AAVE pulled back hard this week—down over 15% as the bears took control. The selling pressure is coming from multiple angles. First, there's the governance tension brewing between AAVE Labs and the DAO, which has investors on edge about the project's direction. Then you've got major whale movements flooding the market with AAVE, triggering a cascade of retail liquidations. When big players start dumping, everyone else panics and follows suit. It's a classic pattern: governance uncertainty + whale distribution = retail capitulation. Keep an eye on whether this dip finds support or if we're seeing a deeper correction ahead.
