Another major reason behind the APT price rally is the recent partnership between the Aptos blockchain and crypto exchange MEXC. this joint collaboration aims at promoting the use of APT through various different events.
The recent increase in APT prices can be attributed primarily to a rise in staking activity on the MEXC exchange. Staking allows investors to earn rewards by locking up their tokens, which decreases the circulating supply and can lead to higher prices. The growing demand for staking Aptos on MEXC has generated upward pressure on its price.
Traders on MEXC can participate in a $1.5 million reward pool for staking their APT tokens, offering up to 20% APR for those who lock their tokens for 30 days.

Based on this flag pattern, the APT price breakout above $10.5 will confirm the bull flag breakout. As of press time, APT is trading 9.22% up at $10.92 eyeing for a short-term rally further to 12.50 as per the projections by AMCrypto.
The next significant resistance level is approximately $15.00, with a higher target set at $19.00, determined by the bullish structure’s 76.41% measured move. Given the technical breakout from the previous resistance and the projected target from the current formation, a sustained rally could push the price beyond $19.00.
Additionally, Aptos has also been making significant technological advancements. The integration with Chainlink Data Feeds along with the introduction of the Shoal++ consensus protocol have significantly improved the Aptos network performance and reliability.
