- Aptos price action shows promise for higher prices.
- The blockchain’s TVL, transaction counts and speed witness growth.
Aptos [APT] has been on a downward trend since April, with price movements following a descending trendline since May. The APT/USDT pair on the daily chart has touched this trendline four times, each time facing rejection.
However, during the fourth touch, the price did not drop to a lower low, indicating a potential weakening of the bearish trend.
Additionally, a head and shoulders pattern has formed, a common signal for price reversals if the neckline is broken and sustained above.
For APT to confirm the $4.30 level as the floor for the current cycle, the price must break and remain above the $7.50 level.

Achieving this could set the stage for a potential rise towards or beyond $10 by the end of this year or early 2025 as more metrics have shown.
