AAVE Price Prediction: Momentum Flatline at $126 Signals a Flush to $120 Before the Real Move to $140

Rongchai Wang  Aug 26, 2026 09:29  AAVE sits at $126.10 with its MACD histogram printing zero and taker sell flow running 1.6x hotter than buy-side aggression — the high-probability path is a shakeout to $120–$123 support first, the…  AAVEs Technical Reality Check  The trend structure is clean and unambiguously bullish — every major moving average on the board, from the SMA 7 all the way down to the SMA 200 sitting at $96.37, is stacked below current price. Bulls have done the work. But heres where you stop feeling good about the setup: momentum has just flatlined. The MACD and its signal line are sitting at an identical value, printing a histogram of zero. Thats not a minor detail. It means the entire thrust that drove AAVE from the $96–97 base up to $126 — a 30% move — has exhausted its engine precisely as price approaches a wall of resistance.  Now layer in the Bollinger Band position. At 0.83, AAVE is trading deep in the upper quarter of its band envelope, a full 24% premium over the 20-day mean at $101.56. Price doesn‘t stay stretched that far from its mean for long without either a catalyst-driven breakout or a snap-back. The RSI at 67.78

XRP Ledger 3.3.0 Support Goes Live Across Key Developer Libraries

Julian Berridi, product manager at Ripple, announced new releases of xrpl.js and xrpl-py with support for XRP Ledger version 3.3.0 in a recent X post.  xrpl.js refers to a JavaScript/TypeScript API for interacting with the XRP Ledger in Node.js and the browser.  On the other hand, xrpl-py is a pure Python implementation for interacting with the XRP Ledger. The xrpl-py library simplifies the hardest parts of XRP Ledger interaction, like serialization and transaction signing, and also provides native Python methods and models for XRP Ledger transactions and core server API objects.  Users can communicate directly with the XRP Ledger through HTTP-based APIs provided by the core xrpld server as well as the Clio server. Client libraries such as xrpl.js and xrpl-py simplify some of the common work of accessing and processing XRP Ledger data and present it in a form that matches the native conventions of their respective programming languages, in this case JavaScript and Python.  The xrpld server software can run in several modes depending on its configuration; one of these is API Server, which provides API access to read data from the shared ledger, submit transactions, and watch activity in the ledger.  XRPL 3.3.0  Version 3.3.0 of xrpld, the reference server implementation of the

The evidence doesn't support the banks' case against stablecoin rewards

Rob Nichols says the American Bankers Association wants to strengthen the Clarity Act, not kill it, and that the fix is a handful of word changes in a 600-page bill. I take him at his word on intent. But the changes are not small, and the premise behind them has been tested against seven years of data and did not survive.  The ABAs case rests on a prediction: let platforms pay stablecoin rewards and deposits will drain out of community banks, taking local lending with them. That has been testable for years, because current law already permits these rewards, and Coinbase has paid them on USDC for more than four years. If the mechanism worked as the ABA describes, the damage would be visible.  It isnt. Community bank deposits grew 26 percent, roughly $482 billion, from June 2019 through March 2026, straight through the entire rise of stablecoins and stablecoin rewards.  Faryar Shirzad is chief policy officer at Coinbase.  The empirical evidence points one direction  Empirical studies from Charles River Associates and the Council of Economic Advisors also show no significant relationship between stablecoins and deposits. Rob calls the absence of deposit flight since GENIUS “irrelevant” because regulators havent finished their rules. That asks Congress

Bernstein forecasts Bitcoin to reclaim $125K by late 2026 ahead of cycle peak

Wall Street research company Bernstein expects Bitcoin to recover from its latest downturn, reclaim its 2025 high and set new records in the coming years heading into the peak of its historical cycle.  Bernstein expects Bitcoin (BTC) to reclaim $125,000 by late 2026 under both its base and bull cases, according to a research report published Wednesday and seen by Cointelegraph.  The company said Bitcoin gained 28% over the previous 10 days after falling about 50% from its October 2025 peak, a rebound that could signal the end of the current bear cycle.  The analysts call comes as institutional investors and corporate Bitcoin buyers play a bigger role in the market, which Bernstein said provided greater downside support during the latest cycle and contributed to a smaller drawdown than the 75% to 90% declines of previous cycles.  Next cycle could see Bitcoin reach $300,000  Bernsteins base case puts Bitcoin at $150,000 by mid-2027 before reaching a cycle peak of about $300,000 in 2029. Its bull case puts the biggest crypto at $200,000 by mid-2027 and $500,000 in 2029.  The company maintained its longer-term BTC target of about $1 million by 2033 under both scenarios.  Bernstein‘s forecast is based on Bitcoin’s historical four-year cycles, which the company links

Jim Cramer Flags a Monumental Day': Will NVIDIA Earnings Move Markets?

Mad Money host Jim Cramer told followers he senses a monumental day, just hours before NVIDIA (NVDA) reports fiscal second-quarter earnings after Wednesdays close. The cryptic post landed as the stock steadied near $213 in quiet premarket trading.  Wall Street consensus calls for roughly $92 billion in revenue and $2.09 in adjusted earnings per share. Therefore, the guidance that follows the print could set the tone for the entire AI trade.  Sponsored  Sponsored  Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Performance Pre-Market. Source: Yahoo FinanceWhy NVIDIA Earnings Count as a Market Event  NVDA closed Tuesday at $213.05, a 2.19% rebound that snapped a seven-session losing streak. The stock changed hands near $213.77 in Wednesdays premarket, up 0.34% on light volume, ahead of the 5 PM EDT earnings call.  The muted move hides the stakes. NVIDIAs market value sits near $5.16 trillion as of this writing, large enough for its after-hours reaction to swing the S&P 500.  The report also doubles as a referendum on AI bubble risk, since a handful of chip and AI names now drive most index earnings growth.  Beyond the headline revenue figure, analysts expect data center sales near $85 billion. Meanwhile, options and money-flow data had already flagged an earnings trap setup, where even a beat may fail

Digital Euro Will Offer 'Maximum Level of Privacy,' ECB Board Member Says

In briefECB executive board member Piero Cipollone said the digital euro guarantees the maximum privacy current technology can offer, in an interview published Monday.Offline payments would be visible only to the payer and payee, while online the Eurosystem could not identify either party, though the banks involved could.The European Parliament agreed its negotiating position in July, with a pilot due in the second half of 2027 and first issuance targeted for 2029.  A digital euro would give users as much privacy as current technology allows, a European Central Bank executive board member has said, in the banks sharpest answer yet to the charge that a central bank digital currency would let Frankfurt watch how Europeans spend.  Piero Cipollone made the claim in an interview with Italian outlet ilsussidiario.net, conducted on August 10 and published by the ECB on Monday. Asked whether the bank could monitor payment habits and track how each citizen uses the currency, he said offline payments would run directly between individuals, with the details available only to the payer and the payee.  Online, he said, the Eurosystem would not be able to identify the people making or receiving payments. Only the banks involved in a transaction could do that, including
