4. Technical Analysis on Aave
VWAP is a technical indicator used by a trader to gauge the overall trend of an asset price movement. VWAP line (orange line) represents the volume-weighted average price (average price here is defined as the average of high, low and close prices) while close price line (blue line) represents the price when AAVE is closed at the end of every single day.
Whenever blue line (close price) is above orange line (VWAP), it indicates that the asset is gaining momentum and being traded higher than its average price level. This would represent a 'buy' opportunity for short-term momentum trader whom task is to trade following the trend while a longer term mean-revision trader might take it as a 'sell' opportunity, anticipating that the price of AAVE (blue line) to fall to its average level (orange line).
Whenever blue line (close price) is below orange line (VWAP), it indicates that the asset is losing momentum and being traded lower than its average price level. This would represent a 'sell' opportunity for short-term momentum trader whom task is to trade following the trend while a longer term mean-revision trader might take it as a 'buy' opportunity, anticipating that the price of AAVE (blue line) to rise to its average level (orange line).
As of 02 Feb 2022, VWAP is suggesting that AAVE has lost a lot of momentum and is now trading at a deep discount from its week-long and month-long volume-weighted average price. Despite AAVE's attractive valuation at this low price level, there is a risk for AAVE to continue its fall as crypto market continues to sell off, and it's definitely not a wise move to bulk buying at the current dip as nobody would know where the bottom is.
MACD (12, 26) is computed by subtracting the 26-day exponential moving average (EMA) of AAVE closing price from its 12-day EMA.
As MACD (12, 26) goes higher away from Signal (9), it signifies that AAVE is gaining momentum and whenever it goes trends at a lower level than Signal (9),it signifies that AAVE is losing momentum.

Whenever close line (green) touches the lower band (red), it indicates that AAVE is corrected too much and is being traded at an undervalued level, representing a 'buy' opportunity.

Just like Bollinger Band, Relative Strength Index is often being used by mean-reversion trader as a gauge to assess how undervalued or overvalued an asset is. There are 2 psychological levels, i.e. 30 and 70 in RSI. Whenever the RSI reaches 30, it indicates that AAVE is corrected too much and is being traded at an undervalued level, representing a 'buy' opportunity. On the other hand, whenever RSI reaches 70, it indicates that AAVE is gaining too much momentum and is being traded at an overvalued level, thus indicating a 'sell' opportunity.
