ApeCoin price collapses to new two month lows, APE bulls are terrified

  • ApeCoin price is in price discovery mode to the downside. 
  • APE has zero support present as new two-month lows are triggered.
  • Any bullish price action is likely to be temporary and indicative of a mean reversion, not a broad trend change. 

ApeCoin price action has one of the worst-looking daily Ichimoku charts in the entire altcoin space. The collapse is impressive not only from a price perspective but from the almost ridiculously oversold levels in APE’s oscillators. 

ApeCoin price is beyond oversold, but nothing is stopping APE from moving lower

ApeCoin price action is displaying a textbook example of a flash crash. In just twelve days, ApeCoin has moved from its all-time high of $27.33 to a new two-month low of $8.76. 

The 4-hour Ichimoku chart for ApeCoin price shows major extreme lows have been hit in its oscillators. The Relative Strenght Index has moved below the final oversold level in a bear market (20) and hit the 16 range. The Composite Index has also hit new all-time lows. 

Because ApeCoin price is in price discovery mode, a floor could be established at any level between the current all-time low and zero. However, the drive down may find some relief soon. 

On both the 4-hour Ichimoku chart and the daily Ichimoku chart (not shown), ApeCoin price is trading right where a Kumo Twist occurs. Kumo Twists are periods when Senkou Span A crosses Senkou Span B - the Cloud changes from green to red or from red to green. 

In the Ichimoku system, Kumo Twists can often identify where a new swing low or high may form - especially if an instrument has been trending strongly into the Kumo Twist.

While the most likely move for ApeCoin price is lower, the combination of the Kumo Twist and the extremes in the oscillators do hint at a bounce occurring soon. If APE does bounce, it will likely be limited to the Kijun-Sen at $12.25.
