Algorand Price Prediction: ALGO at inflection point as bulls face stiff supply barrier

  • Algorand price faces a wide area of resistance after surging nearly 16%.
  • ALGO needs to clear the supply zone that extends from $1.50 to $1.63 to have any chance of surging higher.
  • A 15% downtrend to $1.25 is likely if the buyers fail to shatter the said resistance level.

Algorand price faces a blockade that has rejected it multiple times over the past months. Now ALGO is trying to take another jab at this level.

Algorand price at a decisive moment

The 12-hour chart shows Algorand price stuck between $0.97 and $1.54 for almost three months. Although there were a few deviations from bulls trying to break out, they were hammered down.

At the time of writing, ALGO surged nearly 34% in under ten days and is steadily heading toward the supply zone that stretches from $1.50 to $1.63. A break out above this area will signal that the bullish momentum has overwhelmed the market sellers.

Under these conditions, Algorand price could rise 10% to retest the recent swing high at $1.79 or the pivot point on February 12 at $1.84.

If the bullish momentum persists beyond this point, ALGO could easily swing 23% to tag the 161.8% Fibonacci extension level at $2.21.

The bullish thesis mentioned above depends solely on the fact that buyers overwhelm the sellers and break through the supply zone. However, if the momentum falls short, sellers could trigger a 15% downtrend to $1.25.

A breakdown of this level would invalidate the optimistic scenario and kick-start another 15% downswing to $1.07.
