- Aptos price is down almost 70% since the January high of $18.90 amid a bearish trend.
- As token adoption and network activity grow, APT appears to have found support, potentially hinging for an upside move.
- While a break above the $9.17 level would radiate an uptrend, a fall below $5.26 would disgorge the optimism.
Aptos (APT) price has steadily descended since the beginning of the year amid growing volatility. Akin to the broader market, the token continues to suffer the brunt of a prolonged bear market and overall fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD).
Aptos price could be ready for a trend reversal
Aptos (APT) price is down a staggering 70% since the year began, consolidating within a descending parallel channel characterized by lower highs and lower lows. This technical formation indicates a bearish continuation of the overall trend. However, it can also be used to identify possible reversals depending on how bulls play their hand.
Aptos price, currently at $6.20, appears to have secured support after testing the $5.26 level during the June 10 trading session. With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) tipping upward, bullish momentum is rising, which could bode well for the APT token.
A sustained increase in buying pressure could see Aptos price ascend to confront the upper boundary of the falling parallel channel. A decisive break above the $9.17 resistance level could mark the altcoin's escape from the bearish governing pattern, suggesting the beginning of a northbound move.
Notably, the Awesome Oscillators (AO) were begging to tip in favor of the bulls, indicated by the green histogram. This points to the growing effort among bulls. If nurtured, it could also be an enabler for Aptos price.

Nevertheless, cognizant of the AO indicator's position in the negative zone and the price strength of the RSI below 50, the odds still favor the bears. Therefore, an increase in selling pressure could see the altcoin fall below the $5.26 support level, potentially leading to a continued consolidation within the bearish technical pattern. Such a move could see the token retest the $3.12 support floor.
