MKR and APT: Altcoin Analysis for September 27, 2023

Although the overall trend on the MKR chart is descending, locally, the asset is experiencing a robust upward trajectory. In the past few months, Maker has increased by 42%, reaching a new annual high at the $1,442 mark.

There isn’t a substantial presence of sellers for Maker at the moment, hence the continuation of the asset’s appreciation is the likely scenario. The upcoming resistance level is at $1,520, succeeded by the seller’s domain ranging between $1,637 and $1,766. 

A technical correction is also viable, particularly in case of a BTC drop, with which Maker has a high correlation. The current support zone lies in the range of $1,212–$1,272. Following this, buyer bids are concentrated within the $1,129 support level and the $980–$1,038 range.

At present, both the global and local trends for Aptos are showing a downward trajectory. The asset is now trading within a lateral range, marked by support zones of $4.88–$5.13 and resistance zones of $5.68–$6.00. A continuation of the downward trend is currently the prevailing scenario. Hence, if the current support zone is breached, the next support will likely be at the $4.59 mark.

If buyers can demonstrate resilience and assert control, the price of APT could potentially test the subsequent resistance levels, specifically the $6.3 mark and the seller-dominated zone of $6.7–$7.05. However, to completely offset the downward trend, Aptos would need to secure a position well above the $10 level, a prospect that currently seems highly unlikely.

Another crucial factor is the forthcoming unlock of APT tokens for early investors, set to occur in October. The average purchase price for funds is capped between $2 and $3. A substantial sell-off could have a detrimental impact on the APT price, rendering the asset particularly risky for investment in the present circumstances.
