The second week of April brings a rare concentration of protocol-wide catalysts that could move specific altcoins sharply. A consensus upgrade, full blockchain migration, and token unlock will take place between April 7 and April 12. BeInCrypto analysts have identified three altcoins to monitor where the catalyst directly intersects with the current technical structure.
This creates settings that require attention regardless of orientation.
Tonquin (tons)
Toncoin (TON) price is at $1,254, inside a bearish channel containing the price action since early February. The final sub-second upgrade reaches full activation on April 7 when validators vote to enable fast consensus across both the core and mainchain.
The upgrade reduces confirmation time to less than one second, directly improving usability for Telegram widgets, payments, and high-frequency on-chain activities. The basic trigger makes it one of Important altcoins to watch As we head into the second week of April.

However, the daily chart shows complexity. Between February 7 and April 5, the price made a lower high while the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum oscillator, made a higher high. This is a hidden bearish divergence, a pattern that usually indicates a continuation of the current downtrend. Note that TON is down over 20% year-to-date, highlighting the downward trend.
The underlying catalyst could ease the divergence if enough buying pressure is generated. Taking back $1,265 would be the first step towards invalidating the bearish setup. Above that, $1,391 and $1,517 become the next target. However, if the upgrade fails to spark demand and the price falls below $1,209, the lower trend line of the descending channel faces a direct test.
A daily close above $1,265 negates the hidden bearish divergence and opens an uptrend towards $1,391, while a break below $1,209 confirms the continuation of the downtrend.
Aptos (APT)
Aptos Trading (APT). At $0.85 on the 12-hour chart, down 48% year-to-date and 10% over the past seven days. This altcoin faces 11.31 million open APT on April 12, worth approximately $9.65 million, adding 0.68% to the supply released across four allocation categories.
The 12-hour chart shows a bearish flag and pole pattern since late March. The pole represents the sharp decline from the March 24 high, and the current consolidation resembles a flag. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), a proxy for significant buying and selling pressure, is at -0.22, deep below the zero line. This negative reading confirms that significant funds were exiting rather than accumulating during the merger process.
As long as the CMF remains negative, every bounce within the flag risks being a continuing setup rather than a reversal. The April 12 opening adds supply to an environment where significant capital inflows are already being withdrawn, creating dual headwinds.
A break below the $0.84-$0.82 area would confirm a breakdown of the flag and could activate a measured move of 26% to the downside. The first step towards a breakout would be a 12-hour close above $0.93, followed by $0.97 and $1.01 to break up the pattern completely. However, this would require the CMF to restore the zero line first.
A close below $0.82 separates a flag consolidation from a certain breakdown, while a recovery of $0.93 with a positive CMF would weaken the bearish structure.
six (six)
Six (six) trades At $0.054, it is down 51% year to date but flat over the past seven days, making it one of the few altcoins keeping an eye on a potential trend reversal this week. The EVM-only migration window will close between April 6-8, completing Sei’s full transition away from the Cosmos IBC to native EVM compatibility.
Both Coinbase and Kraken have announced support, pausing deposits and withdrawals during the migration. After migration, all activities shift to the full EVM architecture, which simplifies the process of onboarding developers from the Ethereum ecosystem and paves the way for… A broader “Giga” upgrade targets 200,000 transactions per second.
The daily chart is showing an important signal. Between February 11 and April 5, the price made a lower low while the RSI made a higher low. This record bullish divergence indicates weak selling momentum after months of continuous decline. When bullish divergence aligns with a structural trigger such as an EVM migration, the probability of a trend reversal increases.
However, the coin still needs a 40% move to reach meaningful resistance at $0.075, limiting the immediate bullish case. A close above $0.058 will confirm that the divergence is triggering a bounce. Above that, $0.070 and $0.075 become the targets that would turn the structure from bearish to neutral or even bullish.
A break below $0.051 would invalidate the bullish divergence for the time being and open the way towards $0.048 or lower, confirming that the migration is priced in rather than a true demand catalyst.
