Aave Approaches Key Support Level Amid Whale Sell-Off in Hyperliquid

Aave's price tests its 200-day EMA at $126 after a significant sell-off in Hyperliquid tokens.

Aave's price tests its 200-day EMA at $126 after a significant sell-off in Hyperliquid tokens. Hyperliquid (HYPE) is trading at ₹8,333 ($87.67), down 0.4% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Crypto Daily, with live market data added, as of Sun, 01 Nov 2026 18:30:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The whale sell-off in Hyperliquid and Aave's approach to its 200-day EMA could indicate short-term market sentiment shifts and potential buying opportunities for investors watching these key support levels.

Key takeaways
  • Whales sold $109M in HYPE after ICE's perps plan revision.
  • Aave's price nears its 200-day EMA at $126, indicating oversold conditions.
  • Hyperliquid TVL rose 11.5% to $1.93B despite the sell-off.

The crypto market witnessed a significant sell-off as two whales offloaded approximately $109 million worth of Hyperliquid (HYPE) tokens. This move came after ICE revised its plans for perpetual futures, which likely influenced market sentiment.

Aave's price has been declining and is now approaching its 200-day EMA at around $126, a level that is often considered a critical support point. The token is currently trading at $136.4, indicating potential oversold conditions.

Despite the sell-off in HYPE, Hyperliquid's Total Value Locked (TVL) has shown resilience, increasing by 11.5% over the past week to $1.93 billion, according to DeFiLlama. In contrast, Aave's TVL dropped by 7.3% to $16.4 billion during the same period.

The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.69 trillion. Bitcoin's slight 24-hour gain of 0.74% and a Fear & Greed index of 34 suggest a cautious market environment.

Investors will be watching Aave's 200-day EMA at $126 closely, as a sustained break below this level could signal further downside. Conversely, a bounce from this support could present a buying opportunity.
