YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) – Apecoin (APE), the crypto-descendent of the popular NFT collection bored apes yacht club (BAYC), soared over 80% in 48 hours and traded at $9.2 in the Asian Pacific session Friday. Previously, the token had bottomed out at nearly $5 on May 12.

APE/USD: bullish continuation or correct ahead?

APE’s price rally shows weakness as the trading volumes have declined in parallel. The deviation between the decreasing trading volumes and the bullish price creates a Bearish Divergence, which hints at a looming correction.

Thus, APE holders might not have much time to celebrate. Moreover, the altcoin remains dependent on broader market conditions and Bitcoin (BTC) price.

However, Apecoin exhibited several bullish signs that could further fuel the rally.

For example, the token’s trend-based oscillators kept the bullish streak. The MACD histogram printed growing green candles, while the relative strength index (RSI) crept above the median 50 mark into the ‘high expectations’ territory.’ Additionally, the APE/USD exchange rate charted above its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA-20).

Considering the bullish factors’ trend-based nature, they cannot constitute a final forecast. The indicators stem from the bullish price action and cannot cause a continuation, either way, bringing the declining trading volumes back into prominence.
