How Algorand price prepares that will liquidate bears

  • Algorand price is set to complete a bearish triangle, breaking the monthly S1 support.
  • ALGO could be dumped towards $0.30, but expect a significant shift in sentiment as bulls scope up price action. 
  • A bear trap is thus looming and could see a violent squeeze towards $0.50, pumping up the price by 60%.

Algorand (ALGO) is set to take a step back but then rally a long way with the final removal of a bearish element. After the completion of a bearish triangle, bulls will have the opportunity to jump into price action at significantly discounted prices and then ramp up price by 60% in what will be the largest bear trap and short squeeze in ALGO’s history. If bulls can play their cards right, even an upswing towards $0.60 is possible.

ALGO is set for a short squeeze with bulls likely to crowd the scene

Algorand (ALGO) price is set to complete a bearish triangle – with the descending black trendline from $0.50 as the hypotenuse and the baseline as the monthly S1 around $0.41. This should result in an initial break lower for Algorand price , roughly towards $0.30, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) breaking back into the oversold area. However, with bears lacking an incentive to rally further, bulls should have a free lunch to get in on the price action, sparking a quick turnaround towards $0.50, from there, breaking back above the bearish triangle and catching bears in a bear trap, that will squeeze them out. 

ALGO price will – once it hits $0.30 or even $0.23 – rebound and form a very violent breakout that will slice like a knife through butter back up through $0.30. The critical element here is for traders that are not part of the price action not to chase the move but instead wait for consolidation at $0.50 and enter there for a rally towards $0.65. At that level there is a quadruple technical resistance from the 55-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), the red descending trend line, the monthly pivot and a historic pivotal level from February 24.

At risk is another correction of roughly 45% towards $0.23, which is the last line of defence before a move down below $0.20 and the monthly S2 support level. Although this level is already mentioned in the above paragraph, it would need a quick rebound off that level, in just a matter of minutes. In a case ALGO consolidates at $0.23 and trades at that level for several days, even starts to form a squeeze to the downside, expect then more losses to come.

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.

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.
