ApeCoin (APE) finds itself grappling with a tumultuous period as on-chain metrics present a mixed picture while price charts continue to reflect the dominance of bearish sentiment.<\/span><\/p>\n In recent weeks, ApeCoin has encountered a series of conflicting signals from its on-chain metrics.\u00a0<\/span>While such metrics are typically regarded as essential indicators of a cryptocurrency’s health, they have failed to provide a clear consensus on APE’s trajectory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Despite this ambiguity, one undeniable fact remains \u2013 bears are firmly in control of ApeCoin’s price movements.<\/span><\/p>\n Mid-August witnessed ApeCoin’s value tumble from a relatively promising $2.216 to a worrisome $1.66. Market observers and analysts swiftly responded by plotting a comprehensive set of Fibonacci retracement and extension levels based on this steep decline. <\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, the downward pressure experienced by APE over the subsequent two weeks has prevented any semblance of recovery, pushing its value even lower than the initial drop to $1.66.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As of the latest data, ApeCoin’s price currently hovers at $1.48 according to <\/span>CoinGecko<\/span><\/a>, reflecting a 0.7% decline over the past 24 hours. This downtrend is further underscored by a 0.8% slump observed over the course of the past seven days. Despite such precarious circumstances, analysts are identifying potential bright spots within the gloomy horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n ApeCoin (APE) has experienced two significant collapses<\/a>, paralleling the decline of other altcoins in the cryptocurrency market. After dropping below the support level of $1.72 last week, APE has not managed to rebound.<\/p>\n Despite efforts by APE proponents to push for an increase, they have been stymied by adverse market conditions. There’s a prevailing belief among experts that the ongoing bearish trend in the market could continue to negatively impact ApeCoin, potentially leading its price to plummet to $1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In tandem with the persistent decline in ApeCoin’s value, a <\/span>separate report<\/span> underscores the alarming exodus of investors, particularly those with significant holdings, colloquially known as whales. Faced with a lack of profit opportunities within the APE ecosystem, these whales have sought more promising investment avenues elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This mass departure has undoubtedly contributed to the accelerated downward spiral of ApeCoin. Consequently, as the coin grapples with mounting challenges, questions are raised about its near-term viability.<\/span><\/p>\nApeCoin Price Plunge Persists Despite Short-Lived Rebounds<\/strong><\/h2>\n
