Although a bounce in APT prices was possible, a reversal of the downtrend might not be in sight given the sentiment across the crypto market. Beneath $8.3, $7.75 and $6.9 were levels of support to watch out for.
Aptos bulls manage to defend $8.33 but an uptrend was not yet in sight

On the 4-hour chart, the market structure of APT remained bearish. The lower high at $8.82 registered on 8 May was still not broken (trading session close above), although it came extremely close on 17 May.
On lower timeframes, the formation of higher lows since 14 May was a slightly encouraging factor.
The higher timeframes also heavily leaned in favor of the bulls. The daily timeframe showed the market structure was strongly bearish. The temporary stall in momentum at the $8.2-$8.33 area might not mean the downtrend was about to reverse.

The RSI on H4 was at 44 and fell below neutral 50 on 18 May. This showed bearish momentum was beginning to take hold, but was not significant yet. The CMF was below -0.05 in recent days, which highlighted large amounts of capital flowing out of the market.
The rising CVD suggested buyers were preparing to drive a rally

The spot Cumulative Volume Delta has been in an uptrend since 14 May. Meanwhile, the price action had dipped toward the $8.3 support zone once more.
This underlined the possibility of an APT rally in the coming days. However, with BTC unable to breach the $27.8k mark, the APT rally might not be much more than a bounce in prices.
The Open Interest remained flat as the price hovered in the $8.35 region over the past couple of days. This indicated a lack of strong sentiment from the speculators.
