Aptos drops 6% to $1.85 as technical breakdown accelerates.

What to know:

  • APT fell from $1.98 to $1.85, breaking through critical $1.87 support on heavy volume.
  • A double-bottom pattern has emerged near $1.84 as buyers step in at key technical level.

APT$1.8340 weakened sharply during Friday's session, dropping 6% to $1.85 as technical selling overwhelmed buyers.

The token lagged the broader crypto market, with the CoinDesk 20 index down 2.5% at publication time.

Trading volume remained subdued at just 10.8% of the 30-day average, suggesting APT's decline lacks broad participation, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model.

The model showed that Aptos carved out a $0.17 trading range representing 8.5% volatility as multiple waves of selling pressure established fresh session lows.

Recent price action shows signs of stabilization.

The token formed a potential double-bottom pattern near $1.842, suggesting that institutional buyers have emerged at these depressed levels, according to the model.

This constructive development provides the first technical bright spot after days of persistent weakness, the model said.

Technical Analysis:

  • Double-bottom support holds at $1.842 with psychological resistance at $1.90 and breakdown level at $1.87 now acting as overhead supply
  • Heavy selling volume of 3.54 million confirms breakdown legitimacy while subsequent light volume suggests reduced selling pressure
  • Descending trendline break completes $0.17 range decline with double-bottom formation indicating potential floor
  • Immediate resistance targets $1.87 former support with downside exposure to $1.80 if double-bottom fails

Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated

The post Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. X account @SaniExp, which belongs to the founder of the Timechain Index explorer, has published data showing that a dormant BTC wallet was activated after hibernating for six years. However, it was set up 13 years ago, according to the tweet — the time when Satoshi Nakamoto’s shadow was still casting itself around, so to speak. The X post states that the tweet belongs to infamous early Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, which suffered from a major hack in the early 2010s, and last year it began paying out compensation to clients who lost their crypto in that hack. The deadline was eventually extended to October 2025. Mt. Gox’s wallet with 1,000 BTC reactivated The above-mentioned data source shared a screenshot from the Timechain Index explorer, showing multiple transactions marked as confirmed and moving a total of 1,000 Bitcoins. This amount of crypto is valued at $116,195,100 at the time of the initiated transaction. Last year, Mt. Gox began to move the remains of its gargantuan funds to pay out compensations to its creditors. Earlier this year, it also made several massive transactions to partner exchanges to distribute funds to Mt. Gox investors. All of the compensations were promised to be paid out by Oct. 31, 2025. The aforementioned transaction is likely preparation for another payout. The exchange was hacked for several years due to multiple unnoticed security breaches, and in 2014, when the site went offline, 744,408 Bitcoins were reported stolen.

Bitcoin 8% Gains Already Make September 2025 Its Second Best

Bitcoin 8% Gains Already Make September 2025 Its Second Best

The post Bitcoin 8% Gains Already Make September 2025 Its Second Best appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key points: Bitcoin is bucking seasonality trends by adding 8%, making this September its best since 2012. September 2025 would need to see 20% upside to become Bitcoin’s strongest ever. BTC price volatility is at levels rarely seen before in an unusual bull cycle. Bitcoin (BTC) has gained more this September than any year since 2012, a new bull market record. Historical price data from CoinGlass and BiTBO confirms that at 8%, Bitcoin’s September 2025 upside is its second-best ever. Bitcoin avoiding “Rektember” with 8% gains September is traditionally Bitcoin’s weakest month, with average losses of around 8%. BTC/USD monthly returns (screenshot). Source: CoinGlass This year, the stakes are high for BTC price seasonality, as historical patterns demand the next bull market peak and other risk assets set repeated new all-time highs. While both gold and the S&P 500 are in price discovery, BTC/USD has coiled throughout September after setting new highs of its own the month prior. Even at “just” 8%, however, this September’s performance is currently enough to make it Bitcoin’s strongest in 13 years. The only time that the ninth month of the year was more profitable for Bitcoin bulls was in 2012, when BTC/USD gained about 19.8%. Last year, upside topped out at 7.3%. BTC/USD monthly returns.
