A set of Fibonacci retracement and extension levels were plotted based on the July rally from $71 to $106.7. The 50% retracement level at $88.94 was tested as support on the 24th of July before the bulls reversed the losses.
Over the past nine days, AAVE surged higher and made a bullish market structure break in the 1-day timeframe. The daily RSI was at 65, signaling hefty upward momentum but no overbought conditions yet.
There could be more room to expand, with the OBV also trending higher to underline steady buying. The Fibonacci extension levels at $129 and $142 line up well with the local highs formed in the past three days, making them the next take-profit targets.

The mean coin age metric has slowly trended higher since early July, a sign of accumulation. However, the 30-day MVRV was at highs not seen since March.
This could foreshadow a strong wave of selling from short-term holders enjoying healthy profit margins.
