Whales are buying more for these fundamental reasons rather than just bullish price action.

DYDX has delayed its vesting schedule. The current tokens in circulation are just 15.6% (156 Million) of the total number of minted tokens(1 Billion). An initial vesting schedule was supposed to unlock another 83 Million tokens, which got delayed till December 2023.

AAVE is ready for its V3 launch. It has also created a past debt of 2.7 Million CRV DAO tokens which it took after the Mango Markets incident. There are 14 Million tokens currently in circulation.

MATIC continues its price journey based on increased institutional partnerships with Disney and Facebook(META).

DYDX Price Analysis

DYDX charts show that the cryptocurrency is in an overbought zone with RSI above 70. However, MACD data shows that there is a further upside move possible. Volume over the last few days also indicates upcoming selling pressure due to profit booking.

Target(SHORT): $2, $1.7

Stoploss: $2.3

AAVE Price Analysis

In the AAVE daily chart, RSI has fallen back from the oversold zone and is currently trading with an RSI of 65. A falling RSI from above 80 to 65 indicates a weakness in price momentum. Further, MACD data shows that a negative crossover is imminent. Therefore, it is also a good candidate for shorting.

MACD data shows positive price action both in daily and 4-hour charts. An RSI of 65 indicates that it is slightly overbought. Finally, the volume also shows positive buying in the last few days.
