Aave (AAVE) could fall another 45% toward $50 if its latest rebound fails to reclaim a resistance level that has capped the token for nearly a year. But that may follow a historical buying opportunity for traders with a long-term outlook.
AAVE was trading near $89 on Aug. 13, remaining below its 20-week exponential moving average (20-week EMA, green) near $96.70.
AAVE briefly approached the EMA again during its latest rebound from around $60, but the subsequent pullback suggests bulls are still struggling to regain control.
That keeps the broader downside structure intact.
A consistent rejection below the 20-week EMA could send AAVE toward its next major long-term support near $49.50–$50, corresponding with the 1.0 Fibonacci retracement level.
From the current price, that would amount to a decline of roughly 44%–45%.
The $50 region also represents AAVE’s multi-year bottom area. The token repeatedly found buyers around similar levels between 2022 and 2023 before eventually beginning its recovery toward $400.
Therefore, another $50 test could develop into a long-term accumulation area if history repeats.
The bearish outlook would begin losing strength if AAVE decisively reclaims its 20-week EMA and establishes it as support.
In that scenario, the token could initially rally toward the $105–$125 region, where its previous horizontal resistance sits.
The setup consists of a left shoulder near the recent lows, a deeper head around $60, and a potential right shoulder forming around current levels.
A convincing breakout above the neckline could confirm the reversal pattern and put AAVE on course toward approximately $200.
Before reaching that target, however, bulls would have to overcome a dense cluster of long-term moving averages.
AAVE’s 50-week EMA (red) sits near $131, while the 100-week (purple) and 200-week (blue) EMAs are around $153 and $167, respectively.
Reclaiming those levels would provide stronger evidence that AAVE’s long-term downtrend is reversing.
