Aptos (APT) is trading near a key around $4.00 support level.Charts and on-chain data reflect a cautious market. Momentum remains weak,but a recent jump in stablecoin inflows and a cross-chain partnership may influence near-term price action.

Bearish Trend Continues With Weak Momentum

The APT 3-day chart as of September 3 shows the price locked in a steady downtrend, trading at $4.33 with modest session gains. After peaking near $20 in early 2024, Aptos has continued to slide, forming consistent lower highs and lower lows.

A crucial resistance sits at $8.00, which turned into resistance after a breakdown in mid-2024. With the $4.00 zone acting as a key pivot, traders warn of a drop to $3.00 if support fails. On the 4-hour chart dated September 5, price action near $4.27 shows consolidation, with no clear direction as volume remains low.

MACD lines are under zero, showing mild bearish pressure. The RSI is 47.85, suggesting a neutral stance. A move under $4.20 could send prices lower, but a break over $4.40 may lead to $4.60–$4.80.

Stablecoin Inflows Reflect Capital Movement

As shared by Esatoshiclub on September 3, Aptos ranked second among all chains for stablecoin supply changes. The network recorded nearly $51 million in net inflows, following only Ethereum.

Such inflows often point to new liquidity entering the network or early signs of buyer activity. Aptos moving ahead of chains like Arbitrum and Avalanche hints at growing investor focus. Still, traders are watching for additional metrics like TVL and wallet activity to validate trend shifts.

This stablecoin growth also lines up with a slight market cap recovery, rising from $2.88B to $2.95B between September 4 and 5 after a short pullback.

Aptos and Near Protocol Launch Cross-Chain Feature

Aptos has teamed up with Near Protocol to support one-click cross-chain swaps. This integration uses Near Intents, a chain-abstraction tool built on Near’s infrastructure.

The goal is to allow easy asset transfers across Aptos, Near, and other networks—without relying on traditional bridges and improve the user experience and increase DeFi activity on both blockchains. This integration shows institutional confidence in Aptos.
