The past 24 hours saw a transaction volume amounting to $140 million on the Algorand network the previous day, according to data on Messari.io.

In the short term, ALGO showed a bullish bias on the price charts. In the past week, it has climbed above the former monthly (March) highs at $0.895, and in the past few days, this level has served as support. There is also the $0.92 area (cyan box) which has formerly been a zone of resistance.
At the time of writing, it looked to have been flipped to support. Using the swing low and swing high at $0.8 and $0.988, Fibonacci retracement levels (yellow) were plotted. Above $0.988, the $1 and the $1.03 levels can act as take-profit levels.
There was some evidence that buying pressure was waning in recent hours. This could see ALGO pullback toward the $0.87-$0.89 area.
