This relative weakness against major cryptocurrencies signals selective investor caution toward APT, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model.
The model showed that the token declined from $1.73 to $1.69 over the 24 hour period, establishing a volatile range-bound pattern with a total range of $0.09.
The most significant volume event occurred earlier this morning with exceptional volume of 12.2 million tokens, 214% above the 24 hour moving average, confirming strong resistance near $1.75, according to the model.
Price action showed consolidation within a tight channel following the initial decline, according to the model, with momentum decelerating as volume normalizes after the high-volume rejection.
APT's decline comes on tepid trading activity, with 24 hour volume running 31% above its 7-day average but failing to reach significant threshold levels.
Technical Analysis:
- Primary support established at $1.68-$1.69 psychological level, with major resistance confirmed at $1.75 following high-volume rejection.
- Peak volume of 12.17 million (214% above SMA) confirms resistance failure, while recent recovery shows accelerating volume above $1.695 breakout level.
- Range-bound consolidation within $0.09 channel following initial decline, with 60-minute charts showing bullish recovery pattern.
- Immediate upside target at $1.70-$1.705 resistance cluster, with broader range highs near $1.75 representing next major test.
- Technical indicators showing overwhelming bearish signals across all timeframes.

Coinbase Slams ‘Patchwork’ State Crypto Laws, Calls for Federal Preemption
The post Coinbase Slams ‘Patchwork’ State Crypto Laws, Calls for Federal Preemption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Coinbase has filed a letter with the DOJ urging federal preemption of state crypto laws, citing Oregon’s securities suit, New York’s ETH stance, and staking bans. Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal called state actions “government run amok,” warning that patchwork enforcement “slows innovation and harms consumers.” A legal expert told Decrypt that states risk violating interstate commerce rules and due process, and DOJ support for preemption may mark a potential turning point. Coinbase has gone on the offensive against state regulators, petitioning the Department of Justice that a patchwork of lawsuits and licensing schemes is tearing America’s crypto market apart. “When Oregon can sue us for services that are legal under federal law, something’s broken,” Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal tweeted on Tuesday. “This isn’t federalism—this is government run amok.” When Oregon can sue us for services that are legal under federal law, something’s broken. This isn’t federalism–this is government run amok. We just sent a letter to @TheJusticeDept urging federal action on crypto market structure to remedy this. 1/3 — paulgrewal.eth (@iampaulgrewal) September 16, 2025 Coinbase’s filing says that states are “expansively interpreting their securities laws in ways that undermine federal law” and violate the dormant Commerce Clause by projecting regulatory preferences beyond state borders. “The current patchwork of state laws isn’t just inefficient – it slows innovation and harms consumers” and demands “federal action on crypto market structure,” Grewal said. States vs. Coinbase It pointed to Oregon’s securities lawsuit against the exchange, New York’s bid to classify Ethereum as a security, and cease-and-desist orders on staking as proof that rogue states are trying to resurrect the SEC’s discredited “regulation by enforcement” playbook.
