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.
