Sui also has over $792 million in stablecoins, higher than Sui’s (SUI) $465 million. Stablecoins like Tether and USD Coin are widely used in the DeFi, NFT, and gaming industries.

The APT token peaked at $15.40 on Dec. 7, and has now crashed to about $8. It has crashed below the 50-day moving average and the key support at $10.53, its lowest swing on Dec. 9. 

On the positive side, Aptos has formed a falling wedge chart pattern comprising of two falling and converging trendlines. These two lines are nearing their confluence points, which often leads to a strong breakout.

The MACD and the Relative Strength Index indicators have formed a bullish divergence pattern. This divergence happens when the two indicators rise when the price is on a downward trend. 

Therefore, the coin will likely have a strong bullish breakout, with the initial resistance point to watch being at $10.53. A break above that level will signal more gains, with the next point being at $15.40, up by 85% from the current level.
