The model showed that volume rose 35% above the 30-day average, signaling institutional participation rather than retail noise.
The elevated activity validated genuine repositioning despite APT's relative weakness against larger digital assets. Selling pressure dominated morning hours as growth-oriented blockchain narratives faced broader market skepticism, according to the model.
The token's resilience at key support levels suggested accumulation emerged during weakness, the model said.
The broader market gauge, the CoinDesk 20 index also declined, and was 2.8% lower at publication time.
Technical Analysis:
- Primary support established at $1.57-$1.575 after successful defense during selloff
- Key resistance remains at $1.64 level where morning rejection occurred
- Exceptional volume spike of 7.3 million at 06:00 breakdown confirmed distribution
- Final hour breakout volume of 93,449 validated bullish reversal pattern
- Overall 35% volume increase above 30-day average signaled institutional interest
- Bearish trend with lower highs dominated morning session trading
- Immediate upside target at $1.64 resistance with $1.575 stop-loss level

Is Doge Still The Best Crypto Investment, Or Will Pepeto Make You Rich In 2025
The post Is Doge Still The Best Crypto Investment, Or Will Pepeto Make You Rich In 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 13:39 Is Dogecoin actually running out of gas, after making people millionaires overnight? As investors hunt for the best crypto to buy now and the best crypto to invest in 2025, Dogecoin still owns the meme spotlight, yet its upside looks capped according to today’s Dogecoin price prediction. Focus is shifting toward projects that marry community with real on chain utility. People searching best crypto to buy now want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the honest matchup for this cycle, Dogecoin versus Pepeto. Meet Pepeto, an Ethereum based meme coin built with live rails, PepetoSwap for zero fee trading and Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross chain moves.

In a market where older meme coins risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s delivery gives it a credible seat in the best crypto investment debate. First, here is why Dogecoin may be fading. Dogecoin Price Prediction Is Dogecoin Losing Momentum Remember when Dogecoin made crypto feel effortless. In 2013, Doge turned an internet joke into money and a movement that welcomed everyone. A decade later the market is tougher and the relentless tailwind is gone, sentiment is choppier and patience matters. With Doge near $0.268, the setup reads bearish to neutral for the next few weeks. If the $0.26 shelf holds on daily closes, expect choppy range trading toward $0.29 to $0.30 where rallies keep stalling. Lose $0.26 and momentum often slides into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22 to $0.21. Close back above $0.30 and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low $0.30s. Beyond the price view, Dogecoin still centers…
