“The token has support at the $1.69 level and resistance at $1.80.”, — write: www.coindesk.com
The broader market gauge, the CoinDesk 20 index (CD20), was 0.7% lower at publication time.
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 became 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.

- Key resistance zone between $1.78-$1.80 where volume-driven rejection occurs
