What’s Next As Algorand Price Remains Congested

Algorand price continues to pack negative price action throughout the month of November. The altcoin has depreciated by more than 40% since the beginning of this month. Over the last 24 hours, ALGO has just risen by 0.6% on its chart, emphasizing continued lateral price movement.

Currently, the coin has been stuck at a crucial resistance level. The technical outlook points in a direction where ALGO might not make a price comeback soon enough. The buying pressure has dropped considerably, which has reflected the fact that the coin has been undergoing a massive sell-off. If Algorand is to come under bullish influence, buyers have to immediately re-enter the market.

The asset’s price action is expected to become even more congested at the $0.20 level if the bears halt movement above the $0.23 mark again. It remains to be seen if Algorand reclaims the $0.24 price level.

ALGO was auctioned at $0.23 at the time of writing. The overhead price ceiling was $0.24, and the altcoin faced rejection every time it inched toward that zone. With the massive sell-off, Algorand can lose the $0.23 price level and pierce through the $0.22 mark to sit on $0.20 for some time.

The altcoin can be expected to trade at $0.22 for some time before it targets $0.20, and if buyers return, ALGO can trace upwards from the $0.22 price mark. The amount of Algorand traded in the past session decreased, highlighting the sell-off.

Corresponding to the same reading, ALGO remained under the 20-Simple Moving Average (SMA). If the price of the coin moves above the 20-SMA, then the bearish thesis could be invalidated. According to the 20-SMA reading, sellers were driving the price momentum.
