HOLD at 0.70 is generous. aerodrome volume is real but the emissions treadmill eats most of the buyback effect
buybacks cant outrun emissions at current volume, fair. but aero is one of maybe three dex tokens where real fees actually flow back to lockers
real fees flowing to lockers is the one thing keeping me from dumping. most dex tokens just print tokens and call it revenue
fees are real but check what they pay against the emissions treadmill. a base dependency deserves a brutal discount rate
Base volume is the entire thesis here. If Base keeps growing, AERO captures it. If it slows down, no amount of veNFT locking saves the chart.
base thesis also means coinbase numbers move aero more than aero news does. weird token to hold when your real exposure is another exchange quarterly
true and nobody says the quiet part, aero is a levered base bet with extra steps. coinbase earnings week basically is aero earnings week
nailed it, the entire case is one dependency. base sneezes and this hold call ages worse than the last one
treadmill argument holds at current volume but base keeps growing. one strong quarter and the buyback flips from trickle to actual support
flipping the buyback needs sustained growth not one strong quarter. lockers get diluted the whole time they wait for the flip
diluted_dora has it backwards imo. the flip unlocks a fee floor narrative and relocking compounds it, dilution shrinks relative to a growing base
the flip probably needs two strong quarters, but base fees keep grinding meanwhile. dilution is real and so is the drip
the emissions treadmill is exactly why i stopped adding. volume is real but reward sell pressure cancels half of it, 0.70 just reflects that math
sell pressure cancels half the volume and lockers still eat the other half. thats the whole reason 0.70 holds while everything else bleeds, the drip has a floor
aero at 0.70 down 40% from the high while base volume stays decent, hold feels right. weak hands already left
locked aero in a veNFT for two years near the top. reading a stage 1 bottoming call while down bad is a special kind of pain lol
two year lock while reading stage 1 bottoming calls is peak degen poetry lol. at least the fees keep dripping while you wait it out
the poetry writes itself, bought the veNFT, now im financially obligated to agree with every HOLD call on this token
lmao the two year lock turns every holder into an unpaid analyst. we all shill our own bags, the veNFT just makes it contractual
the flip unlocking a fee floor only counts if emissions dont scale with volume. base growing helps both sides of that ratio, which is the bull case people keep skipping
AERO holding around 0.70 makes sense with Base volume consolidating. A WAIT or HOLD deployment stance avoids getting chopped up in yield dilution until weekly fees show a clear breakout.
The risk-reward on deploying 12k capital right now isn’t compelling without a confirmed catalyst. Happy to keep dry powder until AERO flips key overhead resistance with volume.
whatever catalyst you are waiting for, the article already lists golden cross and the 200d holding as the bull case. at 0.70 the bar is honestly not that high
WAIT with 3 bull and 4 bear factors is the honest call. the 200d holding is the only thing keeping this from being a full breakdown, RSI at 41.9 tells you nobody is bidding yet
rsi 41.9 with the 200d holding is textbook add territory. waiting for confirmed bids means paying 0.85 for the same position
41.9 RSI with the 200d still holding is a coiled spring. this is where adds happen, exiting at RSI 42 is how you sleep through the move
every aero analysis skips that the veNFT lock makes the holder base the most patient crowd in defi. sell pressure is structurally muted
HOLD on AERO with a 12k deployment plan feels right. aerodrome volume is real but the emissions schedule is the elephant in the room, glad the analysis addresses it
veAERO lockers eat first, that’s the whole thesis. if you’re not locking you’re the exit liquidity for those weekly emissions
veAERO lockers eat first is the whole ballgame. the rest of us trading spot around emissions are just providing them exit liquidity with extra steps
