On April 20th, the Apecoin witnessed a massive pump amid the announcement of an upcoming metaverse called Otherside. The coin registered a 24.6% intraday gain and tagged the $17 mark. 

However, the APE chart displays multiple higher price rejection candles at that resistance, suggesting the buyers were exhausted from the sudden rise. The sellers eventually pull the price lower, offering a minor correction phase. 

The pullback discounted the Ape price by 18% and plunged to the $13.8 support. However, with the rising popularity of Apecoin among whales, the coin price rebounded from this support and reached the $17 mark again. 

With an 80% pump in trading volume, the APE buyers attempted a bullish breakout from 17%. If they succeed, the coin price will surge to the $18 mark, followed by a $20 psychological level.
