ApeCoin [APE] is facing countering forces ahead. Notably, the NFT token plummeted by 20%, dropping from $6.417 but steadied around the $5.000 level.
Part of the drop was due to a planned token unlocks worth $40M scheduled for mid-March. BTC’s drop in early February also exerted more sell pressure on APE.

Long-term bulls could look to book gains at the overhead resistance levels of $6.110, $6.417, or $6.938. Such an upswing may depend on BTC’s upward rally above $25K. But bulls will need to wait for the confirmation of the uptrend if the APE retests the downtrend line and moves upwards.
On the other hand, bears could benefit from short-selling opportunities at $5.374, $5.164, or $5.000. Sellers could wait for a close below the downtrend line and confirmation of the downtrend before making moves.
However, intense selling pressure, especially from token unlocks in March, could see APE drop towards $4.491. Therefore, investors should track BTC’s price action and planned token unlocks.
