On June 18th, the APE price rebounded from the bottom low support of $3.12. This new recovery rally managed to surpass the $4.18 resistance but couldn’t breach the next supply zone of $5.58-$5.53 for the next three weeks as the crypto market grappled with uncertainty. 

However, the tussle between the bulls and bears resolved with a significant rally, where the APE showcased 52% growth within a fortnight. This run-up breached the overhead resistance of $5.58, indicating the buyers were aiming for another leg up. Furthermore, the coin price marks a record high of $6.9 which may form the local top. 

Furthermore, the post-retest rally accompanied by long-wick rejection and decreasing volume activity indicates a losing bullish momentum.

If the selling pressure persists, a minor retracement is plausible, which may plunge the APE price by 12-15% to retest the $5.33 support.

However, the post-correction recovery should lead the altcoin 40% higher from the $5.33 support, hitting the overhead supply zone of $7.3.
