The cryptocurrency market is regaining strength as Ethereum (ETH) climbs back to $4,400 from its 24-hour low of $4,214, posting a +4% jump today. Alongside this recovery, several altcoins are also showing renewed upside momentum — including decentralized finance (DeFi) giant Aave (AAVE).
AAVE is trading in the green today, and more importantly, its chart is flashing a potentially major bullish setup. Interestingly, this pattern looks strikingly similar to a historical fractal that previously triggered a massive rally.

Fractal Setup Hints at a Bullish Reversal
Looking at the chart, AAVE’s current structure appears to mirror its 2021 pre-bull run fractal. Back then, AAVE consolidated within a cup-shaped formation, making its bottom at the red-marked support. That accumulation phase allowed the token to reclaim its 100-day moving average before finally breaking out of the “cup” pattern — a breakout that unleashed a 543% rally in just a few weeks.
Now, AAVE seems to be tracing the same path again.

The token has once again formed a cup pattern, bouncing strongly from the same red-marked support zone. This rebound has pushed AAVE above the 100-day moving average, with price now sitting around $316, just beneath the neckline resistance near $385.
What’s Next for AAVE?
If history is any guide, the key level to watch is the $385 neckline breakout. A confirmed breakout above this level could ignite a sharp uptrend, with the fractal-based projection pointing to a potential rally toward $2,000+ in the coming weeks.
However, as with all fractals, confirmation is critical. Without a decisive breakout, the pattern could fail, and AAVE may remain rangebound below resistance.
For now, all eyes are on whether AAVE can repeat its historical playbook and kick off another explosive DeFi-led rally.
