Aptos (APT) has been in a long-term downtrend throughout 2025. The token was down 8.55% for the day, after hitting a new all-time low at $1.14.
A further decline seems very likely, even if a slight recovery is possible before Monday.
In December 2025, AMBCrypto noted that Sui (SUI) had outperformed Aptos in terms of DeFi liquidity, despite both being powered by the Move programming language. More recently, Sui has been observed to have maintained this lead.
Sui’s monthly active developer count was twice that of Aptos, and a similar disparity was seen in their total value locked (TVL). On the price front, APT’s fall to new lows has been discouraging for holders.

On a 3-day time frame, Aptos has a bearish swing structure since June 2025, when the $4.32 level was breached.
Over the past few months, the 23.6% southward extension level at $1.72 was also tested and then moved from support to resistance.
The 20-period moving average served as dynamic resistance and captured the strength of the bearish momentum. The CMF has remained well below -0.05 for over two months, signaling significant capital outflows.
Further losses seemed very likely.

The liquidation map showed that the cumulative leverage of the short-term liquidation exceeded the nearby long leverage.
Therefore, it is very likely that APT will rebound towards $1.50-1.55. It is unclear whether this rebound will occur immediately.

Using the last downward H4 impulse to plot a set of Fibonacci levels, the $1.44 and $1.52 retracement levels immediately stand out.
Additionally, they align well with the highly leveraged short-term liquidations featured earlier on the liquidation map.
Therefore, APT traders can wait for a price rebound in this area before selling.
Final Thoughts
- Aptos’ price trend has been bearish for many months, leading the token to set new all-time lows.
- The 4-hour price chart showed that there was potential for APT to rebound to $1.52 before a downward move begins.
