The technical outlook signals a correction as selling pressure begins to build.
Aave (AAVE) price trade below $260 at the time of writing on Tuesday as the token faces weakness around its key resistance zone. On-chain indicators paint a bearish picture, with declining Total Value Locked (TVL) and lending capacity suggesting reduced network activity, while technical signals point toward a possible near-term correction.
On-chain data suggests a reduction in network activity
Arthemis Terminal data shows that Aave’s TVL fell from $39.9 billion on October 7 to $33.2 billion on Monday, reaching levels not seen since mid-August. Falling TVL indicates declining activity and waning interest within Aave’s ecosystem, suggesting that fewer users are depositing or utilizing assets within AAVE-based protocols.

Additionally, AAVE’s lending loan capacity has also fallen from $65.6 billion on October 7 to $55.5 billion on Monday, reaching levels not seen since mid-August. This fall in lending capacity indicates less liquidity is available for borrowers, signaling reduced participation or declining confidence in the protocol.
