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

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
