AAVE, the native token of the decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform Aave, has seen a remarkable surge in value, reaching its highest point since February 1st. The token's price has risen by 180% from its lowest level on April 7th, driven by several positive developments within the Aave ecosystem.

The total value locked (TVL) on the Aave network has surged to a high of $27.5 billion, up from $16 billion in April. This increase in TVL indicates a growing interest in the platform and its services. Additionally, the total amount borrowed on the network has risen to $17.5 billion, up from $10 billion on April 13th. This increase in borrowing activity suggests that the protocol is gaining traction among users.

The network's fees have also seen a significant increase, with Aave generating $40 million in May, up from $33 million in April. Notably, the cumulative revenue has crossed the key resistance level at $210 million, reaching $211.7 million. This increase in revenue is a positive sign for the platform's financial health and sustainability.

The price of AAVE has also been boosted by an increase in the amount of staked tokens, which has climbed to the highest level since February. There are now $912 million worth of staked AAVE coins, up from this month’s low of $350 million. This increase in staking activity is a positive sign for the platform's long-term growth and stability.

The rally in AAVE's price has also coincided with a surge in futures open interest, which soared to a record high of $745 million, up from the year-to-date low of $180 million. This increase in open interest signals growing demand from investors and suggests that the token's price may continue to rise in the near future.

Meanwhile, the supply of AAVE on exchanges has dropped from 3.8 million in December last year to 3.06 million today. The total supply in profit has jumped to 1.25 million, its highest level since January. This decrease in exchange supply and increase in profit supply suggests that investors are holding onto their tokens, which could further drive up the price.

Technical analysis of AAVE's price chart shows that the token bottomed at $114.80 on April 7th. It recently broke above the resistance level at $282.10 on May 27th. AAVE has formed a golden cross pattern, as the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages continue to slope upward. Similarly, the Relative Strength Index and the Average Directional Index have both continued to rise. According to the analyst's forecast, the token will likely continue climbing as bulls target last year’s high of $398.85, its peak in December and 28% above the current level. A drop below the support at $282 would invalidate the bullish outlook.
