  "evidence": "Today is November 13, 2026 (2026-11-13).\n== MAIN QUESTION: why is AERO down today\nSpectre headline: Why Aero is down 9.0% today\nSpectre read: AERO is the ticker of two different coins: Aerodrome Finance and Aero. This answer is about Aerodrome Finance; Aero is a separate coin. Aero is −15.9% this week, in line with its backdrop: Base trading slowed this week and Base DeFi tokens are down too (median −6.2%). Backdrop: Base this week: DEX volume down 14% on the week before ($4.33B a day); ETH −12.8% in 7 days; Base DeFi tokens: median −6.2% over 7 days; 6 of 38 up.\nSpectre AI answer: Aero is down 9.0% today, a pullback inside a broader Base‑chain sell‑off. Base trading slowed this week, with DEX volume down 14% and Base DeFi tokens down a median of −6.2% over seven days, while ETH fell 12.8% in the same period. The token’s own catalysts include a Nov 2 announcement of an on‑chain market system for faster, cheaper 24/7 trading and revenue sharing (@aeroxyz). Team activity has slowed, with no posts in the last seven days and 12 in the past month (@aerodromefi). Watch for the upcoming rollout of the Autopilot feature for sAERO holders, slated to go live within 72 hours of Oct 30, 2026 (@aeroxyz).\nBigger picture (Spectre data; dollar figures in USD): {\"subject\":{\"id\":\"aerodrome-finance\",\"symbol\":\"AERO\",\"name\":\"Aero\"},\"chain\":{\"name\":\"Base\",\"native\":{\"id\":\"ethereum\",\"symbol\":\"ETH\",\"name\":\"Ethereum\"},\"dexDailyAvg7d\":\"4.33B\",\"dexChange7dPct\":\"-14.35%\",\"dex24h\":\"5.27B\",\"nativeChange7d\":\"-12.78%\",\"nativeSymbol\":\"ETH\"},\"sector\":{\"sector\":\"defi\",\"label\":\"DeFi tokens\",\"chain\":\"Base\",\"count\":\"38\",\"median7d\":\"-6.25%\",\"median24h\":\"-1.22%\",\"up7d\":\"6\",\"leaders\":[{\"symbol\":\"LINK\",\"change7d\":\"-7.98%\"},{\"symbol\":\"ENA\",\"change7d\":\"-15.48%\"},{\"symbol\":\"AAVE\",\"change7d\":\"-14.06%\"}]},\"cycle\":{\"change24h\":\"-8.95%\",\"change7d\":\"-15.91%\",\"change30d\":\"-46.24%\",\"change1y\":null,\"fromHigh\":\"-37.89\",\"highDate\":\"2026-10-23T11:49:40.000Z\",\"since\":null},\"catalysts\":[{\"date\":\"2026-11-02T14:58:19.000Z\",\"text\":\"AERO announces its onchain market system for faster, cheaper 24/7 trading and revenue sharing\",\"kind\":\"Product update\",\"source\":\"@aeroxyz\",\"url\":\"https://x.com/aeroxyz/status/2117270085039718771\"},{\"date\":\"2026-10-31T20:38:37.000Z\",\"text\":\"Metaswaps enables one‑click token swaps across chains without bridging or gas on the destination side\",\"kind\":\"Product update\",\"source\":\"@wagmiAlexander\",\"url\":\"https://x.com/wagmiAlexander/status/2116630945742946481\"},{\"date\":\"2026-10-31T18:42:18.000Z\",\"text\":\"Coinbase and Binance will add support for $AERO next week\",\"kind\":\"Listing\",\"source\":\"@wagmiAlexander\",\"url\":\"https://x.com/wagmiAlexander/status/2116601675553378776\"},{\"date\":\"2026-10-31T17:19:40.000Z\",\"text\":\"Autopilot feature launched for sAERO holders to automate pool selection and revenue claiming\",\"kind\":\"Product update\",\"source\":\"@aeroxyz\",\"url\":\"https://x.com/aeroxyz/status/2116580878721954080\"},{\"date\":\"2026-10-30T20:58:02.000Z\",\"text\":\"Autopilot feature will go live within 72 hours for sAERO holders\",\"kind\":\"Product update\",\"source\":\"@aeroxyz\",\"url\":\"https://x.com/aeroxyz/status/2116273445550080093\"}],\"upcoming\":[],\"team\":{\"lastPostAt\":\"2026-11-02T14:58:19.000Z\",\"posts7d\":\"0\",\"posts30d\":\"12\",\"activeDays7d\":\"0\",\"state\":\"slowing\",\"label\":\"Slowing\",\"handle\":\"aerodromefi\"},\"liquidity\":{\"volume24h\":\"28.21M\",\"turnoverPct\":\"8.01%\",\"thin\":false},\"disclosure\":null,\"marketTone\":{\"posts\":\"341\",\"bullPct\":\"74%\",\"bearPct\":\"21%\",\"baselineBullPct\":\"76%\",\"credibleBullPct\":\"42%\",\"credibleBearPct\":\"53%\",\"poorBullPct\":\"65%\"},\"crowd\":{\"mentions7d\":\"121\",\"authors7d\":\"61\",\"velocity\":\"0.459\"},\"intel\":{\"cg_id\":\"aerodrome-finance\",\"symbol\":\"AERO\",\"generated_at\":\"2026-11-13T07:46:35.324Z\",\"xdash\":{\"as_of\":\"2026-11-13T07:26:05.710187+00:00\",\"mentions_24h\":\"10\",\"mentions_7d\":\"121\",\"authors_24h\":\"9\",\"authors_7d\":\"61\",\"velocity_ratio\":\"0.46%\",\"pace\":\"well below its usual pace\",\"novelty_ratio\":\"0.56%\",\"clean_signal\":\"0.715\",\"promo_share\":\"0\",\"unique_author_share\":\"0.9\",\"crowding\":\"0.116\",\"alerts\":[\"broadening\"],\"durability\":\"0.661\",\"coordinated_clusters\":\"1\",\"voices\":[{\"handle\":\"Joshuwa\",\"name\":\"Joshuwa Roomsburg\",\"kind\":\"promoter\"},{\"handle\":\"BSCNews\",\"name\":\"BSCN\",\"kind\":null},{\"handle\":\"boogiedotfun\",\"name\":\"Boogie👻 (awoo arc)\",\"kind\":\"promoter\"},{\"handle\":\"All_Things_Mad\",\"name\":\"AllThingsMADNESS (aka The Useless Hosico Guy) 🏦\",\"kind\":\"commentator\"},{\"handle\":\"koolkrypto223\",\"name\":\"KoolKrypto\",\"kind\":\"promoter\"},{\"handle\":\"aeroxyz\",\"name\":\"Aero\",\"kind\":\"commentator\"}],\"segment\":\"opportunity\",\"category\":\"Decentralized Exchange (DEX)\"},\"xdash_agent\":null,\"crowd_pressure\":{\"as_of\":\"2026-11-13T04:00:00.000Z\",\"crowd_pct\":\"29th percentile\",\"level\":\"normal\",\"drivers\":[\"taker buying (24h) high (+0.9σ)\",\"ran vs the market (7d) low (-0.9σ)\",\"\nAERO is the ticker of two different coins: Aerodrome Finance and Aero.
