Can Algorand price defend bears attack and rebound to $1

  • Algorand price is outperforming the broader cryptocurrency market by holding onto recent higher lows. 
  • Selling pressure remains intense, but so is the buying response. 
  • Make-or-break zone ahead for bulls and bears. 

Algorand price is currently down over 12% for the day, matching the average losses of the market. However, ALGO has seen buyers step up and begin a strong defense at the $0.63 value area. 

Algorand price could trigger a massive bear trap above $0.75

Algorand price action on the daily chart is one of the better positioned altcoins to trigger a strong bullish reversal. While ALGO recently made new 2022 lows as recently as April 30, the post-low price action has been bullish, with buyers showing conviction to test higher. 

The critical price level that bulls need to target to begin the test of a bullish breakout is above the current high volume node and the 88.2% Fibonacci retracement at or above $0.75. 

From there, the 2022 Volume Profile thins out considerably, giving bulls an easier opportunity to breakout above the Ichimoku Cloud and to test the 2022 Volume Point of Control at $0.95.

If bulls fault to support Algorand price, then the next likely support zone bears will push ALGO to is the final high volume node in the 2021 Volume Profile at $0.45. In that scenario, ALGO would produce a several major all-time lows in its oscillators, likely triggering a massive corrective move higher.

XRP approaches key support as risk-off sentiment deepens
Ripple (XRP) is trading at $1.06 on Monday, maintaining its position within a broader bearish trend. The token’s technical outlook continues to deteriorate, pressured by declining retail participation. Appetite for risk assets remains lethargic, as reflected in the Fear & Greed Index, which is embedded in the Fear territory at 28.
Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline amid renewed risk-averse sentiment
The cryptocurrency market remains weak on Monday, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling toward the nearest $62,000. Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) reflect the sell-off across altcoins, edging lower toward $1,800 and $1.05, respectively. Risk appetite remains subdued, as the Fear & Greed Index holds steady at 28, deep within Fear territory.
The Bitcoin futures yield collapse: Once over 20%, now less than Treasury notes
Once a goldmine for carry traders, Bitcoin futures have flipped, consistently underperforming plain‑vanilla U.S. Treasuries every month since February. Carry trades consistently yielded 20% or more across regulated and unregulated crypto exchanges during the 2021 bull market. The strategy involved shorting Bitcoin futures while simultaneously buying a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The crypto market is moving in the opposite direction to equities
The crypto market’s market capitalisation has fallen by 1% over the past 24 hours, returning to levels last seen in mid-July. The positive momentum the market showed in the first half of last week failed to take hold. Once again, we are seeing a negative correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index, this time in the form of falling cryptocurrencies while shares rise. Could this be becoming the new norm?
Bitcoin: Bulls hold the line
Bitcoin (BTC) edges slightly lower, trading at $64,300 at the time of writing on Friday but holding firmly above a key support zone. US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) support BTC as they continued to attract institutional flows through Thursday, pointing to the fourth consecutive week of net inflows.
