APT moves lower, mirroring broader softness in the crypto market.

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

The token traded within a $1.62–$1.56 range, reflecting roughly 3.6% intraday volatility, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical model. Bulls repeatedly tested $1.63 resistance during evening trading but were unable to gain traction, while support near $1.56 held firm amid thin holiday liquidity.

Trading volume surged 71% above the 24-hour average to 4.69 million tokens, coinciding with selling pressure after prices peaked near $1.62, the model showed. Earlier, APT formed a double-bottom at $1.52 support before rebounding through $1.56, creating a short-term base for potential upward moves.

From a technical standpoint, resistance near $1.66 remains a cap after multiple attempts to break higher, while support consolidates around $1.56. Overall volume is down about 11% compared with 30-day averages, signaling some trader fatigue, though isolated spikes above 46,000 tokens indicate selective accumulation.

A sustained break above the $1.58–$1.585 resistance zone could pave the way for further gains, whereas a decline below $1.56 would shift focus back to the $1.52 support level.
