By Abbe Borg, see previous stories by him here. ApeCoin (APE) has had a rollercoaster ride, cementing itself as a key player in the Web3 ecosystem. Launched as a governance and utility token for the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem, APE is designed to support gaming, commerce, and decentralized communities. It's backed by Yuga Labs, the creative powerhouse behind BAYC, and remains one of the most recognized tokens in NFT and gaming circles. ApeCoin: The rubberball token? In a recent interview, crypto blogger and industry analyst David Hoffman noted, "Tokens like ApeCoin showcase the cultural side of blockchain, where community ownership meets tangible applications in entertainment and gaming. Despite market conditions, it's these experiments that keep the Web3 dream alive." Recent Developments The current price of ApeCoin stands at $1.28, showing a 3.05% gain in the last 24 hours. APE has seen increased interest with growing ecosystem developments, particularly in gaming and metaverse projects under Yuga Labs. Additionally, APE powers ApeCoin DAO, giving holders a say in the token's future initiatives, which include funding ecosystem projects and partnerships. Market Action: Technical Analysis As of this week: Price Action: ApeCoin is trading near the $1.28 mark, with a daily range of $1.27 to $1.32. It has seen a modest recovery from its recent 52-week low of $0.48, but it's still far from its all-time high of $26.70 set in April 2022. Resistance Levels: Immediate resistance lies at $1.35. Breaking past this level could see APE challenge $1.50 in the short term. Support Levels: $1.20 is a strong support zone. A drop below this could signal bearish sentiment, potentially retesting $1.00. Indicators: RSI is neutral at 51, suggesting APE isn't overbought or oversold. The MACD line's recent bullish crossover hints at potential upward momentum, though with modest conviction. Challenges and Opportunities The token faces criticism for its high reliance on speculative demand, particularly as the NFT hype has cooled. Regulatory scrutiny over governance structures like ApeCoin DAO also looms as a potential challenge. However, ApeCoin's integration into Yuga Labs' projects, such as Otherside Metaverse, positions it uniquely within the intersection of gaming, NFTs, and decentralized finance. The Bottom Line ApeCoin remains a speculative asset but offers exposure to some of the most prominent Web3 initiatives. While the token's price has struggled in the bear market, its utility within Yuga Labs' ecosystem and its DAO governance model keep it relevant. Traders and investors should keep a close watch on upcoming developments, particularly the adoption metrics within gaming and NFT communities. As always, approach with caution, stay informed, and understand that Web3 is as much about the tech as it is about the communities rallying behind it.

Welcome back to NFT Alpha! Your #1 source for NFT news. In today's episode, Taco takes a look at updates posted about the Otherside and a new mint happening today!
Traditional markets and equities haven't seen a major move either with the Nasdaq down slightly. Interest rates had a pretty big move after Powell spoke yesterday alluding to further rate hikes this year. This is opposite of what people were expecting, with the last bit of shared info pointing to a pause on hikes. Crypto is rallying today after the lull yesterday. BTC is at $31.5k and ETH is at $1830. The general consensus is if Bitcoin breaks past 31k there will be a rally up, but it's all speculation. This is NFA!The ETH/BTC pair is at 12 month lows. The stage seems to agree that Proto-danksharding will save us (not really but it's fun to say and type).Latest updates from the SEC rampage is pointing to a good outcome for crypto as a whole. It seems that it might not even be up to the SEC to make certain decisions and we could see some light on the horizon yet.There is also news of FTX attempting a revival, which has ruffled some feathers to say the least. There are some major investors trying to buy back into the bane of the crypto space which is surprising to most. NFTs are still having a bit of fallout after the Azuki Elementals mint. The floor price on the new collection has stayed basically the same, for both revealed and unrevealed beans, although some of the rare ones have fetched a proper price. @ZAGABOND is supposed to speak tonight in a holders-only setting, which is causing some speculation. If he has something positive to share or hint at, we could see some good price action as a result. There is still the unknown influence of the green beans on the entire ecosystem as well.BoDoggos We were joined by @EasyEatsBodega who recently dropped the @BoDoggosNFT on Solana. The doggos went through a complete revamp of the art leading up to the launch before landing on the beloved canine jpegs we have now. You can bet that Easy has big plans for this collection! They have already hit 87k SOL in volume. You can expect to see more rollouts on the Bodoggos page, more comics, some animations etc. Content, product, community are the 3 focal points for the team.Yuga@yugalabs launched a trailer on HV-MTL and the Forge. There is also a big explainer video out, showing some exclusive features based on what sets you hold, as well as some sort of cleaning mechanism, Dyor. The game is powered by Apecoin, so it seems logical that in game purchases will be made using the token. There are 6 different stages of the HV-MTL mechs, so we have no idea what their final forms will look like. GM Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Traditional markets are seeing a bit of bounce. We lost some ground yesterday but things are back up today. Interest rates haven't been moving much and OSF thinks we won't see much activity over the next few months given the recent stance of the Fed. Rumors of Fidelity filing for a BTC ETF seem to be true. There was also some positive news around Coinbase and Blackrock collaborating in some capacity, and Coinbase's stock has seen some positive movement as a result. Macro data points are becoming less important in regards to impact since the Fed has been very clear on their plan and how it will be executed. Inflation is still a factor, but unless it comes in as a big miss/higher, there isn't much to expect. Not a great day in NFTs heading into the @Azuki elemental mint. Most collections have sold off leading to the mint. Yesterday's volumes across were in the 35 million range and the total value of this mint will exceed this, for some perspective. The amount of liquidity in the Azuki ecosystem is large and holders are locked and loaded, and Mando speculates that it will sell out before the public mint. Hopefully it goes well and trades up from the break. It's still a dangerous event and if it turns sour it could really lead to blood in the streets. Apecoin DAO CouncilA brief description of the candidates who came on the show today. The real gold in this episode came from the candidates' responses to various questions. Worth listening back if you want info on who to give your votes to. @karmapocket Sold a company to Alibaba and started investing in crypto/NFTs. He joined the ApeCoin DAO in 2021 and started his own DAO and investment fund. His goal is to see global representation within the ApeCoin DAO.@Waabam_eth Worked at a law firm and entered web3 before finding Ape Coin and participating in the DAO. He has already created working AIP's and has few in the works for the future. His goal is to spread the coin to the masses while creating opportunity. @CapetainTrippy, has been an entrepreneur and business owner over the last 15 years, growing from the bottom up to be a successful business owner. Early in 2021, he bought an ape post mint and started being an active community member focused on the long term success of the apes. The DAO is an opportunity for him to use his skills to operate and ultimately grow the platform. @byswickie minted an ape and then later acquired her ape, Kiki, who has become quite the persona in the space. She comes from a journalism and academic background, and has run various community events for the apes and outside collections. She thinks it's important to have a very balanced council, and her focus is on the community aspect and spreading awareness of the DAO. Don't forget to cast your votes! 1 Apecoin = 1 vote!GM!
