Bitcoin [BTC] dropped below the $22K psychological level and could exert more selling pressure on ALGO. Especially if the bearish sentiment persists over the next hours/days.

ALGO’s depreciation towards the end of February chalked a descending channel (orange). On the three-hour chart, ALGO traded sideways between the 61.8% Fib level ($0.2206) and 100% Fib level ($0.2344) before a bearish breakout on March 7.  The drop has broken several lower Fib retracement levels, but the price bounced at $0.1983. At press time, the price was attempting to retest the 23.6% Fib level ($0.2068). 

ALGO could face rejection at the 23.6% Fib level and move south before bouncing back from $0.1983. Alternatively, it could sink below $0.1983 and attract extra intense selling pressure. 

Therefore, there could be two potential trades on the price action. First, shorting ALGO if it faces price rejection at 23.6% Fib level ($0.2068) or the 7-period EMA ($0.2050). The target would be the 0% Fib level ($0.1983). Secondly, a breach below $0.1983 and the channel’s lower boundary could offer an extra shorting opportunity at $0.1898. 

A break above the 7-period EMA would invalidate the aforementioned thesis and make shorting riskier. However, the upswing could offer near-term bulls gains at the 26-period
