DeFi Eyes a Comeback: Will AAVE, SNX & COMP Rally After Uniswap’s 30% Surge?

After Uniswap’s explosive 30% rally following founder Hayden Adams’ “UNIfication” proposal, the spotlight has shifted to the broader DeFi sector. The move reignited interest across major decentralized finance tokens, with traders now eyeing whether AAVE, Synthetix (SNX), and Compound (COMP) can mirror Uniswap’s momentum.

The rally comes amid a cautiously optimistic tone in the broader crypto market, where Bitcoin continues to trade above $105,000 and Ethereum consolidates near key resistance levels. As covered in our recent crypto market overview, large-cap stability has created the perfect setup for altcoins to regain traction—with DeFi tokens now leading the charge as investor sentiment improves.

• The price has been forming a consecutive higher highs and lows, suggesting the growing strength of the bulls

• The CMF has displayed a bearish divergence, while the RSI a bullish divergence which may raise some concerns

• Rising RSI suggests potential upside, while the drop in CMF indicates a weak accumulation. Therefore, the price may surge but for a short while as it lack strong volume support

• As seen in the above chart, the SNX price triggered a strong breakout but has lost more than 60% of the gains incurred in October

• After a massive pullback in the first few days of the month, the price is consolidating just above the pivotal support range between $0.768 and $0.8.

• The MACD shows a drop in the selling pressure while the levels are heading for a bullish crossover, hinting for a potential upswing

• On the other hand, the CMF has triggered a bullish divergence, hinting towards a notable influx of the buying volume

• With this, the Synthetix price is expected to reclaim $1 and further head towards the crucial resistance between $1.2 and $1.25.

Compound (COMP) Price Analysis

• The Compound price is stuck within a descending parallel channel and after facing a rejection from the resistance, a drop to the support could be on the horizon

• The RSI is consolidating within the lower bands, suggesting the weakened momentum of the rally

• Additionally the DMI is also heading towards a bearish crossover while the baseline displays a divergence, indicating possibility of a rebound

• Therefore, the COMP price is expected to test the support at $31.5 which may act as a base to trigger a strong rebound

• However, the volume remains below the average, which raises concerns over the upcoming price action

Conclusion: Can DeFi Sustain the Momentum?

Uniswap’s dramatic breakout has undoubtedly reignited optimism across the DeFi ecosystem, but whether this marks the start of a sector-wide rally remains to be seen. AAVE, SNX, and COMP are showing early signs of recovery, backed by rising trading volumes and renewed on-chain activity.  

If Bitcoin maintains strength above key support levels and liquidity keeps rotating toward altcoins, the current DeFi upswing could evolve into a more lasting trend. ny further upside in AAVE, SNX, and COMP could confirm that Uniswap’s spark has indeed reignited the next leg of the DeFi revival.
