Algorand Price Prediction: ALGO is on the brink of hitting $1 for the first time since 2019

• Algorand price is contained inside an ascending parallel channel which could break soon.
• Positive announcements by Algorand in the past week can push the digital asset above the critical point.
• ALGO bulls aim for a price target of $1 in the near future.

Algorand has been trading in a robust and steady uptrend since December 31, 2020. The digital asset has formed an ascending parallel channel on the 12-hour chart and aims to see a breakout in the short-term thanks to several positive announcements.

Algorand partners with Xfinite to create a blockchain-based media ecosystem

Algorand has just announced a partnership with Xfinite, a next-generation media platform, to create a blockchain-based media ecosystem. The strategic partnership aims to bring mass adoption to the blockchain media industry. W. Sean Ford, COO of Algorand stated.

Xfinite has a visionary understanding of how blockchain can be leveraged for new opportunities in the media industry. Broad blockchain adoption can only be achieved through the creation of products that are tangible and inclusive for any consumer, no matter what region they are in or what their background may be. With major partnerships with organizations that have millions of users, we are excited to support Xfinite’s new applications and welcome them to the Algorand community.

Algorand price can see a massive 40% breakout in the short-term

Algorand has established an ascending parallel channel on the 12-hour chart and it’s close to a breakout above the crucial resistance level at $0.76. Climbing above this point will drive Algorand price towards $1, which is a 40% move, calculated using the height of the pattern.

However, on the 1-hour chart, losing the 50-SMA support level at $0.69 will be a bearish sign that would push Algorand price down to a support trendline at $0.65. Losing this trendline can quickly drive ALGO below $0.60.
