ApeCoin’s on-chain metrics point to local top following 78% climb over 6 weeks – Santiment

ApeCoin may have hit a local top after a steady climb of 78% over the past six weeks, according to Santiment Analytics.

The research firm said a divergence between network growth and price is taking shape, which may lead to downward pressure on the token, indicating that a local top may have started to form around January 23.
