APT Falls 2.98% This Week: Ranked 111th Out of 200 Weeks as MonoMove News Fades

The News Spread, the Price Fell

Aptos Labs proposed the MonoMove upgrade, and the topic circulated on the Square, but APTUSDT did not move higher this week. According to Binance's official API data, APTUSDT opened the week at 0.8008 USDT and last closed at 0.7769 USDT, a weekly move of -2.98%. Placed against a 200-week sample, that ranks 111th, in the back half of the sample — 110 weeks were stronger. The technical iteration and the price action did not move in the same direction this week.

How the Week Unfolded Day by Day

2026-10-01	0.77 USDT	0.7753 USDT	0.69%
2026-10-02	0.7754 USDT	0.793 USDT	2.27%
2026-10-03	0.7931 USDT	0.8031 USDT	1.26%
2026-10-04	0.8032 USDT	0.8008 USDT	-0.3%

2026-10-07	0.8255 USDT	0.7769 USDT	-5.89%

Three days stand out. On 2026-10-05, APTUSDT opened at 0.8008 USDT and closed at 0.8448 USDT, a daily move of 5.49% — the strongest day of the stretch and the only one above three points. On 2026-10-06 it slipped from 0.8446 USDT to 0.8256 USDT, a move of -2.25%. On 2026-10-07 it dropped from 0.8255 USDT to 0.7769 USDT, a move of -5.89%, erasing the 10-05 gain along with the earlier advances. The days from 10-01 to 10-04 moved 0.69%, 2.27%, 1.26% and -0.3% — a slow grind higher that the final two sessions gave back entirely.

What the Stronger Weeks Looked Like

The top of the 110 stronger weeks shows a different scale. The week of 2023-01-09 ran from 3.9307 USDT to 7.9277 USDT, a move of 101.69%; 2023-01-16 went from 7.9266 USDT to 13.3001 USDT, 67.79%; 2023-01-23 went from 13.3 USDT to 18.3404 USDT, 37.9%. More recently, 2025-09-29 ran from 4.2263 USDT to 5.4552 USDT, 29.08%, and 2024-09-16 from 5.871 USDT to 7.9634 USDT, 35.64%. This week's -2.98% ranks 111th out of 200, in the back half of the sample — neither the weakest nor anywhere near the strongest.

What the Square's Popular Posts Say

Popular posts on the Square argue that the MonoMove upgrade is a technical iteration for the APT ecosystem and worth watching (paraphrased, not this site's view). Some link technical progress to later ecosystem activity; others note the lag between news and price. The 5.49% move on 10-05 looks like a news-driven pulse, but the following -2.25% and -5.89% show buyers did not hold it.

Three Things Worth Saying Plainly

First, news-driven gaps often fade fast. The 10-05 run from 0.8008 USDT to 0.8448 USDT was the hottest point, yet the week closed at 0.7769 USDT, below that day's open. Second, high leverage amplifies drawdowns; APTUSDT is a crypto USDT-margined perpetual, and a single -5.89% day costs multiples in margin. Third, funding rates are an ongoing holding cost, and the best week is always a conclusion in hindsight — 2023-01-09's 101.69% was not obvious at the time.

Fees

Binance's default maker fee is 0.02% and taker fee is 0.05%. With a 20% rebate, the effective maker fee is 0.016% and the effective taker fee is 0.04%. These are fixed cost items for both longs and shorts.
