ApeCoin (APE) has been a high-performer with the price surge seen in the past couple of weeks.

ApeCoin moving erratic in an ascending parallel channel.
Price maintains to hold above the key support zone of $6.5.

The buying pressure has been impeccable pushing the prices way up. With the recent uptrend, APE registered a 9-week high peaking at $7.8 in the past week.

On the other hand, buyers are trying to keep the coin soaring this week – and it seems like they’re facing hard times. The altcoin is seen to retrace by 2.5% as seen in the past seven days with increased selloffs looming in the next coming days.

APECoin Price Trades at $6.83

According to CoinMarketCap, APE coin price has dropped by 1.39% and trading at $6.83 as of press time.

A weekly price candle has shaped up in conformity with the past bullish candle. On the 4-hour timeline, the altcoin’s price action is observed to appear with a strong wave of higher-lows and higher-highs within the ascending parallel channel.

At this point, buyers are trying to maintain APE as it hovers above the support line of $6.5.

A bullish hurdle for the bulls is spotted right at $8.0. Now, if the bulls are able to breach this critical resistance zone, then $10 may be the next target. The RSI for APE has hovered downwards to revisit the semi-line as seen on the daily price timeline.

Despite the MACD staying above the neutral zone, it still looks rather tepid or flat. More so, the histogram is also weakening.

RSI Shows Retracement; Bears Trying To Claw Their Way In

ApeCoin still managed to trade in an upward parallel channel despite the withdrawal in price seen close to the resistance level of $8.0. RSI shows a bit of retracement and in the event that RSI breaches below the half-line, the bears could potentially breach the parallel channel.

On the daily chart, APE has dipped to 20 EMA or below 100 DMA but is trying to hold on positioning itself above 50 EMA. More so, APE coin price is seen to trade within an ascending parallel channel for over a month now or since July 13. The bears kept on clutching the token but the bulls are not taking it lightly and continuously trying to swing the token near the upper trendline.

APE coin currently trades showing strong downward movement closing near the lower trendline of the ascending parallel channel. Now, APE coin must gain massive support from the bulls the soonest it gets into the trendline and hit reverse to prevent further dips below the channel.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
