ALGO is trapped at critical supports within a downward trend at the 0.09 USD level. As it approaches the main buying zone at 0.0807, a breakout above the 0.0930 resistance could trigger upside potential.

Current Price Position and Critical Levels

ALGO’s current price is hovering around 0.09 USD and under negative pressure with a 24-hour change of -2.64%. The price is positioned below EMA20 (0.10 USD), giving a short-term bearish signal; the Supertrend indicator also points to the 0.11 USD resistance level, confirming the bearish trend. Although RSI at 38.93 is approaching the oversold zone, momentum is weak. A total of 7 strong levels were detected across 1D, 3D, and 1W timeframes: 2 supports/1 resistance on 1D, 1 support on 3D, 2 supports/3 resistances on 1W confluences. This MTF alignment shows the price is trapped in the 0.0807-0.0930 range; volume increase is required for breakout. Historically, strong rejections from supports were observed at similar low RSI levels (before the late 2025 rally), indicating the current structure may be a liquidity collection area.

Support Levels: Buyer Zones

Primary Support

0.0807 USD (strength score: 67/100) stands out as ALGO’s most critical primary support level. This level coincides with the order block region on 1D and 1W timeframes – it was tested with strong buying volume after the deep drop in October 2025 (triggering a 40% rebound at the time). It also shows confluence with EMA50 (around 0.0810) on the 3D chart; according to volume profile analysis, trapped seller liquidity has accumulated in this zone. If price reaches here, aggressive buyer entry is expected due to high multi-timeframe confluence (MTF) score; it experienced rejection 3 times in historical tests, the last one in January 2026 resulting in a 15% recovery. Invalidation is a drop below 0.0780 – this would accelerate the downtrend and open the 0.0506 target.

Secondary Support and Stop Levels

0.0913 USD (strength score: 65/100) functions as a secondary support close to the current price (0.09). This is the demand zone coinciding with the 24-hour low (around 0.09); it aligns with the latest swing low on 1D and Fibonacci 0.618 retracement level. A slight volume increase was observed, so short-term buyers are defending against stop hunts here. Secondary invalidation is a break below 0.0880; this level is supported by 1W EMA200 (0.0895) but weakened by lack of volume. For stop-loss strategy, a 0.002 USD buffer below 0.0913 is recommended – this is a liquidity grab area.

Resistance Levels: Seller Zones

Near-Term Resistances

0.0930 USD (strength score: 70/100) is the nearest-term resistance and the upper band of the current range (0.09-0.10). It forms a supply order block on the 1D chart; it was tested and rejected twice in the last 48 hours, confirming seller dominance with volume spikes. There is confluence with the EMA20 (0.10) approach, and the Supertrend resistance is nearby. A clean close and increasing volume are required for breakout – otherwise, fakeout risk is high. In historical context, continued downside was seen after liquidity sweeps at similar resistances (November 2025).

Main Resistance and Targets

The upper target at 0.1361 USD covers the main resistance cluster on the 1W timeframe (Fib 1.618 extension + old highs). This level is reinforced by 3 strong 1W resistance tests; volume profile shows high POC (Point of Control) density. Breakout scenario requires above 0.0930 + BTC stabilization; R/R ratio around 1:3 (with 0.0807 stop). Major invalidation is a breakout above 0.14 – however, the current bearish structure increases underperformance probability. The 0.11 Supertrend resistance should be monitored as an intermediate target.

Liquidity Map and Big Players

Big players (smart money) may be targeting the 0.0807 support liquidity pool – this area has potential to collect stops from trapped longs with equal lows. Above 0.0930 is short sellers’ take-profit liquidity; imbalances (fair value gaps) are trapped between 0.0913-0.0930. The 1W 2 supports/3 resistances imbalance suggests whales are planning a downside sweep for upside manipulation. Volume is low at 14.71M USD; spikes will determine order flow. The liquidity map points to a sweep below 0.0807 for downtrend continuation, followed by a reversal setup – classic BOS (Break of Structure) tactic.

Bitcoin Correlation

BTC is in a downtrend at 67,161 USD (-0.63% 24h), Supertrend bearish; altcoins like ALGO move with 0.85% correlation to BTC. If BTC loses the 65,050 support, ALGO will cascade to 0.0807; a BTC break below 61,088 is the full downside scenario. Conversely, if BTC breaks above 68,118 resistance, it will support ALGO’s 0.0930 breakout. BTC dominance increase crushes alts; currently in caution mode – monitor ALGO spot ALGO Spot Analysis and futures ALGO Futures Analysis.

Trading Plan and Level-Based Strategy

Bearish bias dominates: If it holds below 0.0930, test 0.0807, then 0.0506 downside target (R/R 1:2.5). For bullish reversal, 0.0930+ close + volume spike required, targets 0.11-0.1361. In the medium term, look for bullish divergence on 0.0807 hold (RSI base). Risk: 1-2% per trade, stick to invalidations. This outlook is price action based – markets are variable, keep spot or futures leverage low. Prioritize MTF confluence monitoring.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
