APE Price Slides This Week but BNB Chain Expansion Fuels Bullish Recovery Hopes

  • ApeCoin broke out of a falling wedge pattern signaling a possible bullish trend with a 10% target.
  • APE launched on PancakeSwap and BNB Chain tokens which will open new liquidity opportunities.
  • ApeCoin continues its multi-chain growth with BNB and Solana expansion, aiming to strengthen ecosystem reach and long-term holder value.

Despite ApeCoin (APE) falling 5.16% in 24 hours and 31.76% over the past week, recent technical breakout and BNB Chain expansion hint at growing potential in the evolving DeFi landscape.

Technical Setup Indicates Bullish Momentum

Analyst ZAYKCharts highlighted a potential price gain of 10.13% from the breakout level, setting a short-term upside target of $0.4412. The chart shows APE moving with lower highs and lower lows, but the gap between them is narrowing. This hints that selling pressure is slowing down. A recent candle has now closed above the top trendline, showing buyers are stepping in.

Analysts also suggest that a retest of the breakout zone could serve as confirmation before continuation, but maintaining support above the $0.40 may increase the chances of the target being reached. However, failure to hold this level could trap long positions in a false breakout scenario.

APE Expands to PancakeSwap and BNB Chain

ApeCoin has started trading on PancakeSwap, as shared on their official Twitter. This listing lets users trade APE with many tokens on the BNB Chain, boosting ApeCoin’s role in decentralized finance.

The new APE-BNB liquidity pool is live, allowing users to add funds and earn rewards. When users add liquidity, they get LP tokens and can enjoy higher APRs. This setup makes it easier for DeFi users on BNB Chain to trade APE with different tokens.

PancakeSwap uses an automated market maker (AMM) system, which lets users trade quickly without order books. Listing APE on PancakeSwap helps make the token easier to trade and more accessible in DeFi.

Wider DeFi Strategy and Long-Term Outlook

ApeCoin’s launch on PancakeSwap is part of a bigger plan to grow across multiple blockchains. On September 9, 2025, APE also joined the Solana network through its RAID initiative, which started on August 31, 2025. This plan aims to bring APE to fast and low-cost blockchains.As of writing it is trading at $0.3895 . 

Long-term outlooks stay positive although short-term concerns like governance issues and inflation have affected sentiment. Some forecasts expect the growth in the ApeChain ecosystem and partnerships with Yuga Labs to push it to reach $9.64 by 2030 and possibly $13.78 by 2031.
