AAVE/USDT LONG

[cryptobro]

Entry: $184–186.5
SL: $169.9
TP: $195.5–202
Risk: 1%

Long from the local 4h base around the daily demand zone 178–185 after a liquidity sweep below 180 and successful defense of support, targeting a rebound into the upper bullish FVGs and supply zone at 195.6–202+, with potential extension toward the higher cluster $208–220.

Fundamental driver: Aave controls ~72% of the crypto lending market, generates about $90M in monthly revenue and is widening its lead over Spark; whales have added 50k+ AAVE over the last 30 days and now hold an all‑time high of 3.98M tokens, continuing to buy into dips, while one major address is repeatedly using recursive borrowing to accumulate more AAVE. The SEC has officially closed its investigation and did not classify AAVE as a security, removing a key regulatory overhang and opening room for repricing a DeFi blue chip whose tokenomics actually capture protocol fees and value (unlike cases such as Plasma). The setup is counter to the local “total bearish” EMA regime, so execution should be via lower‑TF reaction and partial entries within the range, with staggered profit‑taking at liquidation clusters and FVGs; the idea is fully invalidated on a sustained break below $170 and a clean loss of trend support.

AAVE strength usually reflects broader DeFi sentiment.

Key is holding higher lows to sustain the long bias.
