Aptos Price Hits Resistance at $0.89 Amid Momentum Stall

Aptos (APT) has seen its price surge by 4.32% to $0.85, surpassing all major moving averages from the 7-day SMA to the 200-day SMA. This recovery framework suggests that the average buyer over the past year is in profit and has no reason to panic-sell.

However, the session high of exactly $0.89 coincides with the immediate resistance level and upper Bollinger Band. Markets often signal where sellers live when they want to show resistance, and this is as explicit as it gets.

The MACD histogram has printed zero, indicating a momentum engine stalling before a breakout rather than idling in neutral. The RSI at 67 is manageable, but the Stochastic oscillator is overbought, with %K at 88 and %D at 70.

Whale positioning on Binance suggests a lopsided bullish bet from informed participants, but retail traders are not far behind. However, the sell-side taker pressure is aggressive, outpacing buyers in actual real-time execution.

The open interest contraction of 10.11% in 24 hours indicates meaningful position unwinding, with traders closing contracts rather than building them.
