Can the 23.6% Fib support level hold?
Source: APE/USDT on TradingView
Despite the price rejection at $6.422, bulls have defended the 23.60% Fib level ($4.932) four times in February. As a result, APE has consolidated within 23.6% ($4.932) and 78.6% ($6.004) Fib levels in the past four weeks.
If the 23.6% Fib level holds for the fifth time, bulls could push APE’s price toward the 61.8% Fib level ($5.677) in the next few days. But they must clear the hurdles at 38.2% Fib level ($5.217) and 50% Fib level ($5.447) to gain leverage. The next significant resistance level will be $6.004.
On the contrary, bears could sink APE below 23.6% Fib level to reinforce their market influence. If bulls fail to defend the support, bears can look for shorting yields at $4.757 or $4.472.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovered below the 50-mark in the past few days, tipping the balance in favor of bears. However, on-chain metrics suggest bullish sentiment, which could boost the bulls.

APE saw an improved investor outlook and an uptick in whale activity
Source: Santiment
According to Santiment, APE recorded significant whale activity transacting above $100k. Such increased whale transactions could increase APE value and inflict a recovery. Moreover, the weighted sentiment increased sharply on the positive side, suggesting investors’ outlook on the asset was bullish.
In addition, the 90-day Mean Coin Age recorded a rising slope, showing that there has been a network-wide accumulation of APE. The drop-off at press time indicates an increased movement of APE tokens between addresses. As a result, APE could be warming up for a recovery if the 23.60% Fib level holds.
