dYdX Takes The Lead In DeFi With Major Breakout And Rising Trading Volume

dYdX is making waves in the DeFi world, thanks to its recent migration to the Cosmos interchain protocol, which has propelled the decentralized exchange to the forefront of the market.

With a daily trading volume nearing $757 million, dYdX has now overtaken Uniswap in activity, solidifying its position as a key player in the DeFi ecosystem.

On October 20, dYdX’s token (DYDX) saw a significant 37.51% price surge after a 23-day consolidation period, signaling that the downtrend which began in March 2024 could be over. The shift toward bullish momentum is supported by three important technical indicators:

1. Downtrend Break: DYDXUSDT decisively broke its downward trend in September 2024, moving out of bearish territory and indicating a strong reversal.

2. All-Time Low Reversal: Before the breakout, DYDX reached a new all-time low, forming a rounded bottom—a classic reversal pattern in technical analysis.

3. Rising Volume: Trading volume for DYDX is at its highest levels in months, showing that the breakout is supported by robust market participation.

Whale Sells Oof AAVE To Acquire UNI And DYDX

Adding to the market excitement, a whale recently sold 7,220 AAVE (worth $1.1 million) to purchase UNI and DYDX tokens, according to data from Lookonchain. The whale currently holds 10,000 AAVE (valued at $1.53 million) with a profit of $883K, alongside 546,100 UNI ($4.12 million) and 647,630 DYDX ($803K), both of which are slightly in the red.

According to DefiLlama, on-chain perpetual contracts generated $1.185 trillion in transaction volume across Q2 and Q3, with dYdX V3 & V4 capturing 14.37% of the market, ranking second behind Hyperliquid. As dYdX continues to gain momentum, all eyes are on its next moves in the decentralized exchange landscape.
