On January 21st, the Apecoin price gave a bullish breakout from the two-month-long rising channel pattern. This breakout showed strong buyers’ commitment to lead an even more aggressive rally.

However, the coin price formed a local top at $6.41 and reverted lower as the uncertainty spread in the crypto market. Thus, the resulting consolidation allowed traders to retest the pattern’s breached resistance for suitable support.

On February 9th, the US SEC charged on crypto exchange Kraken for violating securities laws through an unregistered stalking-as-a-service program that caused panic selling in the market. As a result, the APE price witnessed significant outflow and breached two crucial support of the ascending trendline and $5.26-$5.15 levels.

Losing this support must have also forced the liquidation of the long positions of several traders, accelerating the market selling pressure. Moreover, the long price rejection at the $5.15 mark indicates the sellers are defending the newly obtained resistance.

The post-retest downfall may plunge the price 14% down to reach a rising support trendline.

Anyhow, until this long-coming support trendline is intact, the Apecoin price can maintain a bullish outlook.
