APT Rises 2.3%, Outperforms Wider Crypto Market

APT$1.9565 advanced 2.4% to $1.90 over the last 24 hours.

The token outperformed the broader crypto market while trading volume spiked 40% above its 30-day average. The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) added 1.5% in the same period.

The token’s combination of contained price movement with elevated activity typically signals institutional positioning ahead of larger moves, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.

The model showed that muted price action masked underlying accumulation dynamics that traders monitor for breakout signals.

APT established higher lows within a $0.14 range, the model said.

The 7.6% intraday range represents normal volatility for the layer-1 token, yet the volume surge suggests smart money accumulated positions without aggressively pushing prices higher, according to the model.

Technical Analysis:

• Immediate support holds at $1.88 with resistance capping moves near $1.91, while broader structure shows the $1.88 floor targeting $1.92
• A 40% volume spike above the monthly average concentrated during morning session, indicating institutional accumulation patterns
• Three consecutive higher lows confirm an uptrend structure as momentum builds above $1.90 pivot level
• Next resistance at $1.92 aligns with hourly trend projections while the current $1.90 level offers consolidation base for further advances
