by

  • Aptos has seen increased user activity in recent days.
  • The price of APT is set to drop further with a drop in token accumulation.

After a prolonged rally in prices, falling buying pressure sent Aptos lower [APT] price in the last week. However, according to data from Artemisamid a decline in APT value, the past few days have been marked by increased user activity for the Layer 1 (L1) proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain.

APT is for sale, but few are interested

At press time, APT was trading at $13.49. After the alt price peaked at $19.86 on January 26, it has since fallen 32%.

The steep decline in APT price over the past two weeks is due to waning buying pressure. An evaluation of the token’s price movement on the price chart revealed this.

Key momentum indicators previously at overbought highs have been spotted near oversold areas at press time. APT’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) was below its neutral point at 48.88, while the Money Flow Index (MFI) was attached at 35.29.

These showed that the buying momentum has weakened significantly in recent weeks as many traders proceeded to cash out their profits from their initial investments.

With the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) below the center line at -0.05, the price of APT would inevitably fall further. A negative CMF value indicates that there is more selling pressure than buying pressure. Therefore, as long as the CMF remains in decline, it is reasonable to expect that the APT price may continue to decline.
