Strong volume and technical momentum distinguished APT’s gains from the broader market action. Dec 9, 2025, 6:50 pm

APT$1.8991 gained 7.8% to $1.91 over the last 24 hours, outpacing the broader cryptocurrency market as institutional flows drove price through key technical resistance.

The rally advanced from $1.78 to $1.91, establishing clear upward momentum with support holding firm at the $1.74 level, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.

The broader market gauge, the CoinDesk 20 index, was 5.% higher at publication time.

Trading volume validated APT’s breakout move, according to the model. Activity was 30% above the 30-day average, signaling genuine institutional interest rather than retail-driven volatility.

The model showed that the volume spiked to 4.83 million tokens, 142% above the 24-hour average, as the price broke through $1.80 resistance.

Each successive move higher attracts increasing institutional participation, the model said.
Aptos is facing a $19.8 million token unlock on Dec.12, equivalent to 1.5% of the token’s market cap.

Technical Analysis:

  • Strong support established at $1.74 with resistance at $1.90 psychological level
  • 24-hour activity exceeds the monthly baseline by 30%, indicating substantive institutional participation
  • Clean ascending channel formation with higher lows at $1.81, $1.846, and $1.858
  • Next upside target at $1.90 aligns with broader bullish trajectory; stop-loss below $1.74 support
