Highlights

Aptos achieved a testnet throughput milestone of 130,000 TPS, demonstrating major scalability advances for network operations.
The innovative AptosBFT consensus and recent high-profile airdrop have driven increased user participation and liquidity despite persistent price weakness.
APT/USD remains bearish, trading below key averages with technical signals indicating high downside risk and a $0.7224–$0.8556 range outlook.

Technical milestone and events boost visibility amid persistent selloff

Aptos achieved a test network throughput of 130,000 transactions per second, according to Godex.io, indicating a substantial technical milestone that could enable broader scalability and resilience for network participants. The adoption of the unique AptosBFT consensus mechanism has provided an added layer of reliability, attracting technical interest. Visibility was further increased by a widely discussed Airdrop event and listings on major crypto exchanges, expanding both participation and liquidity, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish momentum prevails as price tests major resistance bands

APT/USD is currently trading below the MA-20 ($0.8215), MA-50 ($0.8484), and MA-200 ($1.3062), with the Ichimoku Kijun line at $0.8035 acting as immediate resistance. Momentum indicators show negative signals, as both MACD and ADX remain in Sell mode. RSI is at 34 and the CCI is in oversold territory, suggesting prevailing bearish momentum. Stoch RSI is neutral, BBP confirms ongoing seller dominance intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator aligns with the current downtrend; volatility is elevated and the price is positioned mid-range.

Sideways bias dominates as downside risk overshadows breakout odds

Over the next 2 to 3 trading days, the expected price range for APT is $0.7224 to $0.8556, reflecting a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upside breakout is considered very low, while the probability of further downside is very high. The baseline scenario envisions the price fluctuating in a sideways range. A bullish scenario would require a clear move above immediate resistance, whereas a bearish scenario would be triggered by a sustained drop below near-term support.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees current Aptos price action as dominated by bearish technical momentum and persistent selling pressure. While technological milestones like the 130,000 TPS test and exchange integrations add credibility, they have not translated into positive price performance. The analyst remains cautious, noting that downside risks outweigh the chance of an immediate rebound at present levels. "With negative momentum signals and price below key resistance, I maintain a defensive stance until a clear reversal is confirmed."

Earlier, analysts noted that Aptos was entrenched in a bearish trend characterized by persistent selling pressure and weak technical signals. The current analysis not only reaffirms this negative outlook but underscores that sustained momentum below immediate resistance levels keeps Aptos exposed to further volatility, making downside risk the central scenario for traders to monitor in the coming sessions.
