$APE at $0.155—do you dare to chase it?

It traded sideways around a penny for months, and everyone thought this thing was already dead. But today, a huge bullish candle sent it straight from $0.10 to $0.18—up 70%. Trading volume shot from tens of millions to 1.1 billion. So who is buying? Can this old NFT coin really turn around?

First, look at the surface: a violent surge, nonstop FOMO.

In the past 24 hours, APE rocketed from the “dead zone” of $0.10–$0.11 straight to $0.16–$0.18, with a high of $0.26. A massive bullish daily candle broke out on heavy volume. RSI surged to 86, MACD formed a golden cross—every indicator is taking off. To the moon! People who rushed in already got stuck at the $0.26 mountaintop.

First thing: Yuga Labs has a new leadership team.

Former CPO Michael Figge was promoted to CEO, while the co-founder became chairman. The new boss lit three fires, and the first was to hit the stage with podcasts and roadshows, while the new wallet went long on 9.19 million APE leverage—earning $710,000 in a single day. Some call it insider information; others call it genius.

Second thing: lawsuit settlement—baggage cleared.

Yuga Labs got back the smart contract, the domain, and the remaining NFTs, and the lawsuit with RR/BAYC is finally over. With historical issues cleaned up, the new CEO can finally roll up their sleeves and get to work.

Third thing: ApeChain is already up and running.

Daily transactions are 1.2 million, closing in on Polygon and Arbitrum-level activity. Otherside’s metaverse uses APE for payments; AI creation tools use APE for payments; even in-game asset minting uses APE for payments. This isn’t the “NFT coin” from 2022 anymore that only does airdrops—it’s now the fuel for an entire chain.

One side: new leadership, ApeChain running smoothly, lawsuit settled, community FOMO.

The other side: RSI severely overbought, some taking profits at high levels, tokenomics controversy, and a 1 billion circulating supply ready to dump on you at any moment.

Key level: $0.15—the pullback line for both bulls and bears.

If you’re a short-term trader: wait for a pullback near $0.15 before entering. Target $0.20–$0.22, with a stop-loss at $0.135.

If you’re a long-term player: see how long the new CEO’s “ammunition” can last. If ApeChain’s TVL and daily active data are real, hold tight; if it’s just talk, then run.

This pump is a triple resonance: news sparks the move, FOMO tops up, and a technical breakthrough completes the ignition.

But remember: the losses that hurt you the most are never from some trash coin—they’re from FOMO chasing highs and getting “hung up” on the mountaintop, the “star coin.”

Those who dared to surge already got their profit; those who didn’t—wait for the pullback. #加密市场行情震荡 $APE
