<p>TradingView’s Binance APT/USDT daily chart showed Aptos trading at $0.7951 on Oct. 14, down from a daily opening price of $0.8368. The token reached an intraday high of $0.8496 before falling to $0.7867.</p>
<p>The weekly chart also showed a retreat, with APT down 11.77% from its weekly opening price of $0.9012. Its weekly range extended from $0.7613 to $0.9155, placing the token closer to the lower end of that range.</p>
<p>The daily chart showed APT recovering from the roughly $0.50–$0.60 region during September before moving above $0.80. October’s pullback has taken the token back below that level, while recent highs remain around $0.90–$0.92.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aptos-unlock-reduction-leaves-continuing-monthly-releases">Aptos unlock reduction leaves continuing monthly releases</h2>
<p>Aptos Foundation’s February tokenomics update <a href="https://aptosnetwork.com/currents/aptos-tokenomics-update" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> the four-year unlock cycle for initial investors and core contributors would conclude in October 2026, reducing annualized scheduled unlocks by approximately 60%.</p>
<p>Staking provider Everstake’s schedule review <a href="https://everstake.com/resources/blog/aptos-token-unlock-schedule" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">placed</a> the final release for those two groups on Sept. 12, with the vesting period formally ending on Oct. 12. Their combined monthly allocation previously accounted for about 6.77 million APT.</p>
<p>With those allocations completed, scheduled monthly releases decline from approximately 11.31 million to 4.54 million APT. The remaining releases come from the community and Foundation pools.</p>
<p>The reduction concerns the release of previously allocated tokens. Staking rewards remain a separate source of new APT, while tokens already unlocked remain available to their holders.</p>
<p>APT’s price retreat coincided with the formal end of the vesting period, but neither the unlock schedule nor the price charts establish that recipients sold tokens during the decline.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="daily-macd-turns-bearish-as-money-flow-weakens">Daily MACD turns bearish as money flow weakens</h2>
<p>TradingView’s daily chart showed the moving average convergence divergence line at 0.0303, below its signal line at 0.0369. The resulting histogram reading was negative at −0.0066.</p>

<p>Both lines remained above zero, preserving part of the momentum built during the September recovery. However, the MACD line’s move below the signal line formed a bearish crossover, while recent histogram bars turned red.</p>
<p>The daily Chaikin Money Flow reading also fell to −0.03. The volume-weighted indicator moved below its zero line after spending much of the recent recovery in positive territory.</p>
<p>Together, the two indicators showed weaker momentum and money flow as APT lost $0.80. The daily chart still placed the token above its August and early-September lows, but below October’s recent peaks.</p>
<p>On the price chart, the $0.84–$0.85 region contains the latest daily high and several recent trading swings. Above that area, October’s highs around $0.90–$0.92 form the next visible resistance zone.</p>
<p>Below the current price, the daily low near $0.787 and weekly low near $0.761 define the closest observed support references. Earlier trading activity sits farther down around $0.70 and $0.60.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="weekly-supertrend-remains-above-aptos-price">Weekly Supertrend remains above Aptos price</h2>
<p>TradingView’s weekly Supertrend stood at $0.9652 and remained red, leaving APT below the indicator’s trend boundary despite its rebound from September’s lows.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img width="1827" height="954" src="https://media.crypto.news/2026/10/APTUSDT_2026-10-14_21-58-02.webp" alt="Aptos weekly price chart showing APT below the $0.9652 Supertrend resistance, with ADX at 26.10.">

<p>The weekly chart showed a broader sequence of falling highs extending through 2025 and 2026. The recent recovery remained near the bottom of that longer price history, well below previous trading ranges above $1.</p>
<p>The weekly average directional index measured 26.10 and was declining from earlier readings above 40. ADX measures trend strength rather than direction; the falling reading showed that the established trend had weakened, while Supertrend continued to display a bearish signal.</p>
<p>A recovery toward $0.90 would therefore leave APT below the weekly Supertrend. The indicator’s $0.9652 reading sits close to the $1 level discussed in bullish market commentary.</p>
<p>An analyst publishing as Phoenix described an upward structure from August’s lows in an Oct. 14 post and projected consolidation above the 200-period moving average. The analyst also claimed large holders were accumulating and identified $1 as an upside objective.</p>
<p>That outlook contrasts with the latest daily price decline and negative money-flow reading. Phoenix’s accumulation claim remains the analyst’s interpretation, rather than a holder-flow figure shown by the daily or weekly charts.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="liquidation-clusters-build-above-the-current-price">Liquidation clusters build above the current price</h2>
<p>CoinGlass’s three-day liquidation heatmap showed APT falling from above $0.92 toward $0.79 between late Oct. 11 and Oct. 14, interrupted by rebounds around $0.86 and $0.85.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img width="4080" height="2409" src="https://media.crypto.news/2026/10/APT-Liquidation-Heatmap3-day-2026-10-14_21_56_25.webp" alt="Aptos three-day liquidation heatmap showing price near $0.79 and concentrated liquidation levels around $0.86–$0.94.">

<p>At the right edge of the heatmap, nearby estimated liquidation bands appeared around $0.80–$0.81. Larger overhead concentrations were visible near $0.86–$0.89, followed by brighter bands around $0.91–$0.94.</p>
<p>Below the price, estimated liquidation concentrations appeared near $0.785, with additional bands around $0.77–$0.78. Those levels overlap the lower portion of the token’s weekly trading range.</p>
<p>Alongside the supply change, Aptos <a href="https://aptosnetwork.com/currents/encrypted-mempool-mainnet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> an optional transaction-encryption feature on mainnet on Oct. 12. The Foundation said Petra supports the feature and Decibel plans to use it to protect pending orders.</p>
<p>The network’s broader institutional connection includes U.S. asset managers BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and Apollo, which Aptos identified in its ecosystem update. Its May announcement also outlined more than $50 million in commitments across products, research, infrastructure, trading and AI partners.</p>
<p>For the immediate price setup, TradingView’s charts place APT between support near $0.76–$0.78 and resistance around $0.84–$0.85, with the weekly Supertrend farther overhead at $0.9652.</p>
