Aave, one of the leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, has crossed a major threshold. According to DefiLlama, Aave’s total value locked (TVL) has surged past $30 billion for the first time in its history. This marks a significant milestone not just for Aave, but for the DeFi ecosystem as a whole.

The protocol’s growth has captured attention across the market, and with its token price reaching $330.77, investors are taking notice. With $AAVE’s market cap now over $5 billion and daily volume nearing $1 billion, analysts see signs of strong momentum and potential upside.
Record TVL Spurs Price Confidence
The TVL growth is not just a metric it’s a signal of rising user trust and platform activity. Analyst 0xFinish pointed out that Aave has now surpassed $50 billion in overall TVL across deployments, a level comparable to mid-tier U.S. banks.
Historically, price has followed TVL growth, and this pattern appears to be repeating. AAVE’s recent rally from the $261 demand zone reflects this trend, as investors begin to price in continued growth. AAVE’s structural resilience is supported by solid fundamentals, including steady demand and efficient capital flows across lending markets.

Technical Breakout and Price Zones
BullishBanter, another market analyst, highlighted a strong breakout move from AAVE. The token surged more than 23% from $261.56, clearing a key resistance near $323. The price respected a mid-range Fair Value Gap (FVG), which confirmed strong buyer presence.
With the breakout now established, the $294 level could act as a retest zone, offering a possible high-probability entry point. Below that, $281 remains a key support zone to watch. As long as AAVE holds above $294 with healthy volume, the bullish trend is likely to continue.
Indicators Show Bullish Yet Cautious Momentum
Momentum indicators also reflect this optimism. The MACD line remains above the signal line, and the histogram is positive both suggest sustained strength.
However, with the MACD elevated, overextension risks are worth considering. The RSI currently stands at 69.39, hovering just below overbought levels. While this doesn’t guarantee a reversal, it could lead to short-term consolidation or a mild pullback before continuation.
