As the alt’s price fell, investors’ confidence quickly turned negative. At press time, AAVE’s weighted sentiment was -0.237.
With very few anticipating any price growth in the interim, AAVE’s supply on exchanges has climbed as many investors have taken to distributing their AAVE holdings.
Conversely, within the same period, AAVE’s supply outside exchanges has fallen, indicating that more investors have been selling than they have been holding.
