Aave/Tether (AAVEUSDT) opened at $218.43 on October 31 at 12:00 ET and closed at $222.76 on November 1 at 12:00 ET, with an intraday high of $234.67 and a low of $213.96.

Price action has shown a sharp bearish trend, followed by tentative signs of stabilization and possible buying interest at key levels.
Structure & Formations
The past 24 hours have featured a large bearish reversal candle on the 15-minute chart, with a close near the lower end of the range, hinting at short-term bearish exhaustion. A key support zone formed between $221.85 and $223.14 saw several tests but did not break decisively, suggesting strong buying pressure at that level. A potential bullish engulfing pattern may form if price rises above the $223.61 high, with further confirmation likely above $225.32.
Moving Averages
On the 15-minute chart, the 20-period and 50-period moving averages are both bearish, with the price well below both. On the daily timeframe, the 50-period MA is at $226.00, while the 200-period MA is at $230.00. Price remains well below the 100-period MA at $229.30, suggesting a bearish trend is still in place. A cross back above the 50-period MA could indicate early reversal momentum.
MACD & RSI
The MACD has remained negative for most of the session, with a bearish crossover earlier in the evening. RSI has moved into oversold territory, currently at 31, suggesting the pair may be due for a short-term rebound. However, MACD divergence remains bearish, pointing to the potential for a pullback before a true reversal. Momentum indicators suggest caution, with a potential for a false breakout before a more defined direction emerges.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands have tightened significantly in the past 12 hours, with the most recent 15-minute candles closing near the lower band at $221.85–$223.61. This contraction indicates a period of low volatility, often preceding a breakout. A break above the upper band would signal renewed bullish momentum, while a break below the lower band would confirm a deeper bearish move. The current price is well within the bands but near the bottom edge, indicating a high probability of reversal.
Volume & Turnover
Volume has surged in the evening and early morning hours, with the most active 15-minute candle showing $1,838,076.91 in turnover. This surge coincided with the formation of a large bearish candle but was followed by a period of consolidation, suggesting that selling pressure may be abating. Volume and price action appear to be aligning with the bearish trend, but the recent buying interest at key support levels implies a potential shift in sentiment.
Fibonacci Retracements
Applying Fibonacci levels to the recent swing high of $234.67 and low of $213.96, the 61.8% retracement level is at $225.71, and the 38.2% level is at $229.98. These levels could act as potential resistance points if a rally materializes. On the 15-minute chart, the $223.14 level aligns with the 78.6% retracement, reinforcing its significance as a key support area.
Backtest Hypothesis
To complement the above technical assessment, a backtest strategy is proposed for evaluating potential entry points based on RSI-14 over the past three years. This would involve identifying RSI-14 values below 30 as potential buy signals, followed by a 5-day holding period. While the current RSI for Aave/Tether has entered oversold territory, historical performance of similar strategies can provide context on whether a rebound is likely to be sustained. However, the current ticker format "AAVEUSDT" is not compatible with standard data providers due to the dot character. To proceed, we need clarification on one of the following:
- Confirm if “AAVEUSDT” is the correct ticker on your data platform (e.g., Binance, Kraken, or KuCoin).
- Provide an alternate symbol or daily price data file (CSV/Excel) for manual RSI calculation.
- Consider using a comparable stablecoin or DeFi token (e.g., ETH/USDT or UNI/USDT) for a proxy backtest.
Once the data source is confirmed, the strategy will be executed from January 1, 2022, to November 1, 2025, with full performance metrics including Sharpe ratio, win rate, and maximum drawdown. This will help validate the technical signals observed in the current session and offer a more data-driven perspective for future decision-making.
