AAVE May Increase Growth by 15%
The daily chart of AAVE/USDT shows a W-shaped formation. AAVE is trading at $99.41 at the time of writing, and the DeFi token is likely to continue its gains and move up to $114.74, a key resistance level. This would represent a 154% gain for AAVE.
The token faces resistance at the upper boundary of the fair value gap (FVG) at $103. The relative strength index (RSI) indicator has returned to 50, a neutral level, meaning AAVE lacks any directional momentum.

On the other hand, AAVE may find support in the imbalance zone between $86.17 and $88.20 in case of a price correction of the DeFi token.
