– A look at the APT 12-hour chart showed that it was bullish at press time.
– Although APT’s trading volume improved significantly, the overall sentiment witnessed a decline.
Since the end-February, Aptos [APT] oscillated between $10 and $14. Throughout the first half of April, the price action was below the range’s mid-level of $12. But on 13 April, bulls closed above the mid-level, tipping bulls to focus on the upper range boundary.
However, Bitcoin’s [BTC] recent sideways structure has set APT to consolidate narrowly near $12 after retesting $13. Nevertheless, the price action has retested a key value area that could tip bulls to advance further if BTC surges beyond $30.4k.

APT’s pullback retest key value area of $12.2
On the 12-hour chart, the RSI retreated but remained bullish. In addition, the stochastic RSI retreated from the overbought zone, too – capturing the ongoing pullback retest on the key value area of the Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR) of $12.2 (red line). But the Average Directional Index (ADX) surged, suggesting the uptrend momentum was still strong.
As such, APT’s value could appreciate further and target the range’s upper boundary of $14 if bulls defend the range support of $11.94 – $12.25. Ergo, buying at current levels could offer a good risk ratio, especially if the APT/USDT pair makes a new monthly high and BTC surges above $30.4k. A bullish breakout could push APT to the $18 level.
A close below the range’s mid-level of $12.0 will invalidate the above bullish thesis. Such a move could sink APT to $10.93 or the channel’s lower boundary of $10.0. These levels can act as short-selling targets in such a downswing scenario.

Unfortunately, the weighted sentiment flipped to negative, which could undermine a strong recovery and push toward $14. In addition, the weekly price volatility remained low, indicating a price steadied into the narrow consolidation near $12.
