tradersunion.com reports that Aptos (APT) is holding near $0.85 after climbing more than 23% over the past week. Aptos Labs released mainnet node software v1.49.1 for validators and fullnode operators on September 24, 2026. The Aptos Foundation launched Confidential APT on mainnet, allowing users to encrypt balances and transfer amounts while keeping wallet addresses visible.
The protocol invested $50 million in AI agent tools and partnered with io.net to enable autonomous agents to rent GPU capacity through its x402 protocol. Network activity surged with daily transactions topping 10 million and total value bridged to Aptos tripling to $1.89 billion. Staking for APT tokens was introduced on Bithumb.
The daily setup shows a sustained move higher with a firm trend, confirmed by a 23.33% weekly volatility. MACD remains in buy territory while RSI at 66.8094 is approaching overbought. Immediate support is found at $0.7631 with resistance at $0.8584. Over the coming week, Aptos is expected to trade between $0.7193 and $0.9326.
