AAVE Soars 18% Amidst Adverse Market Conditions – Details

With the general sentiment in the market cooling down, AAVE scores a win as it maintains high profitability even as the market dips slightly. According to CoinGecko, the token is up over 18% since last week, a sign that AAVE is continuing the market’s bullishness despite the latter grinding to a near stop. 

AAVE is looking to expand the reach of its operations with a proposal that sees to activate the Aave v3 on zkSync, leveraging the latter’s rollup capabilities to keep transactions cheap for users. 

Aave v3’s activation on zkSync is part of a long-term deployment of Aave v3 on the zkSync chain. It was first outlined back on June 11th, citing zkSync’s scalability and efficiency while “maintaining the security and decentralization of the Ethereum mainnet… Deposit and borrowing activities can greatly benefit from the reduced transaction costs and increased throughput offered by zkSync.”

Once activated, users of Aave can expect low transaction fees and fast finalization which helps improve user experience while enhancing the network’s scalability. 

The voting process for the proposal is still ongoing, but the general consensus at the moment is an outstanding “Yes” for the community with nearly 47,000 votes in favor of activation. However, the proposal needs 320,000 votes to pass, giving more time for users to weigh in the pros and cons of the activation. 

As of writing, AAVE returned to its pre-August level at $110.43, opening the potential of reaching $124 in the short term. But this also opens the question of whether the crypto has momentum to reach this price target. 

The $105-$115 price range opens the door to higher levels once bullishness resumes. With the market stagnating after a couple of days of bullish action, we might see the coin rest on this price level before a continuation rally occurs next week. 

However, this movement is hinging on the probability that the market resumes its bull run. If the market sentiment continues to encourage selling, we might see the token return to pre-$100 levels in the coming days, possibly to the $93 floor price. 

But the current relative strength index (RSI) figures suggest that AAVE still has some wiggle room to squeeze some short-term gains. Along with improving macroeconomic factors, we might see another wave of capital inflow from budding retail investors trying the market out for some time. 

Investors and traders should be positive within the coming days, as the token stabilizes around the current price range to retain momentum for the long term.
