- AAVE dropped below the March swing low of $65
- Short-term selling pressure for AAVE eased at press time
Aave [AAVE] has been oscillating between the $60 – $65 price range in the past five days. The narrow range followed a breach below the March swing low of $65 on 8 May. Bitcoin [BTC] reclaimed the $27k price zone at press time, offering altcoins little recovery hope.

The mild bullish momentum after the BTC move boosted AAVE to target the late February/April range low of $65. However, the $65 range low could become a key obstacle that must be cleared for bulls to gain leverage.
Will the bulls clear the obstacle?

Price action was below 20 and 100- Exponential Moving Average (EMA), reiterating sellers still had the upper hand at press time. In addition, the range low of $65 could offer resistance to bulls’ efforts, especially if BTC fails to stay above $27k.
The price rejection at $65 could see AAVE drop and retest the lower support level of $60. Any breach of the $60 level could sink AAVE to $56 or the January swing low of $51. These levels can act as short-selling targets in such a downswing scenario.
Conversely, the above thesis will be invalidated if AAVE close above $65. Such a decisive daily candlestick close above range lows will reaffirm bulls’ rising influence. However, they’ll have to clear the obstacles at 20-EMA ($67.2) and 100-EMA ($73.2) to aim at the late February/April range highs of $84.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) rebounded slightly above the 25 mark, showing a little buying pressure in the past few hours. On the other hand, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) eased after rebounding from the zero mark, highlighting that capital inflows eased.
