AAVE is testing a pivotal resistance near $184 after Aave's V4 lending markets surpassed $1 billion in deposits, while Pi Network is struggling under $0.09 ahead of its upcoming mainnet upgrade. Both tokens are now at key technical thresholds that could define their October trends.
AAVE's rally is backed by V4 growth. Aave Labs reported that V4 deposits crossed $1 billion in September, with $310 million in active loans, and that V4 had already launched on Arc and Base. On Base, the first market is an Equities Hub accepting seven Coinbase tokenized stocks as collateral, with USDC as the only borrowable asset. The stock tokens cover seven U.S. technology companies, including Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia, but are available only to eligible users outside the United States, and are collateral-only at launch.
On TradingView's Binance daily chart, AAVE traded around $183.32, up 2.34% for the session, and was testing the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $183.86, drawn from the decline from $386.25 to $58.76. The 4-hour chart showed a rising channel with Supertrend support at $171.66. CoinGecko recorded AAVE at about $182.51, up roughly 22.1% over seven days and 35.4% over a month, with 24-hour trading volume near $391.9 million and a market capitalization of about $2.82 billion.
An analyst identified $202.29 as a potential upside target, conditional on a daily close above $184. CoinGlass liquidation heatmap showed overhead liquidity near $185–$189 and additional bands toward $190–$193, making that zone the immediate obstacle before any push toward $200. Support levels below include roughly $174–$177, $170–$172, and a deeper area near $154–$156. Reaching $200 from $182.51 would require an advance of roughly 9.6%.
Pi Network remains under selling pressure. PI traded near $0.08719 on Oct. 6, down 4.3% over seven days, with its weekly range between $0.08611 and $0.09345. The token sits below its 20-, 50-, 100-, and 200-day simple moving averages. The 20-day SMA is at $0.08827, the 50-day at $0.09096, the 100-day at $0.09159, and the 200-day at $0.12537, creating a cluster of nearby resistance levels.
Pi Network has scheduled Protocol 28 for node operators by Oct. 13, ahead of a planned mainnet upgrade on Oct. 16. The upgrade improves transaction-data delay handling and gives developers safer tools for upgrading smart contract groups and changing stored data. Trading volume was about $3.24 million, down roughly 34%, while the market value was near $980 million.
Analyst Gopal described a potential double-bottom structure with the neckline at $0.105–$0.11 and a first upside target near $0.14, followed by a higher target of $0.21–$0.22. His support zone sits at $0.075–$0.08. On the 4-hour chart, base support from the Murrey Math overlay is at $0.08545, with additional levels at $0.08469, $0.08392 and $0.08316. A daily break below the rising channel support near $0.086–$0.087 would weaken the current structure.
