Aptos token falls as crypto market downturn weighs on prices.

Aptos’ APT token edged 1% lower over the past 24 hours to trade around $1.56, moving in line with a broader pullback across the crypto market. At the time of writing, the CoinDesk 20 index was down 0.6%.

During the session, APT traded between $1.62 and $1.56, forming a $0.06 range that reflects roughly 3.6% intraday volatility, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.

Price action highlighted a clear standoff between buyers and sellers near the $1.63 resistance level, particularly during evening trading. While bulls attempted to push higher, resistance held, and momentum faded amid thin holiday liquidity. On the downside, support remained intact near $1.56, limiting losses.

Trading activity picked up notably, with volume jumping 71% above the 24-hour average to 4.69 million tokens. That surge coincided with selling pressure after the token was rejected near the $1.62 session high, the model showed.

Earlier, APT completed a double-bottom pattern around $1.52 support before rebounding through the $1.56 level. That formation helped underpin the latest recovery attempt, even as broader market conditions remained soft.

From a technical standpoint, primary resistance continues to cap gains near $1.66 after multiple tests, while support is consolidating around $1.56. Overall trading volume is running about 11% below 30-day averages, suggesting some trader fatigue, though isolated spikes above 46,000 tokens point to selective accumulation.

Looking ahead, a decisive break above the $1.58–$1.585 resistance zone could open the door to further upside. Conversely, a sustained move below $1.56 would likely shift focus back to a retest of the $1.52 support area.
