The declined occurred against a backdrop of notably subdued trading activity, with APT's volume running 16% below its 30-day average, suggesting limited institutional conviction behind the price advance, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model. The model showed that Aptos established a volatile trading range with a total fluctuation of $0.12, representing 6.7% of the token's value. Technical analysis reveals significant resistance emerging near $1.78 during an early morning breakout attempt that failed on elevated volume, according to the model. In the absence of clear fundamental drivers, technical levels become paramount as the token consolidated between established support at $1.69 and resistance near $1.80. The recovery from intraday lows demonstrates underlying buying interest that prevents a more significant breakdown, the model said. Technical Analysis Key resistance zone between $1.78-$1.80 where volume-driven rejection occurs Near-term ceiling at $1.72 based on recent consolidation highs 24-hour volume deficit of 16% versus 30-day average indicates weak conviction Established range-bound consolidation between $1.69-$1.80 boundaries Upside targets: Initial resistance $1.72, extended target $1.78-$1.80 zone Downside risks: Support test at $1.69, breakdown level below $1.66 Disclaimer : Parts of this article were generated with the assistance from AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence to our standards.
