Why it may be a good time to start paying attention to Algorand

  • Algorand price action has been devastated, dropping nearly 55% this week alone.
  • ALGO returned 2021 lows and promptly bounced.
  • Massive buying pressure at fifteen-month lows likely signals an impending bullish reversal.

Algorand price action has been no different than nearly every other cryptocurrency and nearly every other risk-on asset class. After hitting a weekly loss of 52%, buyers stepped in and have thus far continued to support ALGO.

Algorand price on the road to retest is $0.95

Algorand price is currently up nearly 40% from the new 2022 low established yesterday at $0.36. Bulls have made solid attempts at the $0.50 level, and bears have spent an equal amount of pressure attempting to keep ALGO at or below $0.50.

The first target bulls must close above is $0.50. From there, the high volume node is at $0.73. The most critical resistance zone that Algorand price must close above is between the $0.86 and $0.99 price levels. $0.86 to $0.99 contain the following technical resistance points:

  1. Top of the Ichimoku Cloud (Senkou Span B) at $0.85
  2. 38.2% Fiibonacci retracement at $0.86
  3. 2022 Volume Point of Control at $0.94
  4. 50% Fibonacci retracement at $0.99

It is very possible that Algorand price may repeat the same moves it experienced throughout 2021. However, downside risks remain a concern.

ALGO/USDT Daily Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Chart

On the weekly and daily Ichimoku charts, Algorand price is still decidedly bearish, and bulls should watch for rallies to face staunch resistance until roughly the $0.86 value area. If bears remain in control and complete a daily close at or below the 2021 low of $0.33, then ALGO may be on its way to testing the Covid Crash lows in 2020.

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.
