Two weeks ago, Aptos <a href="https://crypto.news/aptos-launches-99-crypto-smartphone-dubbed-jambophone/">launched a $99 smartphone</a>, called JamboPhone, which is already available in more than 40 countries. However, there’s no updated data on how many units of the smartphone have been sold so far.&nbsp; 
Moreover, APT’s total open interest (OI) surged from $128.83 million to $173.29 million over the past 24 hours, per Santiment.&nbsp; 
Data from Santiment shows that the <a href="https://crypto.news/aptos-to-launch-esports-blockchain-platform-in-india/">Aptos</a> total funding rate is currently hovering around 0.09%, suggesting a slight dominance on long-position trades. However, the exact amounts of long and short-position holders are still unclear until further price movements. 
According to the market intelligence platform, the APT Relative Strength Index (RSI) rose from 60 on Feb. 27 to 72.8 at the time of writing. This shows that Aptos might be overheated at the moment and high price volatility is usually expected in these situations. 
For APT to stay in the bullish zone, its RSI would need to cool down below the 60 mark.
