APT Price Rally May Be Short-Lived as Momentum Fades
Aptos (APT) price surged by 17% in a single session to $0.67, reaching the upper Bollinger Band resistance.
The move appears explosive on a chart, but upon closer inspection, it's revealed that open interest fell by 4.13%, indicating that the fuel behind this move was trapped shorts getting blown out, not new conviction longs building a position.
Binance spot volume of $16.99M is decent but not enough to signal a structural trend change for Layer-1 assets, which have been bleeding out for months.
The momentum picture behind this move is the real tell, with the MACD histogram going completely flat after the initial burst, and stochastics pushing into elevated territory suggesting a bearish cross is a realistic near-term outcome if buyers don't step back in with force.
