Decentralized crypto token Algorand (ALGO) must hold above key support for the price to recover. Moreover, in case ALGO touches and goes below the green zone, the price will drop.

A critical resistance level causes Algorand to show ambiguity. Algorand’s upside potential appears to be capped by the $1.9 resistance level. ALGO can resume its uptrend only if this price point is decisively closed above.
Algorand’s Make-or-Break Moment
Algorand has been hit by the volatility backlash, and it is one of the altcoins that have been affected by it. In response to a sudden spike in selling pressure, the high-performing Layer 1 token has erased all its gains for today. According to data from Bybt, more than $36.8 million in long and short positions have been liquidated over the last four hours.
ALGO tumbled nearly 7% during this period, falling from an intraday high of $1.86 to a low of $1.81. Despite the price volatility witnessed in the past few hours, Algorand continues to trade above stable support.
According to the 50-day moving average, this cryptocurrency is being held by a significant support barrier. If ALGO keeps doing so, the market may be able to breach the $1.90 resistance barrier and reach $2.54. This optimism is a result of a triangle pattern that has been evident on Algorand’s daily chart since September 13, 2021.
It is important to note that a daily candlestick close below the 50-day moving average at $1.76 could invalidate the bullish thesis and lead to further losses. In addition to triggering investors to exit long positions, a break of this crucial support level will increase selling pressure behind Algorand. Such unique circumstances could cause ALGO to plunge to $1.24, the 200-day moving average.
