Aptos Price to Continue the Upside Bullish Momentum

Aptos’ price is trading well within the confines of a rising parallel channel after a recent correction. The bulls show no signs of stopping anytime soon, as they have printed long green candlesticks, with the green wick currently touching the $13.72 level in the daily chart timeframe. 

Initial buy orders coincided notably with the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) (green) at 11.46. Moreover, the current technical picture seems vital for a more significant breakout. Aptos holds above all bullish indicators in the short term, with the 50-day SMA (green) at $11.42 and the 200-day SMA (blue) at $8.34 in line to offer support. However, to be safe, bulls must uphold higher support at $14.29 to encourage already sidelined investors to join the uptrend without worrying about sudden corrections.

Based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) position at 56.54, it tilts the odds towards the buyers. Moreover, there is more room for upside before Apto’s price is considered overbought. Increased buying pressure at this level will cause the Aptos price to rise above the upper boundary of the rising channel. 

The moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator upholds the bearish picture with a sell signal. While traders sought exposure to APT as the blue MACD line crossed above the orange signal line, they were likely to close positions if the opposite happened. In other words, traders will be inclined to sell if the blue MACD line flips below the orange signal line.

Aptos Price Poised for a Rally to $20

With the recent developments surrounding Aptos and the bullish sentiment in the Aptos market, the token may rally to $20 soon. This can be backed by the recent developments of Aptos native USDT on Binance. Moreover, the Aptos Foundation’s opening a new office in ADGM could also result in an uptick. All these factors could lead to Aptos’ market exposure, leading to potential investors flocking to APT.

If the support levels stay intact, the Aptos price could obliterate the $14.79 resistance and rally to $17.5 or above $20. On the other hand, if the bears step into the market and the whole market turns negative, Aptos may fall, chasing the 11.42 support level.
