The token underperformed the broader crypto market, and its trading volume remained subdued throughout the period. The broader crypto market gauge, the Coindesk 20 index, was 1.1% higher at the time of publication.

The model showed that APT Price carved out a $0.16 range representing 4.6% of current levels as it advanced from session lows near $3.45.

Volume spiked to 2.48 million shares on Oct. 26, marking a 68% surge above the 24-hour average of 1.47 million, before quickly fading as the price hit resistance at $3.63, according to the model.

Multiple failed breakout attempts at the $3.60-$3.63 zone established this level as a critical technical barrier, the model said.

The combination of modest gains paired with tepid volume typically signals retail-driven activity rather than meaningful institutional flows, suggesting traders remain in a wait-and-see mode at current levels.

Technical Analysis:

  • Primary support holds at $3.48-$3.485 after successful defense during the recent pullback, while resistance stays firm at $3.60-$3.63 following multiple rejection attempts
  • 24-hour volume averaged 7.9% above the 7-day moving average but missed the 5% institutional engagement threshold, pointing to retail-driven flows rather than significant capital deployment
  • V-bottom formation in a 60-minute timeframe suggests a short-term bullish structure, with higher lows from $3.45 to $3.48 confirming near-term uptrend momentum
  • Breakout above $3.63 resistance targets the $3.75 level for potential 7% upside, while violation of $3.48 support exposes the $3.40-$3.45 zone
