Bears outperformed the bulls
Despite the launch, which was a promising development, a look at APT’s daily chart revealed the reason behind the plummet. The MACD revealed that Aptos bears were ahead of the bulls. APT’s Money Flow Index (MFI) was resting below the neutral mark, which too was a development in the sellers’ favor.
Both the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) took a sideways path and were lingering close to the neutral level at press time.

Possibility of an Aptos revival?
Though APT failed to make the investors happy during the last day, chances of a trend reversal could not be ruled out as several of the network developments looked in APT’s favor. Apart from the launch of Aptos Collective, another recent development was the success of the Aptos Seoul Hack.

Interestingly, Kings Charts tweeted a new analysis that too gave hope for better days ahead. According to the tweet, APT was following a similar trend that SOL had followed earlier, giving rise to the possibility of whales driving APT’s price upward in the coming days.

As per Santiment’s chart, APT’s development activity was on the rise, which was a positive sign because it represented increased developer efforts to improve the network. Moreover, positive sentiments around APT were higher compared to negative sentiments, suggesting investors’ trust in Aptos.
However, LunarCrush’s data suggested that APT’s volatility decreased considerably over the last few days, which could restrict a northbound breakout in the near term.
