AAVE: From $87 to $96 — Is Momentum Returning?

$AAVE has made an interesting move over the past week.

Looking at the recent price action:

📅 Aug 13: ~$87.85
📅 Aug 15: ~$86.21
📅 Aug 17: ~$89.26
📅 Aug 18: ~$87.54
📅 Aug 19: ~$95.37
📅 Aug 20: ~$96.28

That puts AAVE roughly 9.6% higher than Aug 13, showing a noticeable recovery from the mid-week weakness.

But the interesting part isn't only the price.

Aave's ecosystem is continuing to evolve. Aave V4 has been expanding, including its deployment on Avalanche, while the protocol is also focusing on improving and concentrating its markets.

Recent market data shows AAVE trading around the $96–$97 area, with the weekly range roughly between $85 and $99.

So the question for me isn't simply:

“Will AAVE go up?”

The better question is:

Can $AAVE turn its growing DeFi infrastructure into sustainable long-term usage?

Price can change quickly.

Real adoption is what I would watch.

What do you think about $AAVE from here?
