Aptos Price Prediction – Why APT Could Soon Rally to $1

Highlights:

• Aptos rallies intraday, backed by a 25% increase in trading volumes.
• Technical breakout and an improving macro environment are pushing APT higher.
• A continuation of the ongoing rally could see Aptos hit $1 in the short term.

Aptos is up strongly today, outperforming on a relatively calm day for the market. When writing, Aptos was trading at $0.608, up 9.34% in the day. Aptos trading volumes are also on the rise for the day, rising 27% to stand at $110.8 million when going to press. The rising price momentum backed by strong volumes indicates that buyers are coming in strongly and could push Aptos higher in the short term. While there is no major fundamental news around Aptos, there are a couple of important factors that support more upside in the short term. 

Technical Breakout Drawing In Leveraged Buyers to Aptos

One of them is the fact that Aptos is in a technical breakout. Aptos price action recently saw it break out of a consolidation in the Mid-0.50s. The breakout saw Aptos rally to $0.60, which multiple traders see as a key resistance zone. With Aptos trading volumes rising, traders are increasingly counting on a potential rally from around $0.60 to $1, or even higher, based purely on technical price action. The result is that Aptos is drawing in a higher number of leveraged buyers than most altcoins intraday. As more of these traders come in and FOMO builds up, Aptos could see a much stronger uptrend as it pushes to the $1 mark. 

The excitement around Aptos technical setup is also evident in the fact that traders are going long despite an upcoming token unlock. Usually, token unlocks trigger price corrections due to anticipation around an increase in supply. The fact that Aptos is going up even with an impending unlock goes to show that the average trader believes the current demand can comfortably absorb all the momentum. This is likely to inspire even more leveraged buyers and push Aptos much higher in the short to medium term. 

Rising Bitcoin ETF Inflows Drive Investor Confidence in Aptos

Aptos is also being pushed higher by the fact that Bitcoin price action supports positive altcoin price action. Despite all that is happening in the geopolitical space, Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows yesterday, September 2. This has given the markets the impression that institutional investors are positive about Bitcoin’s future.

Since altcoins generally trade in the direction of Bitcoin, those showing strong momentum early could see FOMO buildup going into the future. For Aptos, which is already showing some major price action intraday backed by positive technicals, this could mean a much stronger rally going into the foreseeable future. 

Stabilizing Bond Markets Adding to Aptos Intraday Momentum

The macro environment also favours an Aptos rally in the short to medium term. Recently, there has been elevated volatility around the bond markets. Long-term bond yields have been spiralling out of control, with the US 10-year bond hitting a multi-year high of 4.8%.

Market fear has been further elevated by the fact that attempts by the US Treasury to stabilize the bond markets appeared not to be working sustainably. However, this is starting to change. Bond yields have, over the last 24 hours, started to stabilize, which is exciting for risk-on assets. As the broader market turns bullish, Aptos, which is already showing strength relative to the rest of the market, could see the most gains. 

Technical Analysis – Aptos Price Sustains Momentum After Bounce Off Support

Aptos continues pushing higher after a bounce off the $0.517 multi-week support on August 31. If bulls sustain momentum, the key level to watch for Aptos would be the $0.71 minor resistance. A surge through this level could see Aptos hit a high of $1 in the foreseeable future.

However, if the bulls lose momentum, two scenarios could play out in the short term. The first is a correction back to the $0.517 support, followed by consolidation. The other scenario is that bears take control and push Aptos to prices under $0.40. Of these scenarios, a rally to $1 is more likely. This is due to the return of risk-on sentiment in the markets as the bond markets start to stabilize.
