AAVE at Supply After a Volatile Reversal: High Odds of a 24h Pullback Toward $155
Market snapshot (AAVE)
- Current price: $157.82
- Data used: Daily candles (2025-10-30 → 2026-01-27) + intraday hourly candles (last ~24h)
- Time horizon: next 24 hours
1) Multi-timeframe trend analysis
A) Daily structure (primary trend)
- Macro direction: From late Oct high area (~$231) to current ~$158, AAVE remains in a clear bearish regime (lower highs/lower lows).
- Key swing sequence (daily closes):
- Nov → mid Dec: series of selloffs with brief rebounds.
- Dec 22 low ~$150.36 close after a sharp liquidation.
- Early Jan bounce peaked around $178.6 (Jan 14 close).
- Then a renewed breakdown to $153.07 (Jan 20 close).
- Recent daily context:
- Jan 25 close $147.74 (local capitulation/retest of late-Dec support zone).
- Jan 26 close $154.20 (bounce day).
- Jan 27 close $157.82 (follow-through), but still below major resistance bands.
Conclusion (daily): short-term recovery inside a larger downtrend; rallies are still statistically more likely to be sold into unless price reclaims major levels.
B) Intraday (hourly) structure (tactical trend)
- Hourly shows a volatile push up to ~$158.75–$158.89 (20:00–21:00), then slight fade into $157.82.
- Notable intraday impulse:
- 16:00 candle: breakout to ~$157.47
- 17:00 candle: sharp drop to ~$153.30 (a fast stop-run / liquidity sweep)
- 20:00 candle: strong re-expansion back to ~$158.74
Conclusion (hourly): momentum improved late-session, but the move looks mean-reverting and headline/liquidity driven rather than a clean trend breakout.
2) Support / Resistance mapping (price action + swing levels)
Major resistance (where sellers likely defend)
- $158.75–$159.30: intraday supply (today’s spike high ~158.89; prior daily congestion near 159–161 on Jan 21–23).
- $161.0–$163.0: multiple daily interactions (Jan 19 close 163.82 then breakdown; also Jan 21 high 163.04).
- $167–$171: prior distribution (Jan 11–18 range; breakdown zone).
Major support (where bids likely sit)
- $155.0–$156.0: short-term pivot area (Jan 22–24 closes ~155–157; intraday reactions).
- $153.0–$153.3: intraday liquidity low (hourly low ~153.04 and sharp reversal point).
- $147.5–$150.5: higher-timeframe demand zone (Dec 22–Jan 1 base; Jan 25 close 147.74).
Implication: at $157.82, price is closer to immediate resistance than to major support, creating a less attractive long R:R unless a breakout is confirmed.
3) Momentum & oscillator read (inference from closes/sequence)
(Exact indicator values like RSI/MACD aren’t directly computable here without running full arrays, but the price sequence supports strong directional inferences.)
RSI-style interpretation (daily)
- The Jan 25 flush to ~$147.7 after a multi-week decline likely pushed daily momentum into oversold / near-oversold conditions.
- The last two daily candles (Jan 26–27) indicate a momentum rebound, but rebounds in bearish regimes often stall at the first heavy supply (159–163).
MACD-style interpretation
- Bear trend into Jan 20 suggests MACD negative.
- The bounce from Jan 25 to Jan 27 suggests histogram contraction (bearish momentum waning), but not enough evidence of a full bullish reversal at daily scale.
Implication: momentum improved, but currently looks like a bear-market rally approaching overhead supply.
4) Volatility, range, and liquidity behavior
Daily range/ATR behavior (qualitative)
- The broader dataset shows frequent large-range days (e.g., Nov 14, Dec 21–22), typical of high ATR conditions.
- High ATR environments favor mean reversion and stop-hunts, especially around obvious levels.
Intraday volatility signature
- Today’s sequence (spike up → dump to ~153 → rally to ~159) is consistent with:
- liquidity sweep below support (trigger stops under ~154)
- reversal and short-covering rally into resistance
Implication: next 24h often follows with range compression or a retest of the breakout origin (155–156) before choosing direction.
5) Pattern & market structure signals
A) Potential bear flag / pullback-to-resistance
- Daily downtrend + 2-day bounce = classic setup where price retraces into resistance before continuation lower.
- The level cluster at 159–163 is a natural “flag top / sell zone.”
B) Failed breakout risk
- Current price is just under intraday high zone (~158.9).
- Without a clean daily close above ~161–163, rallies here have higher failure probability.
C) Wyckoff-style read
- Jan 25 looked like a selling climax / spring attempt from 147–150 zone.
- But today’s action also resembles a short-term markup into supply; if demand is not sustained, it can rotate back down (automatic reaction).
6) Scenario forecast (next 24 hours)
Base case (highest probability): pullback / drift lower
- Expectation: price struggles under $158.8–$161, then mean-reverts toward $155–$156.
- Probability driver: overhead supply + bear-regime context + post-spike digestion.
Bull case (lower probability): breakout continuation
- If AAVE holds above $156 and breaks/holds $161–$163, then next magnet is $167–$171.
Bear continuation case (tail risk): retest of $153 then deeper
- If $155 fails, likely retest $153, and if liquidity breaks, move toward $150.
Net directional bias (24h): mildly bearish / corrective, with a likely trading range roughly $154.5–$160.5, skewed to test lower supports first.
7) Trade decision (tactical)
Given price is pressing into near-term resistance and the higher-timeframe trend is still down, the better asymmetric setup is to Sell (short) into the resistance band, targeting a pullback to the mid-range supports.
Optimal entry logic
- Prefer short entry as close to resistance as possible to reduce risk.
- Best open zone: $158.7–$159.3 (retest of today’s intraday highs / supply).
- If you must place a single price: $159.10 is a reasonable limit-entry within that supply pocket.
Take-profit logic
- First meaningful demand/pivot: $155–$156.
- Set take profit slightly above the strongest bid cluster for fill probability: $155.60.
(Risk note: If price establishes acceptance above ~$163 on an hourly closing basis, the short thesis weakens materially.)
