How APE, MANA are feeding investors’ behaviour in different ways

ambcrypto.com:

Over the last seven days, the Metaverse economy’s leading cryptos have noted unimpressive price performances. In fact, according to data from CoinMarketcap, ApeCoin’s APE and Decentraland’s MANA registered gains of only 1.12% and 0.80% over the last seven days. On the contrary, the likes of OP saw a 90% hike in price over the same period. 

What else do we know about these tokens’ performance over the last seven days?

APE traded at $6.64, seven days ago. However, with several other crypto-assets chasing new highs of late, APE moved in the opposite direction. On 26 July, it fell to a low of $5.73.

Following the same, the bulls initiated a price rally, one that led the altcoin to a high of $6.92 two days later. At the time of writing, the crypto was exchanging hands at $6.72 – A mere 1.2% hike in seven days.

The crypto’s trading volume registered a daily high of 794.04 million on 28 July when APE hit $6.92. As the price fell, trading intensity also declined. Within the seven-day window under consideration, the alt’s volume dropped by 2%. 

On the daily chart, APE’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) was housed above the 50 neutral zone, even though it was on a downtrend. With a decrease in the buying pressure of APE tokens over the past seven days, investors’ sentiment can be gleaned too.
