APE price reacts positively to the news
APE price yielded nearly 17% weekly losses for holders. APE price climbed nearly 5% since the official announcement in a tweet on X. The NFT token could recover from the decline and climb towards the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $2.364 and $2.392.
In its rally towards the FVG, APE price could face resistance at $2.191, which is the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the decline from the year-to-date peak of $2.683 on March 13 to the March 20 low of $1.7.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator shows green bars above the zero line, signaling that APE has positive momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 47.85, inching towards the neutral level at 50.
APE/USDT 4-hour chart
In the downside scenario, a candlestick close below $1.70 could invalidate the bullish thesis. In this case, APE price could find first support at the February 28 low of $1.655.
