Aptos (APT) is holding steady around $4.12–$4.14 after a volatile week, during which prices dipped to $4.06 before recovering. Trading volume also spiked by 25% to $267 million over the past 24 hours, suggesting renewed interest in the APT coin.
Despite the bounce, the Aptos price remains down more than 52% year-to-date and is still trading 79% below its all-time high of $19.90 set in January 2023.
This period of consolidation has sparked divided sentiment. Some analysts view Aptos as poised for a significant rally, while technical indicators suggest continued weakness unless momentum improves.
The upcoming Velociraptr (AIP-131) consensus upgrade, which promises a 40% reduction in block times, is adding another layer of speculation as traders weigh its potential impact on network performance and investor confidence.
Aptos Crypto Price Outlook: $6.80 or Retest of $4.30?
Technical traders on X are closely watching Aptos’ current price structure. Analyst Lennaert Snyder noted that APT is trading at all-time support levels, suggesting a potential upside move. He identified $6.80 as the first resistance target in the event of a breakout, with the potential to spark a broader bullish rally.
Another analyst, gon chain, sees APT forming a symmetrical triangle around $4.60. He suggests that a decisive move above $5, accompanied by strong trading volume, could push prices toward $9–$11, while warning that support at $4.30 could be retested if momentum fades.
Market data underscores the indecision. On the daily chart, Aptos’ RSI sits near 42, showing neutral momentum, while the CCI at -109 points to undervaluation. The longer-term moving averages remain bearish, with the 30-day at $6.20, 50-day at $6.45, and 200-day at $9.17. At $4.12, APT is well below all three.
Even so, the upcoming Velociraptr upgrade could shift sentiment. Cutting block times from 100ms to 60ms may improve throughput for DeFi and RWA projects.
Faster processing could enhance Aptos’ competitiveness and attract developers, though success will hinge on validator adoption and post-upgrade TPS performance.
