Aptos’ APT retreats as market-wide crypto weakness persists.

Aptos’ APT token dipped 1% over the past 24 hours to $1.56, following broader weakness across the crypto market. At the time of writing, the CoinDesk 20 index was down 0.6%.

During the session, APT traded in a $1.62–$1.56 range, reflecting roughly 3.6% intraday volatility, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical model. Price action showed a persistent battle at $1.63 resistance, with bulls unable to sustain upward momentum amid thin holiday trading. Support near $1.56 held firm, limiting further downside.

Volume surged 71% above the 24-hour average to 4.69 million tokens, coinciding with selling pressure after the token peaked at $1.62, the model noted. Earlier in the session, APT completed a double-bottom pattern at $1.52 support before rallying through $1.56, establishing a short-term base.

Technically, primary resistance remains near $1.66 after multiple rejections, while support consolidates around $1.56. Overall volume is roughly 11% below 30-day averages, signaling some trader fatigue, though spikes above 46,000 tokens indicate pockets of accumulation.

Looking ahead, a clear break above the $1.58–$1.585 resistance zone could open the path to further gains, while a move below $1.56 would put the $1.52 support back into focus.
