Aptos' APT fell 4% over the 24-hour trading period, fluctuating within a 10% range, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model.

The token made a session high of $4.80 and a low of $4.38, initially advancing to $4.80 before declining sharply to $4.43 by morning hours, then consolidating around $4.45 with modest recovery indicators in the final trading hour, the model showed.

Significant volume-backed support materialized around the $4.38-$4.41 price zone, where institutional buying emerged, with the final hour demonstrating recovery momentum toward $4.45, suggesting potential market stabilization following the 9% decline from peak to trough, according to the model.
