Alas some hope! Maybe not…
As per data from Santiment, the number of active addresses on the Aave network witnessed an uptick. Furthermore, the daily activity increased tremendously in the month of October.
Unlike the daily active addresses on the Aave network, Aave’s development activity declined over the past few weeks. This would indicate that the number of contributions being made by developers on Aave’s GitHub had decreased.
The declining development activity did not faze large investors. However, interest from large investors witnessed a spike. Furthermore, the supply held by top addresses also increased over the past few weeks.

Despite these positive indicators, the price of Aave continued to decline. At the time of writing, AAVE was trading at $67.35 and its price had depreciated by 18.64% in the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap.
However, its volume increased by 33% during the same period and at press time, Aave captured 0.11% of the overall crypto market.
