ApeCoin price aims for $6 as retail traders bet short

  • ApeCoin price rallied 25% in October.
  • A bullish cross of the 8-day exponential and 21-day simple moving averages is underway.

  • Invalidation of the uptrend potential is a breach below $3.97 thesis can occur if the bulls reconquer $4.65.

ApeCoin price has rallied impressively during the final days of October. Still, an additional 25% rally is possible. Key levels have been defined.

ApeCoin price has potential

ApeCoin price is currently up 25% for the month of October. The Ethereum-based NFT token witnessed a sharp increase in price on October 25 and has been stair-stepping higher ever since.  

APE price currently auctions at $4.99. The bull has successfully hurdled both the 8-day exponential and 21-day simple moving averages, and now a bullish cross is set to occur while APE auctions are above them. The bullish cross could prompt a rally of equal value to the prior near $6.00 for a 25% gain.

Despite the powerful uptrend signals, retail traders seem to be in disbelief of ApeCoin’s potential. According to CoinGlass’s Long-vs-Short indicator, throughout the 25% hike, most traders have been positioned short. The indicator could be viewed as a contrarian bullish signal. A much larger rally would need to occur to liquidate bears in the market. 

Invalidation of the bullish thesis can occur if the bears retag the $4.56 swing low produced on October 27. A latter breach could trigger a selling frenzy targeting liquidity levels near $3.00. Such a move would result in a 40% decrease from the current ApeCoin price.
