APT Slips 4% After Breaking $4.77 Technical Support Level
Aptos APT slumped as much as 4% on Thursday as trade tensions and wider market uncertainty weighed on sentiment. The APT token has experienced significant price volatility amid broader market uncertainty, with selling pressure pushing the asset through multiple support levels as investors react to macroeconomic developments. The token has now consolidated above the 4.77 level and has recouped almost half its daily losses. Technical Analysis: APT-USD traded within a 3.6% range (4.945 high to 4.751 low) over 24 hours, establishing a key resistance zone around 4.83-4.86. Heavy selling volume (1.25M) created a high-volume support level at 4.77, which has been tested repeatedly throughout the period. Recent price action suggests consolidation following downtrend, with bulls attempting to establish control above 4.78. In the last hour, APT fell 2.1% from 4.864 to 4.762, forming a descending channel with multiple rejections at resistance. Notable volume surge occurred between 13:45-13:54 (over 30,000 units traded per minute) as price found temporary support at 4.764. Price action showed modest recovery with price stabilizing around 4.771, suggesting potential consolidation after sharp decline. The CD20 index CD20 was down over 2% at publication time.

Rosé Matches BTS's All-Time Billboard Record
Rosé's hit 'Apt.' with Bruno Mars ties BTS's 'Dynamite' for the second-longest Hot 100 run by a ... More K-pop artist, reaching 32 weeks. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 02: Rosé attends as Tiffany & Co. celebrates the debut of the Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams Collection at Tiffany & Co. Landmark on May 02, 2024 in New York City. (Photo byfor Tiffany & Co.) After Morgan Wallen inundated the Hot 100 last week with dozens of tracks from his new No. 1 album I'm the Problem, the tally becomes slightly less competitive this frame. Several of the country superstar's tunes decline, making more room toward the top for a handful of smashes that had been performing incredibly well, but which fell when the singer-songwriter invaded the list – but they are now regaining ground. Rosé's hit 'Apt.,' her hugely popular collaboration with Bruno Mars, is one such tune. It rises this frame as it makes space once more near the upper reaches of the ranking. As it does, the Blackpink singer ties the most successful group in K-pop history for a coveted spot in Billboard chart history. 'Apt.' has spent 32 weeks on the Hot 100. The smash is now matched with 'Dynamite' by BTS, which fell off the tally after 32 frames. It reaches that important milestone as it advances from No. 28 to No. 22 during a quieter period on the tally. Rosé's tune is now tied as the second-longest-charting track in U.S. history by a K-pop musician. Although originally from New Zealand, Rosé is closely associated with the K-pop style thanks to her career beginnings in Blackpink. Much of her output is at least partially related to that genre — including 'Apt.,' which features both English and Korean lyrics. Just last week, 'Apt.' was on the same level as 'Gangnam Style,' the first K-pop hit many Americans were familiar with. That track, which peaked at No. 2 more than a decade ago, racked up 31 stays on the Hot 100 and, for many years, reigned as the highest-charting and longest-lasting success by any K-pop artist in America. 'Apt.' now needs just one more frame to tie the all-time best showing by a K-pop star. That honor belongs to Jimin, one of the seven singers that make up BTS. He kept his tune 'Who' on the tally for 33 weeks, starting in mid-2024. While Jimin's track only climbed to No. 12, it remained on the list for months. Since 'Apt.' is still present just outside the top 20, it seems likely Rosé will match Jimin's showing — and may even beat it in time.

Aptos Rebounds Sharply After 10% Drop as Buyers Defend Key Support
The cryptocurrency market faces renewed pressure as global economic tensions intensify, with APT experiencing significant volatility amid broader market uncertainty. After dropping over 10% from $5.058 to $4.548, APT has begun stabilizing at critical support levels, showing resilience despite macroeconomic headwinds. Trading volumes peaked during the sell-off period but have since shifted toward accumulation patterns, suggesting institutional interest remains despite the turbulent global economic landscape. Technical Analysis Highlights APT experienced a substantial 10.08% correction, dropping from 5.058 to a low of 4.548 before staging a recovery. Sell-off intensified during the 22:00-00:00 period with above-average volume (2.7M-2.9M). Strong support established at the 4.55-4.60 zone where buyers emerged. Recovery phase showed consistent accumulation with price stabilizing between 4.60-4.70. Bullish move toward 4.75 during final hours on increased volume suggests renewed buying interest. Hourly price action formed a rounded bottom pattern before rallying in the final minutes. Substantial volume spikes at 14:01-14:02 (55K-32K) pushed prices back above 4.70. Hourly consolidation between 4.686-4.750 indicates stabilization attempts after the correction.
