Ethereum News Today: Aptos (APT) Infrastructure Upgrades and Whale Activity Signal Rally Potential as Ethereum Surges 46% Monthly

Aptos (APT) is drawing renewed attention from analysts as The Wyckoff Architect highlights its potential for a significant price shift in the coming quarter. The analyst emphasizes that while APT may not currently lead the altcoin market, its fundamentals—such as infrastructure upgrades and developer activity—position it as a quiet contender in the Layer 1 blockchain space. Key factors include faster development tools, improved integrations, and scalable solutions, which are strengthening the project’s foundation for a potential rally [1].

The APT price chart has also sparked optimism. Currently near a historical low, the token is consolidating at a critical support level it has rarely tested since its launch. The Wyckoff Architect notes that this consolidation resembles accumulation patterns often seen before major crypto rallies. If the support holds and momentum builds, a breakout could trigger a sharp upward move, suggesting APT is not merely fluctuating but preparing for a structural shift [1].

On-chain data further supports the bullish case. Over the past week, $97 million worth of APT has been purchased, with increased whale activity in the MoveVM ecosystem and structured orders on Binance indicating growing institutional or large-hodler interest [2]. Additionally, APT recently tested a key resistance level at $5.61, hinting at potential upside if the price breaches this threshold [3].

Broader market trends also favor Aptos. As newer Layer 1 networks like Solana and Sui gain traction, APT stands out for its speed, clean architecture, and backing from major supporters. The Wyckoff Architect argues that APT’s steady infrastructure development, without relying on hype-driven cycles, could make it a surprise performer in Q4 if the overall market turns bullish [1].

While the broader altcoin market remains volatile—XRP and SOL experiencing significant declines—APT’s undervaluation relative to its fundamentals and market sentiment creates a unique opportunity. The analysis avoids speculative price targets, instead focusing on technical and infrastructural strengths as the basis for its forecast. This contrasts with recent memecoin surges, such as the Hulk Hogan-linked HULK token, which saw short-lived gains [5].

The broader crypto market remains in a correctionary phase, with Bitcoin down 3% and Ethereum up 46% monthly. However, infrastructure-focused projects like Aptos could outperform during market consolidation, aligning with historical trends where such blockchains gain traction [2].
