A $292M Hack Created $200M In Bad Debt On Aave: Here Is What That Means For Users
Aave has shed more than 23% of its value since Friday, and the protocol that bills itself as DeFi’s most trusted lender is now managing the fallout from one of the most disruptive exploits in its history — even though its own code was never touched. Sellers quickly rejected the recent move toward the $110–$115 region, driving price sharply back toward the $90 level. This rejection is critical. It suggests that sellers are still active on strength, using rallies as exit liquidity rather than signaling accumulation. The spike in volume during the sell-off reinforces that interpretation, pointing to aggressive distribution rather than passive drift lower.Related Reading
Price is now sitting near a local support zone around $90, which has held multiple times in recent sessions. However, repeated tests of support typically weaken it. If this level breaks decisively, it opens the path toward lower liquidity zones, potentially accelerating downside.
For any constructive shift to develop, AAVE would need to reclaim the $110 area and hold above short-term moving averages. Until then, the structure remains bearish, and rallies continue to look corrective rather than the start of a sustained recovery.
