Aptos (APT) fell sharply on Thursday, sliding nearly 4% to a low of $4.75 before recovering to stabilize around $4.77. The decline came amid renewed trade tensions and broader macroeconomic uncertainty, contributing to heavy selling across digital asset markets.
The APT token showed pronounced intraday volatility, trading within a 3.6% range — from a high of $4.945 to a session low of $4.751 — as investors rotated out of risk assets. Despite the selloff, Aptos has reclaimed some lost ground, recovering nearly half of its daily losses by session close.
Technical Overview:
- Resistance Zone: $4.83–$4.86
- Support Zone: $4.77 (high-volume support tested multiple times)
- Intraday Range: $4.945 to $4.751
- Trading Volume: 1.25M total, with a surge above 30K units/minute during the heaviest selling window
- Price Movement: APT declined 2.1% within an hour (from $4.864 to $4.762), forming a short-term descending channel
- Current Price: Stabilized near $4.771, indicating potential for consolidation
While bears briefly took control, the emergence of strong volume-backed support around $4.77 and a modest recovery signal that buyers are beginning to step back in. The token’s ability to hold this level may be key to determining the near-term trajectory.
Meanwhile, the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) — a broad benchmark of top digital assets — was down over 2% at the time of reporting, reflecting broader market weakness.
