The broader market gauge, the CoinDesk 20 index, was 5.% higher at publication time.

Trading volume validated APT's breakout move, according to the model. Activity was 30% above the 30-day average, signaling genuine institutional interest rather than retail-driven volatility.

The model showed that volume spiked to 4.83 million tokens, 142% above the 24-hour average, as price broke through $1.80 resistance.

Each successive move higher attracts increasing institutional participation, the model said.
Aptos is facing a $19.8 million token unlock on Dec.12, equivalent to 1.5% of the token's market cap.

Technical Analysis:

  • Strong support established at $1.74 with resistance at $1.90 psychological level
  • 24-hour activity exceeds monthly baseline by 30%, indicating substantive institutional participation
  • Clean ascending channel formation with higher lows at $1.81, $1.846, and $1.858
  • Next upside target at $1.90 aligns with broader bullish trajectory; stop-loss below $1.74 support
