Aptos (APT) faced renewed downward pressure on Thursday, breaking below the key $4.77 support level as risk sentiment deteriorated across global markets. The token briefly dropped to $4.75 before paring losses and hovering near its former support, which now acts as resistance.

The sell-off occurred alongside broader declines in the crypto market, driven by geopolitical tensions and shifting macroeconomic expectations. APT traded within a 3.6% intraday range, with sharp moves concentrated during U.S. market hours.

Market Snapshot:

• Low: $4.751
• High: $4.945
• Resistance: $4.83–$4.86
• Support Flipped: $4.77 now acting as resistance after breakdown
• Trading Volume: Peaked at 30K units per minute during selloff
• Trend Structure: Short-term descending channel forming post-breakdown

The breach of $4.77 triggered cascading sell orders, pushing APT 2.1% lower in under an hour. Despite the drop, the token stabilized near $4.771 by session end, suggesting a potential pause in bearish momentum.

Analysts note that if APT fails to reclaim the $4.77–$4.80 range, further downside toward $4.62 remains in play. However, consolidation at current levels could set the stage for a short-term bounce — particularly if broader markets show signs of recovery.
