- Aptos price action shows promising signs of higher prices.
- TVL, number of transactions and blockchain speed are evidence of growth.
Aptos (APT) has been in a downtrend since April, with price action following a descending trendline since May. The APT/USDT pair on the daily chart has touched this trendline four times, each time facing rejection.
However, on the fourth contact, the price did not fall to a lower low, indicating a potential weakening of the downtrend.
Additionally, a head and shoulders pattern has formed, a common signal for price reversals if the neckline is broken and held above.
For APT to confirm the $4.30 level as the current cycle floor, price must break and hold above the $7.50 level.

Hitting that target could pave the way for a potential rise to or beyond $10 by the end of this year or early 2025, as other indicators have shown.
Adoption of Aptos and TVL
Aptos’ key metrics point to growing adoption. Aptos’ total value locked (TVL) currently stands at $439 million, ranking it 18th overall and 6th among non-EVM chains.
Although Aptos only launched its mainnet in 2022, it has quickly climbed the TVL rankings, demonstrating a strong entry into the market.
TVL remained stable despite price fluctuations, suggesting robust asset circulation and growing confidence in the platform.
