ALGO Price Hits Upper Band Resistance Amid Momentum Divergence

Algorand's price surged by 11.42% in a single day to reclaim $0.12, but technical indicators suggest that the momentum may be running out of gas.

The price closed directly into the upper Bollinger Band at $0.12, which is essentially the ceiling for this move.

According to Blockchain.news, this move fits the broader Layer-1 rotation pattern playing out across altcoins, but it's a short-squeeze-powered spike on thin volume rather than fresh long positioning.

The top traders' long/short ratio shows institutional and sophisticated participants are 68.5% long, but open interest dropped 9.32% in 24 hours, suggesting the move was powered by short covering rather than new buying.
