Algorand [ALGO] saw an 18.61% surge in trading volume after breaking out of its falling wedge pattern with substantial buying pressure.
At press time, ALGO surged by 5.4% and was trading at $0.250, according to CoinMarketCap.
The altcoin has been consolidating inside a falling wedge pattern for weeks before a breakout above the $0.24 key resistance level. Following the breakout, traders wonder what is next as Algorand flashes mixed signals.
Algorand’s price action on the chart
Looking at the 4-hour chart, ALGO has gained a bullish momentum, breaking above the $0.24 key resistance level on its descending resistance trendline.
The price has been consolidating above its falling wedge pattern as the bulls attempt to confirm the breakout and price uptrend.
As buying pressure increases, ALGO could eye $0.32 in the short term while targeting the $0.40 key resistance level. Failure to sustain above the $0.24 could lead to retesting the $0.22 key level toward the $0.17 support in its falling wedge formation.

The MACD(12,26) stood at -0.0213, suggesting a potential bullish momentum. However, with the EMA and mid-term SMA signaling “sell”, the uptrend is unconfirmed yet.

Key levels to watch
Algorand must sustain its bullish momentum above the $0.24 key level with strong buying pressure. It should make higher highs and lows in the lower timeframe to confirm its breakout.
If the uptrend holds, the altcoin could hit the $0.32 key level while targeting the $0.40 key resistance level in the next few weeks.
