Yesterday we had the biggest spike in AAVE liquidations (WETH+WBTC collateral) for the past year.

Yesterday we tried to evaluate possible market moves using crowd sentiment: https://insights.santiment.net/read/monday-crowd-vibes-7128
Now when US Monday trading session is over we might review onchain activity.
With 24h daily active address metric as a proxy.
Long story short, a large number of tokens is now seeing an increasing divergence between price action (up) and active addresses (down).
Example: YFI

This is a warning sign, many divergencies now have to be reset by either a price dump or increase in activity.
What could be good to observe on many tokens for a rally is an opposite divergence, similar to MKR:

Until then, we might probably expect some gravity push down.

Compared to strong June dump, liquidations on Aave are not there yet (yellow line).

No super special 'rekt' charts onchain.

While we see kind of bit worrying pattern on many coins, like ETH...

... where there is divergence with latest growth which often leads to decline, AAVE tries to do something different:


If it will not be enough to keep the price, we dump. But we never know.

Aave has been one of top pumping coins last days.
Digging into it's metrics we might notice that most AAVE metrics are looking good and healthy. Confident whales in 'buy' mode, network activity increasing - all good.
However a couple of red flags are clearly visible.
- MVRV 30d:

MVRV is too high. There is a high risk of short term traders taking profits and therefore pressing the price down. Cause this is exactly what MVRV 30d metric is about - average profit of 30d AAVE holders.
2. Whale Transaction Count

Whales transactions count seem to spike around price tops, this is what historical performance shows on the chart above. And the lates spike could also mark a local price top.

AAVE, like most of the market, has returned to bull mode.
TL,DR: Coinlist activates AAVE trading on Monday 19th. Whales reloaded 6 days earlier. Most aggressive jump in whale activity in 6 months. MVRV Z-score breaks downtrend. Accumulation reignited. Other lending protocols see silent accumulation.




NVT (in volume) spikes during the consolidation phase since February provided good buying opportunities.
This particular whale probably acted on fundamental grounds:

Last week, we touched on some altcoins that we're currently whale watching, based on our data indicating that there are a growing number of holders of the respective assets that are qualifying as elite holders. This week, we're providing three examples of assets that have already seen massive growth thanks to these accumulations. We'll also look at three assets where their prices haven't reacted (yet) to the growth in their recent whale numbers.
And spoiler alert: many of the same tokens we covered last week are continuing to grow in whales the fastest!
