Key Takeaways
Last week, the Aptos price fell, breaking a trend of five successive bullish weekly candlesticks.
However, it quickly regained footing, created a long lower wick, and retraced almost all of its losses.
The recovery took APT back to a long-term descending resistance trend line, which has existed since the all-time high.
Can APT break out from this resistance, and if so, how much further will it increase? Let’s find out.
The weekly time frame chart shows that APT has fallen under a descending resistance trend line since the all-time high of $20.40 in January. The resistance has existed for 693 days. So far, it has been validated thrice (black icons), most recently in December.
The final rejection triggered a downward movement that led to a low of $10.41. However, APT regained footing and created a long lower wick (white icon), validating the $10.70 horizontal area as support. Such wicks are considered signs of buying pressure.
After bouncing, the APT price has nearly returned to the resistance trend line, currently at $15.30. If it breaks out, there will only be minor resistance left until the Aptos all-time high.

Technical indicators imply the upward movement will continue. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) are increasing and above their bullish thresholds at 50 and 0, respectively.
Also, the RSI has almost crossed above 70, historically leading to parabolic rallies.
So, the weekly time frame price action and indicator readings predict an APT breakout and a new all-time high.
The long-term APT wave count aligns with the positive price action and indicator readings. The most likely wave count shows a completed A-B-C correction (black) that has been ongoing since the all-time high.
If the count is accurate, the price started a new five-wave increase in August (white) and is currently in wave two.
Based on the weekly time frame, it is unclear if wave two is over or if the APT price will fall again to complete it. However, an eventual breakout and new APT all-time high is likely.
The 1.61 external Fibonacci retracement of the decline creates the first target for the top of the upward movement at $30.25.

The short-term count suggests the correction is over. The sub-wave count is in yellow, displaying a completed irregular flat correction.
The pattern is confirmed by reclaiming the range low (black icon) and breakout above the range high afterward.

therefore, the APT price will likely break out from its long-term resistance soon, moving upward toward the all-time high and target of $30.25.
The Aptos price has strengthened by retracing most of last week’s correction.
If APT breaks out from the resistance trend line as expected, it can increase to a new all-time high and a target of $30.25.
