Aave (AAVE) to continue recent uptrend despite rejection at crucial resistance zone

Aave (AAVE) has ranked among the top 5 best performing major crypto assets in the last two weeks. The coin has been on a major uptrend and in fact, it managed to break above $200 for the first time this year. So, where does the price action go from here? Here are some pointers to keep in mind:

• After surging towards $230, AAVE appears to have lost its upward momentum.

• The coin has largely remained in sideways trading for the last two days

• AAVE was also rejected at the crucial $241.8 resistance level

Can Aave find momentum?

The rejection at $241.8 was a big letdown for bulls who had managed to push AAVE quite high in the last 14 days. In fact, the coin has since retreated and is trading at around $231. We expect bulls to try and breach the $241.8 price in the coming days. 

Although this will be difficult given the current stagnation in the price action, it is not impossible. A break above $241.8 will push AAVE further above $261 before any resistance. This will represent a 15% upswing above the current price.

Despite this, there is still a very big risk of retracement. Remember AAVE has largely trended upwards for the most part of March. A correction is, therefore, due and as such, we could see a strong retracement that takes the coin back to $210. However, if the price action stays above $230, more upside will come.

Why should you consider AAVE now?

We still think that there is a little bit of upward momentum left for AAVE. In fact, a sharp rise toward $260 is still possible. Buying now will therefore give you a chance to make back at least 20% in returns. 

But the risk of retracement on the downside should not be ignored. If bulls cannot keep the price above $230, then you should probably wait for it to fall back to $210 or thereabout before buying.
