The crypto market had a bearish start this week in anticipation of the U.S. CPI data. Most of the top cryptocurrencies by market cap experienced significant downside but AAVE managed to hold on to some gains.
AAVE did experience some selling pressure on 10 July, which pushed its price down from $82.3 to $65.7 by 12 July. A relatively small drop considering that it rallied by more than 45% in the previous week.
