AAVE Surges Past $175 Amid Rising Treasury Yields
Aave (AAVE)

cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that AAVE rallied sharply, pushing the token above $175 despite US Treasury yields climbing above 5%. This price action occurred on September 29, with the token gaining more than 17% from roughly $149. Buyers have steadily accumulated the asset since mid-August, when it traded below $90.
The uptrend gained momentum as the token crossed $120, then pushed through $140 and $150. Each level conquered added confidence to the broader bullish sentiment. The breakout has strengthened the case for further upside, yet a key question remains regarding defense of former resistance near $155.
The rally appeared despite intense competition for capital across financial markets. Buyers continued accumulating AAVE even as yields created headwinds. The token entered September with strong momentum and showed few signs of slowing down. This sustained buying pressure drove prices higher through multiple major levels.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for AAVE, measured when this story was written up on 5 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows AAVE trading at $179.13 with a 24-hour spot volume of $16,311,248. The 1-hour buy ratio is 46.6%, while the 4-hour ratio stands at 50.9%, compared to a 45.7% ratio over the last day. This suggests short-term buying pressure is slightly weaker than the broader daily trend. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing -$215,593 in the last hour versus +$57,665 over four hours. Volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume, indicating whether aggressive buyers or sellers are in control. The negative 1-hour delta signals recent selling pressure, contrasting with the positive 4-hour figure.
The latest daily buy ratio of 52.3% sits at the 82nd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.8% - stronger buying than most days.
