💸 #DeFi has taken some of the spotlight from the #AI craze. Assets that enable users to lend, borrow, or exchange #crypto without a central authority like $UNI, $COMP, $SUSHI, and $AAVE all spiked in value following a key #Uniswap proposal to reward staked and delegated token holders.

Check out our #DeFi watchlist, where you can track the emerging assets and sort by key #bullish indicators to identify the pumps BEFORE they occur. 😎

👀📊 All eyes of the #crypto community shifted toward $BTC after the #SEC's false announcement of #BitcoinETF approvals. However, it has been #altcoins that have quickly seen major surges despite #Bitcoin declining as low as $45.4K.

Though a multi-day #altcoinparty would please many who have been trading into more speculative assets today, remember that a lack of confidence in #cryptocurrency's top asset would inevitably lead to the downfall of many market caps that rely on $BTC's price to stay steady. 🙏

📊 #Aave has some #bullish divergences forming as it has stayed around the middle of the pack among other #altcoins. The 50th ranked market cap asset has the most coins held by the top 150 wallets in 5 months, and RSI has entered a bounce zone.

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.

1. 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.
