During Tuesday’s U.S market session, the crypto market witnessed a surge in buying pressure as Bitcoin price rallied above $70,000. The AAVE price followed the bullish momentum along with most major altcoins, signaling renewed confidence in the Q4 bull run. However, the recent whale sell-off and strong overhead resistance suggest substantial barriers that could delay AAVE’s breakout past $200.
Currently, the AAVE price trades at $150.33 with a modest loss of 0.61%. According to the Coingecko data, the asset shows a market cap of $2.25 Billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $209.15 Million.
Will AAVE Price to $200 Be Delayed as Whale Starts Profit-Taking?”
According to EmberCN tweet, a crypto whale who acquired 160,710 AAVE tokens at $89 per token during June-August has begun to cash in on his substantial holdings. In a recent transaction, the smart money transferred 19,592 AAVE ( worth approximately $3.02 Million) to the crypto exchange Binance.
This sell-off suggests that the largest holder may be looking to reduce exposure in AAVE due to a potential reversal or anticipated lack of movement in the near future. Generally, whale selling coincides with major market top and bearish sentiment, potentially delaying the recovery momentum in an asset.
With the crypto market today, the whale still holds 141,118 AAVE, currently valued at $21.78 million.
