How Algorand price could be axed in half

  • Algorand price sees its price action fall back to $0.43.
  • ALGO price gets support from a historic pivotal level and the monthly S1 for now.
  • In case bears make a breakthrough to the downside, expect to see a 50% drop towards $0.23.

Algorand (ALGO) price is set to drop below $0.43 support and the monthly S1 pivot level. The recent turmoil in the stock market is seeing investors pull out their money and go into cash and bonds. The down move is being contained for now, as the dollar trades sideways, but once it strengthens, expect to see an exponential move to the downside for ALGO price towards $0.23.

ALGO price set to drop from $0.45 to $0.23

Algorand price was set to rally back to $0.60 but got cut short in its tracks overnight during the US trading session as a firesale occurred in stock markets. With the Dow Jones dropping back to the low levels from 2020, investors are mulling over where to put their money to work as cryptocurrencies are falling out of grace. On the back of that, expect to see more outflows with Algorand bleeding and devaluing back to its lowest level of 2021.

ALGO price sees bearish pressure mounting on $0.43, a historic pivotal level, and the monthly S1 support line. If bears can squeeze bulls out of that region, a new area of almost 48% could open up for another decline. Expect to see a nosedive move in another round of investor pullbacks and $0.23 to provide support followed by the monthly S2.

On the other hand, a significant catalyst could kick off a turnaround in global sentiment, in a situation where, for example, inflation got tamed across the globe. If that happens, central banks would need to be less hawkish and have less tighter monetary conditions, opening up more room for spending and supporting the economy, as well as global markets. That would see an inflow back into cryptocurrencies with a quick run up towards $0.69, hitting a quadruple top with the 55-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), the red descending trend line and a historic pivotal level coinciding with the current monthly pivot.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline amid renewed risk-averse sentiment

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.
