ApeCoin price rose for eight consecutive days, reaching a high of $2.166, its highest level since March 2024.
ApeCoin (APE), which was launched by Yuga Labs, the creator of Bored Ape Yacht Club, has jumped by 340% from its August lows.
APE jumped as its fundamentals showed that the total value locked in the ApeChain network jumped to a record high of over $34 million. This is a big increase for a chain that was launched a few months ago.
The biggest player in ApeChain’s network is Camelot, a DEX whose TVL has jumped by 83% in the last 30 days to $23.3 million.
Gains Network, a derivatives exchange, has attracted $9.26 million in assets. The other top networks in the ecosystem are Saru, Ape Express, Fisclend Finance, and ZenoLend.

The daily chart shows that the APE price has been in a strong uptrend after bottoming at $0.4937 a few months ago. It has formed two key patterns that point to more gains in the near term.
Apecoin price formed a golden cross pattern as the 200-day and 50-day moving averages flipped each other. An asset often goes parabolic when it forms this pattern.
APE is also in the process of forming a cup and handle pattern whose upper side is at $2.68. Therefore, by measuring the depth of the cup and its distance from its upper side, ApeCoin could jump to $5 in this crypto bull run.
