The Setup — Aave
Aave recently made another run toward $100 but again found resistance, while support has emerged near $90 and the 50-day moving average. A break below support could usher in more bearish momentum, while bulls are hoping for another test — and an eventual break — of $100 resistance and the 200-day moving average.
What Wall Street’s Watching
BTC
Bitcoin briefly flirted with a multi-week low yesterday and at one point, was down about 2%. However, BTC rebounded on the day, finished near flat, and climbed toward $64,000 this morning.

Palantir shares jumped about 17% in premarket trading after the company beat earnings and revenue expectations and raised its full-year outlook. U.S. commercial revenue surged 149% year over year, helping ease concerns about rising competition from AI developers. Dig into the fundamentals for PLTR.
CAT
