- If AAVE rises to $131.5 level, approximately $1.19 million worth of short positions will be liquidated.
Aave [AAVE] surged nearly 10%, rebounding to the level at which a whale had recently dumped a significant amount of tokens.
On the 4th of September, the overall cryptocurrency market experienced a notable price decline as Bitcoin [BTC] fell below the $57,000 level.
Aave whale’s recent activity
An early AAVE holder dumped their entire 17,447 tokens worth $2.16 million at a loss of $2.14 million, as reported by the on-chain analytic firm Lookonchain.
This whale had purchased the AAVE tokens worth $4.3 million from Binance on the 28th of March, 2021, at an average price of $246.
This multimillion-dollar AAVE dump occurred at a crucial support level of $118 and had the potential to create selling pressure, but it didn’t happen as expected.
Rising AAVE price and open interest
At press time, AAVE was trading near $130 and has experienced a price drop of over 1.25% in the last 24 hours. Its trading volume has increased by 85% during the same period, indicating higher participation from traders.
However, AAVE’s Open Interest skyrocketed by 15% in the last four hours and 5.5% in the past hours, according to Coinglass.
This rising Open Interest indicated growing investor and trader interest amid the recent price drop.
Technical analysis and key levels
According to expert technical analysis, AAVE was in an uptrend as it trades above the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on a daily time frame.
Additionally, it has been currently consolidating in a tight range between $118 and $134 over the last few days.

On the four-hour time frame, there is a strong resistance level near $135. If the AAVE price breaches this resistance and closes a candle above that level, there is a high possibility it could soar to the $146 level.
However, there is also a possibility of a price reversal from the resistance level.
Major liquidation levels
As of now, the major liquidation levels are near $125 on the lower slide and $131.5 on the upper side, as intraday traders are over-leveraged at these levels, according to the on-chain analytic firm Coinglass.
