AAVE is sitting in a major decision zone.AAVE / TetherUS PERPETUAL CONTRACTBINANCE:AAVEUSDT.PMike-BTDAfter a strong run and deep retrace, price has returned to a high-volume range where the market previously built structure. That makes this area important, but it is not a clean breakout setup yet. It is still a range trade. AAVE remains below the major breakdown area, so bulls need to prove strength before momentum fully shifts. At the same time, price is testing a zone where buyers have stepped in before, and the volume profile shows this could be a key battleground. I would not chase here. The cleaner approach is to watch how AAVE reacts inside the range. If buyers defend the lower side and reclaim the middle, the chart starts to improve. If it loses this zone, downside pressure can continue. Patience matters here. Trade the range. Wait for confirmation. Let the market show if this is accumulation or just another pause before continuation lower.
