- Waves launches AI tools and secures $10M funding for Units Network.
- Price breaks $1.30 resistance with bullish RSI and MACD signals.
- Community campaign boosts visibility as altcoin flows support gains.
WAVES is climbing again, and traders are asking why.
Over the past 24 hours, the token has risen by 4.86%, extending its 25% weekly rally.
At press time, WAVES traded near $1.40 after moving between $1.32 and $1.54 in the last day.
This surge reflects a mix of new product launches, technical breakouts, changing market conditions, and stronger community engagement.
New AI tools by Waves lit a spark
WAVES gained traction after the introduction of new artificial intelligence (AI) products designed to support decentralised finance.
In July 2025, the Waves team launched an AI Launchpad and a Liquidity Manager aimed at automating DeFi strategies and improving liquidity efficiency.
These additions gave developers easier access to infrastructure for building and optimising protocols on Waves.
Investor sentiment strengthened further when Units Network, Waves’ EVM-compatible layer-2, secured $10 million in funding from Nimbus Capital.
This institutional backing added credibility to the roadmap and attracted speculative capital.
Traders viewed AI-driven upgrades as solutions to real challenges in DeFi, especially in liquidity optimisation, and positioned accordingly.
The market now awaits adoption figures. Metrics from Q3 2025 on Units Network and AI tool usage will determine whether the bullish momentum can convert into lasting demand for the WAVES token.
WAVES price breakout clears a key barrier
On August 18, WAVES broke through $1.30, a zone that aligned with both the 200-day moving average and a major Fibonacci resistance. That level now acts as psychological support.
Momentum indicators have confirmed the breakout. The 14-day RSI printed 68.95, showing strong trend conditions though edging toward overbought territory.
At the same time, MACD recorded a bullish crossover with a rising histogram, confirming that upward momentum had accelerated.
$1.56, the 127.2% Fibonacci extension, is now viewed as the next upside target if price holds above $1.30.
