Aave’s September 9 risk review shows USDC at 92.4% of its supply cap and 95.7% of its borrow cap — yet AAVE price has fallen from $140.27 on September 6 to about $122.9 on September 11. The complication is that the protocol’s recent activity is not uniformly bullish: USDC debt rose 4.7% over seven days, while AAVE itself remains roughly 12.4% below that September 6 high.
That divergence—the protocol is showing strong reserve utilization while the token has retraced—is a watch, not a confident long/short. Aave governance is also moving through several V4 proposals, including Ethereum mainnet activation and new deployments, so the fundamental story is still developing rather than settled.
For AAVE/USDT, $129.95–$131.22 is the confirmation zone — a close above it would reclaim the September 9 resistance area and signal stronger demand. $120.33–$120.80 is the key downside line, based on the September 10–11 lows; a confirmed break below $120.33 exposes the August 30–September 3 range near $120.00–$125.81 rather than a clean vacuum.
Timeframe: next 1–2 weeks, while the V4 governance rollout develops.
Invalidation: a confirmed close below $120.33 weakens this watch thesis; a broad DeFi rebound could also lift AAVE without proving token-specific demand.
