This means that the total AAVE held by the whale after this transaction will be 355,093 tokens, valued at about $59.15 million based on the current market value.

It should be noted that the wallet also holds about $30 million in debt. This could be due to the leveraged nature of the wallet. This means that the whale’s subsequent actions will be worth keeping an eye on.

AAVE Eyes Full Bullish Reversal as Key Support Holds

AAVE is displaying strong indications that it is about to go fully bullish. It has managed to hold onto its key support level around $165, and currently it appears to be about to breach the key resistance in the overall downward trend. It is currently trading around $172 and is ready to move higher.

Technical analysts are quite optimistic on both a short-term and long-term scale. On a short-term scale, the token may target $265 if it continues to move along its current trajectory.

Moreover, if it manages to break out successfully, it may reach $400 in the coming months. Due to buying pressure on critical points along with reachable points of resistance, the asset is turning out to be one of the most observed altcoins.
