ApeCoin price is one to watch

ApeCoin price is currently up 10% for the month of January as the bulls have produced four days of persistent uptrend price action. If market conditions persist, the bulls may be able to replace more of the lost funds witnessed in 2022 back into the hands of investors. 

APE price currently auctions at $4.06. The bull have successfully hurdled both the 8-day exponential and 21-day simple moving averages, following a classical bullish cross signal of the aforementioned indicators. As the uptrend has progressed, the range of the candlestick has progressively decreased, suggesting a substantial amount of bears are taking a profit. 

Traders may want to wait for a retest of the 8-day ema followed by a pierce of the recent swing high at $4.20 before entering the market. Key levels to aim for would be the December 12 swing high at $4.58, resulting in a 13% uptrend rally. It is worth noting that  A breach of the first target could create  longer term swing trade idea targeting the mid-point of 2022’s downtrend near $8.50 in the months to come.
