ApeCoin [APE] could close Q2 2023 in the red if the negative price charts indicators and on-chain metrics persist. The token has depreciated since late January, dropping from its peak of $6.42 and cracking key support levels.
Bitcoin [BTC] has maintained the $26k price zone since 16 June. BTC’s cues could hold APE’s further drop for a while; a slip below $26k could expose APE to more selling pressure.
Based on the price range tool, APE has declined by over 55%, measured from its swing highs in mid-April of around $4.5 and $2.02 at the time of writing. Besides, the trendline resistance (cyan) has been a critical roadblock against any likely upside move.
In addition, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) has been making lower highs since late January, denoting a considerable drop in buying pressure. The demand for APE dipped, too, as shown by the declining OBV (On Balance Volume).
The above negative indicators reinforced sellers’ control and a likelihood of driving APE below $2.0. A drop to $1.0, the initial opening price for APE on Binance exchange, could be on the cards.
