Can Aptos retest its March highs after latest 20% hike?

• A sustained bull rally might allow Aptos to retest its March highs
• Metrics showed that APT whales have been receiving more exposure in the market

Aptos [APT] has performed very well over the last seven days, with the altcoin registering double-digit growth. Thanks to the same, the token even managed to break above a multi-month bullish pattern, a breakout which could soon result in APT doubling its price. 

Aptos breaks above a pattern

According to CoinMarketCap, Aptos bulls pushed the token’s price up by more than 20% in the last seven days. The bullish trend continued in the last 24 hours too as APT’s value hiked by over 7%. At the time of writing, APT was trading at $7.11 with a market capitalization of over $3.44 billion. 

Surprisingly, despite the latest price hike, Aptos’ weighted sentiment declined. This suggested that bearish sentiment around the token has been rising. Its social volume also fell, underlining a drop in the altcoin’s popularity.

While that happened, the token broke above a bullish falling wedge pattern. The pattern appeared in March, and APT’s price consolidated inside it, only to break out a few days ago.

This breakout indicated that APT might see 2x growth and retest its March highs soon. However, before targeting its March highs, the token has to first jump above its resistance levels at $10.17 and $14.4 in the coming weeks.
