Read Aave’s [AAVE] Price Prediction 2023-2024

AAVE on a daily chart

At press time, AAVE traded at $83.34. In the last week, the alt’s price was severely volatile and oscillated between $86 and $88. In fact, at some point during the week, AAVE traded at a low of $80.

An assessment of AAVE’s Bollinger Bands (BB) on the daily chart confirmed that the price volatility might be decreasing. The alt’s price was spotted moving away from the upper band towards the middle band. 

However, it should be noted that a further price movement toward the lower band indicates increased selling pressure and a potential oversold signal. The reading of the token’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) lent credence to this position.

While AAVE’s price oscillated in a tight range in the last week, its CMF declined. Still, on a downtrend at press time, the CMF was 0.07. 

When an asset’s price oscillates in a tight range and its CMF declines, it may indicate a shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish.

In other words, there is an absence of strong buying pressure and an increase in selling pressure, indicating a bearish trend in the market.
