APT Slides 4% as Market-Wide Retreat Pressures Altcoins

Aptos’ APT token slid 4% in the past 24 hours, trading in a volatile 10% range, CoinDesk Research data shows. The token reached a session high of $4.80 before dropping to $4.38, later consolidating near $4.43–$4.45.

Support formed in the $4.38–$4.41 zone, where institutional buying helped stabilize prices after a 9% intraday decline. The recovery toward $4.45 pointed to early signs of market stabilization, with resistance now set at $4.50.

APT’s decline followed weakness across crypto markets, with the CoinDesk 20 Index down 3.2%. At last check, Aptos traded 3.7% lower at $4.43.

On the adoption front, the EXPO2025 digital wallet built on Aptos surpassed 500,000 new accounts and processed 4.4 million transactions. In a milestone for the ecosystem, Aave launched on Aptos — its first-ever deployment on a non-EVM chain.

Technical indicators showed strong volume at $4.38–$4.41 and multiple rallies driving a breakout above $4.41 resistance. Analysts now see $4.50 as the next key psychological barrier.
