Aptos (APT) Dips 12%—New Innovations Fail to Spark Momentum

Este artículo también está disponible en español.

Although the market is attempting to rebound from its weak September start, some altcoins – including Aptos (APT) – continue to freefall despite the bulls’ attempts to make a return. According to CoinGecko, APT’s current performance is lackluster with the token falling 15% since last week.

Aptos Continues Drive Down Towards $5.74

As of writing, APT bulls have been aiming to wrestle control of the token’s momentum in the short term. However, the bears are pressing their advantage, targeting $5.74 in the short-term timeframe after flipping the $6.12 support to resistance.

The market’s continuous downward trajectory is the primary reason for APT’s underperformance. Driven by FUD from the broader financial market that bled to the crypto market, APT might face continued losses in the coming weeks.

APT’s relative strength index (RSI) suggests that the token’s downward trajectory will continue well below the $5.74 support level. If this occurs, it might lead to a bigger sell-off localized on APT’s market.

This thesis has a larger possibility to occur as CoinGlass notes that short positions outnumber long positions in the past 24 hours further strengthening the token’s bearish trajectory.

Investors and traders should monitor the coming release of macro indicators due today. As the markets continue to price in a broader downturn, positive macros will provide the needed boost for both the traditional markets and the crypto market in the long term.
