Here’s why Aptos price is on the verge of a big breakout

Aptos, a top layer-1 network, is showing resilience even as its token hovers near its lowest level since 2023. The Aptos ( APT ) token was trading at $5.90 on Tuesday, slightly above the year-to-date low of $4.60. This price is about 62% below the highest point in December last year. The recent decline in Aptos price comes even as its ecosystem continues to grow. According to DeFi Llama , the total value locked in the Aptos network has jumped to $1.06 billion. Most of these assets are in Aries Markets, a lending protocol with over $391 million in assets. Echelon Market, another top platform in the network, holds over $178 million, while Cellana Finance has $26.7 million. Other leading liquid staking platforms in the Aptos ecosystem include Amnis Finance, Echo Protocol, and Thala. You might also like: Can XRP price hit $5?

This increase signals rising user engagement with decentralized applications within the ecosystem. Aptos revenue has also continued to rise this year. Its application revenue climbed to a record high of $205,000 in February and stands at $201,000 this month. These revenue figures are smaller than those of other chains because Aptos users are drawn to the network’s lower fees.

Aptos remains below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average, indicating that bears are currently in control. On the positive side, the coin has formed a large double-bottom pattern with a neckline at $15.3. This pattern is considered one of the most bullish reversal signals in the market. Therefore, APT could bounce back in the coming days, with the next key target being at $12.13, the 50% retracement point, which would represent a gain of about 105% from the current level.
