At its current price, it remains nearly 200% higher than its year-to-date low.<\/p>\n<p>API3 token rallied along with a massive jump in its daily trading volume, which rose 400% over the past day, indicating strong demand from investors. Further CoinGlass <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/API3\" target=\"_blank\">data<\/a> shows its open interest has surged to an all-time high of $111.3 million, while the long\/short ratio has climbed above 1, suggesting that more traders are positioning for further upside.<\/p>\n<p>The token\u2019s market cap has nearly doubled over the past week, rising from $100 million to $197 million.<\/p>\n<p>API3\u2019s strong gains follow its <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Official_Upbit\/status\/1957711028613181622\" target=\"_blank\">listing<\/a> on Upbit, South Korea\u2019s largest cryptocurrency exchange, on Aug. 19.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is quite common for a cryptocurrency to go parabolic after a major exchange listing. In this case, the effect was evident on Upbit, which recorded the highest daily trading volume at $302.9 million, more than three times that of Binance, which followed with $93.4 million.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>However, such trends often experience a pullback once the listing hype fades. As earlier reported by crypto.news OMNI, the native token of Omni Network, skyrocketed over 120% shortly after a similar listing on Upbit. However, the token lost most of its gains by a week later.<\/p>\n<p>As such, API3 could face a similar risk and may continue to give up its recent gains unless a major bullish catalyst emerges.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, API was down over 18% from its weekly high of $1.82 it hit on the day of its Upbit listing.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">API price analysis<\/h1>\n<p>On the daily price chart, API3 has been forming a symmetrical triangle pattern since the beginning of this year. This formation occurs when price action converges between a series of lower highs and higher lows, reflecting a period of consolidation before a potential breakout.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">API3 price confirmed a breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart \u2014 Aug. 20 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A breakout above the upper trendline typically signals the start of a bullish trend, while a breakdown below the lower trendline often points to renewed bearish pressure.<\/p>\n<p>In API3\u2019s case, the token has confirmed a clean breakout above the upper boundary, driven by the momentum surrounding its recent Upbit listing. Technical indicators reinforce this bullish signal.<\/p>\n<p>The Aroon Up is at 92.86% while the Aroon Down is at 0%, a clear confirmation that upward momentum is dominating the market. Similarly, the MACD has turned positive, with both lines trending upward and green histogram bars expanding, another indication that buyers are dominating.<\/p>\n<p>The next target for API3 is $2.45, based on the projected move from the pattern breakout, which is about 58% higher than its current price.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
