ApeCoin price has made a strong bullish recovery in the past few days as investors focus on the rebounding Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC). APE price was trading at $4.71, which was the highest level since November 6. It has risen by more than 77% from the lowest level in November. The coin has a total market cap of over $1.7 billion.

Bored Ape Kennel Club sales rise

ApeCoin is a relatively new cryptocurrency that was developed by Yuga Labs. Yuga is a multi-billion dollar company that developed some of the best-known NFT collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC). The token is used to provide more incentives for NFT holders. It is also used to power the metaverse ecosystem created by Yuga Labs. 

ApeCoin price tends to have a close relationship with Bored Ape Yacht Club’s network. In 2022, the token’s price crashed hard as NFT sales plunged. In total, NFT sales crashed by more than 90% from January to December. APE also crashed as concerns about the future of NFTs rose. 

Data compiled by CryptoSlam shows that the volume of the Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC), a smaller NFT collection , has risen in the past few days. Total sales rose from over $7.2 million in November to over $23 million in December. It has already handled over $23 million in volume in December. This is a sign that the volume will continue rising in the coming months.

Volume of Bored Ape Yacht Club collections also rose. The volume of the collection rose from $63 million in November to $77.5 million in December. It has risen from over $31 million in September. Meanwhile, Mutant Ape Yacht Club sales volume surged from $29 million to over $47 million.

ApeCoin price prediction

Turning to the four-hour chart, we see that the APE price has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few days. The token has managed to move above the important resistance level at $4.577, the highest point on December 11. It has moved above the 50-day moving average. It is also above the Supertrend indicator, which is also a bullish sign. 

Therefore, the outlook of ApeCoin is still bullish with the next key resistance level to watch will be at $5.5. A drop below the support at $4.5 will invalidate the bullish view.
