around Aave was also affected by a broad-based crypto market selloff, as highlighted by coverage of sharp declines across digital assets. Additional headlines noted the particularly steep drop in AAVE’s value during today’s trading.

Mixed momentum with strong trend as sellers dominate key levels

Momentum signals are mixed: while the daily MACD points to continued downside pressure, the ADX on both daily and weekly timeframes confirms strong trending conditions. Key technical levels include dynamic support near the Ichimoku Kijun at $202.48 and resistance at the MA-200 ($254.54). Despite oversold readings from the RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI indicating stretched declines, the BBP shows that sellers still maintain control intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator underscores the bearish momentum.

Sideways trading favored as upside probability remains low

For the coming days, the expected trading range is $223.98 to $231.01, with an average near $227.50. With only the weekly ADX flashing a buy and the probability of a sustained rebound less than 20%, further declines or stabilization are more likely than recovery. In the base case, AAVE holds within a sideways corridor near the weekly mean. A clear break above $254.54 could trigger a recovery scenario, while continued selling below $223.98 would bring the $202.48 Ichimoku support into focus.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, seasoned analyst and expert at Traders Union, sees Aave’s latest price weakness as driven by both broad crypto market sentiment and the headline-making whale activity on the platform. Karapetjanc remains fundamentally constructive given the protocol’s resilience, but he acknowledges current technicals and macro sentiment are keeping momentum subdued. Unless there’s a decisive break above $254.54, a sideways or slightly lower range appears most probable in the near term. "While oversold signals are emerging, I’m watching for stabilization or renewed buying before turning more aggressive—Aave’s long-term strength still makes it one to monitor closely as the broader market recovers."

Previously, it was noted that Aave traded below all major hourly EMAs, forming a clear bearish structure. The article also mentioned that on-chain flows have turned negative again and renewed exchange inflows drove short-term sell pressure.
