Aptos (APT) rose 4.5% to $1.63 on Monday, outperforming broader crypto markets despite muted trading activity. According to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model, 24-hour volume fell 29% below its 30-day average, signaling subdued market conviction.

The broader crypto benchmark, the CoinDesk 20 index, was up 2.4% at the time of publication.
