The broader cryptocurrency market has kicked off the final week of 2025 with modest strength, as Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed the $90,000 mark while Ethereum (ETH) trades over 3% higher. This improving backdrop has helped stabilize market sentiment, allowing notable altcoins — including Aptos (APT)— to begin forming constructive technical structures.
APT is trading with a modest intraday gain, but more importantly, its daily chart is now signaling a meaningful structural shift — one that could mark the early stages of a bullish continuation if confirmed.

Rounding Bottom in Play
On the daily timeframe, Aptos appears to be shaping a textbook rounding bottom formation — a classic bullish reversal pattern that typically emerges after an extended period of downside pressure. This structure reflects a gradual transition from distribution to accumulation, where sellers lose control and buyers quietly begin to step in.
APT previously faced strong rejection near the $3.08 neckline zone before entering a sharp decline that eventually bottomed out near $1.42. This area acted as a critical demand zone, where price repeatedly found support, preventing any deeper breakdown and laying the groundwork for a potential trend reversal.

Since establishing that base, APT has begun curving higher in a rounded fashion, signaling that selling pressure is fading. The steady recovery back toward the $1.79 region suggests that accumulation is underway and that the market is slowly preparing for a larger move.
What’s Next for APT?
For the rounding bottom pattern to fully activate, APT must reclaim the 50-day moving average, currently positioned near $2.10. A decisive move above this level would mark a key momentum shift, confirming that buyers are regaining control after months of corrective price action.
Beyond that, the major technical hurdle remains the neckline resistance around $3.08. A clean breakout above this zone would validate the entire reversal structure and could open the door for a broader bullish expansion phase, with momentum traders likely re-entering the market.
Until those levels are reclaimed, the pattern remains in development. Short-term pullbacks or consolidation are still possible if APT struggles at the 50-day MA, but as long as price continues to hold higher lows above the $1.42 base, the broader bottoming structure remains intact.
Overall, Aptos is approaching a technically important inflection point. The rounding bottom formation, improving structure, and proximity to key resistance levels suggest the coming sessions could prove decisive for the token’s next directional move.

ETH drops 0.58% in 15 minutes: derivatives liquidity contraction and proactive position reduction dominate short-term pullback
From 2026-04-19 04:30 to 2026-04-19 04:45 (UTC), within ETH’s 15-minute candlestick chart, the return recorded -0.58%, and the price range was 2321.62 to 2342.04 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.87%. The short-term selloff occurred against a backdrop of increased overall market volatility and a broad decline in the prices of major crypto assets; overall market risk appetite clearly fell, and traders’ wait-and-see sentiment strengthened.
The main driver behind this abnormal move is a sharp contraction in liquidity in the derivatives market and leveraged funds proactively reducing positions. Data shows that over the past 24 hours, the ETH/USD perpetual contract trading volume dropped 67.16% to approximately 74.87 million, open interest edged down 3.33% to 329 million, and liquidation amounts did not expand unusually. This structure indicates that the market lacks the risk of passive cascades; more funds chose to proactively step aside and wait on the sidelines, intensifying short-term selling pressure.
In addition, the long/short structure in which shorts held the upper hand (long/short ratio 47.48%:52.52%) and sentiment synchronization with the panic range reinforced the downward price trend. During the same period, major coins such as BTC and SOL also fell 2%-3.4% in tandem, further showing that this pullback was driven by system-wide risk sentiment. On-chain funds did not show any large abnormal transfers or large-scale liquidations of DeFi protocols; spot and on-chain liquidity remained generally stable, and no sudden system risk resonance was observed.
Current volatility-related risks still need close monitoring, especially as overall risk appetite continues to contract—ETH’s short-term price may face further downside probing. Watch subsequent changes in derivatives trading volume and open interest, extreme shifts in the long/short ratio and funding rate, and promptly monitor on-chain fund flows, large transfers, and any signs of amplified platform net outflows.
