Aptos Trades Sideways Near $3.50 as Breakout Attempts Lose Steam
October 27, 2025
Aptos (APT) remained range-bound on Monday, trading around $3.49 with little change over the past 24 hours, as subdued volume kept the token capped below key resistance levels.
According to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis, support lies at $3.48–$3.485, while resistance has solidified near $3.60–$3.63 after multiple failed breakout attempts. A clean move above that zone could open the door to $3.75, implying roughly 7% upside potential from current levels.
The token has traded within a $0.16 band—about 4.6% of its value—after rebounding from lows near $3.45. A brief volume surge on Oct. 26 saw trading jump 68% above the 24-hour average to 2.48 million tokens, but momentum quickly faded as sellers re-entered the market.
APT lagged behind the CoinDesk 20 Index, which was up 1.1% over the same period, reflecting broader market strength led by Bitcoin and Ether. Analysts said the token’s muted action points to a lack of institutional participation, with current activity appearing retail-driven.
On shorter timeframes, a V-shaped recovery pattern and a series of higher lows between $3.45 and $3.48 suggest mild bullish momentum. However, a breakdown below $3.48 could expose the token to further losses toward the $3.40–$3.45 area.
Overall, Aptos remains in a consolidation phase, with traders waiting for stronger volume and a decisive breakout to confirm the next directional move.
