$AAVE
If DeFi momentum is genuinely returning, $AAVE is difficult to ignore. Price has climbed 15.06% to $143.95, producing a clear improvement in short-term momentum. Given Aave’s established role in decentralized lending, I also view its price action as a useful gauge of broader DeFi risk appetite. If volume remains elevated and price can hold around previously contested areas, this move starts looking more structurally meaningful than a simple one-day spike.
