"AAVE jumps 4.36% to $188.19, breaking resistance on institutional partnership momentum."

  • AAVE surged 14% on strong trading volume, outperforming crypto market benchmark CoinDesk 5's gains.
  • Aave's expansion to the Mantle network connects the protocol with crypto exchange Bybit's 70 million user base.
  • Technical breakout cleared $175 resistance, targeting $190 psychological level next, CoinDesk Research's market insight tool noted.

Aave’s native token AAVE surged 14% over the past 24 hours to $188 on Tuesday as the broader crypto market rebounded from the steep early week sell-off.

The rally was fueled by a sharp breakout above the $175 level during the U.S. trading session, where volume spiked 295% above average in a single hour, CoinDesk Research's technical analysis tool noted. Overall, AAVE posted an intraday range of $24.90, rising from $164.28 due to strong trading activity, representing a 35.66% increase compared to its seven-day average.

Technical indicators confirmed the momentum. AAVE logged three higher lows before pushing above $183.80 support and reaching a session high of $188.26, with volume spikes reinforcing bullish control.

Boosting sentiment was Aave expanding to Mantle (MNT), a layer-2 Ethereum scaling network tightly connected to crypto exchange Bybit’s 70 million user base. The partnership brings DeFi lending to a broader audience, leveraging low-cost infrastructure while connecting centralized exchange liquidity with decentralized lending markets.

"By bringing Aave's lending markets to Mantle's high-performance network with direct access to Bybit's exchange, this integration makes transparent, onchain finance available at global scale for institutions worldwide," said Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave Labs.

Key technical levels to watch

  • Support/Resistance: Immediate support sitting at $183.80; next resistance at the $190.00 psychological level.
  • Volume Analysis: Breakout confirmed by 35.66% increase in trading volume, signals strong participation.
  • Chart Patterns: Ascending trend with clean breakout above $175 suggests continued strength.
  • Targets & Risk/Reward: Next upside target sits at $190.00 with a potential extension to $195.00; downside risk remains limited while holding above $183.80.

Bitcoin 8% Gains Already Make September 2025 Its Second Best

Bitcoin 8% Gains Already Make September 2025 Its Second Best

The post Bitcoin 8% Gains Already Make September 2025 Its Second Best appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key points: Bitcoin is bucking seasonality trends by adding 8%, making this September its best since 2012. September 2025 would need to see 20% upside to become Bitcoin’s strongest ever. BTC price volatility is at levels rarely seen before in an unusual bull cycle. Bitcoin (BTC) has gained more this September than any year since 2012, a new bull market record. Historical price data from CoinGlass and BiTBO confirms that at 8%, Bitcoin’s September 2025 upside is its second-best ever. Bitcoin avoiding “Rektember” with 8% gains September is traditionally Bitcoin’s weakest month, with average losses of around 8%. BTC/USD monthly returns (screenshot). Source: CoinGlass This year, the stakes are high for BTC price seasonality, as historical patterns demand the next bull market peak and other risk assets set repeated new all-time highs. While both gold and the S&P 500 are in price discovery, BTC/USD has coiled throughout September after setting new highs of its own the month prior. Even at “just” 8%, however, this September’s performance is currently enough to make it Bitcoin’s strongest in 13 years. The only time that the ninth month of the year was more profitable for Bitcoin bulls was in 2012, when BTC/USD gained about 19.8%. Last year, upside topped out at 7.3%. BTC/USD monthly returns.

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
