Aptos Tumbles 6% to $1.85 Following Sharp Technical Breakdown

Aptos (APT) fell through key support levels, underperforming the broader crypto market, where the CoinDesk 20 index was down 2.5% at the time of publication.

Trading volume remained muted at just 10.8% of the 30-day average, suggesting the decline lacked broad participation, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical model. The token formed a $0.17 trading range, reflecting 8.5% volatility, as multiple waves of selling pressure pushed APT to fresh session lows.

Recent price action, however, shows early signs of stabilization. A potential double-bottom formed near $1.842, signaling that institutional buyers may be stepping in at these levels. CoinDesk’s model described this as the first technical positive after several days of persistent weakness.

Technical Analysis:

  • Double-bottom support holds at $1.842, with psychological resistance at $1.90. The former breakdown level at $1.87 now acts as overhead supply.
  • Heavy selling volume of 3.54 million confirms the breakdown, while subsequent lighter volume points to reduced selling pressure.
  • A descending trendline break completes the $0.17 range decline, with the double-bottom indicating a potential floor.
  • Immediate resistance targets $1.87, while downside risk extends to $1.80 if the double-bottom fails.
