- On the contrary, technical analysis suggested a potential rally for AAVE
There has been an aggressive sell-off of 11.27% in the AAVE market over the past 24 hours. However, this recent downturn may not end anytime soon as other market developments point to a continued decline in the charts.
And yet, the technical analysis pointed to a possible turnaround, showing that AAVE is at a crossroads. Therefore, AMBCrypto analyzed AAVE’s potential future moves, in light of these conflicting indicators.
Investor withdrawal is driving AAVE’s decline
According to DeFiLlamathere has been a notable decline in the Total Value Locked (TVL) in AAVE. What this means is that investors are withdrawing from the protocol.
In fact, AAVE’s TVL had fallen to $11.941 billion at the time of writing. If these trends continue, AAVE will likely see further declines.
Here, TVL measures the total value of assets deposited within decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. Figures for this often represent total market participation and capital deployment.
