Algorand (ALGO) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Appear Poised to Heat Up the Market

Altcoins seem ready to heat back up after a brief cool-off over the weekend. Two altcoins that gained in value at the start of the week and warrant tracking this week are Algorand (ALGO) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Two altcoins that traders and investors may want to keep an eye on this week are Algorand (ALGO) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Both coins secured a bullish 4% rally at the start of the week and now stabilized at key levels.

Both ALGO and BCH broke through channel structures and are showing strong technical and on-chain indicators that could sustain the. As investor attention shifts from large-cap coins to mid-tier gains, these two coins are presenting compelling narratives for continuation rallies.

Algorand is breaking out of a falling wedge, a technical pattern that often signals an impending reversal in trend. This breakout began earlier this week and has now brought the ALGO price to trade around the $0.22 mark.

The next key level of support for ALGO lies at $0.21. If this level holds, a 22% rally from current price levels could push the token to retest the weekly resistance zone at $0.27. This makes ALGO one of the altcoins to watch this week, especially with on-chain data also highlighting a bullish bias.

Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 64, which is comfortably above the neutral 50 mark, which indicates that buyers are in control of the trend.

Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) displayed a bullish crossover, which is a technical indicator that often signals a continuation of the existing trend. In this case, the MACD crossover suggests that the bullish momentum may continue.

ALGO Long-to-Short Ratio

At the time of writing, the ALGO long-to-short ratio at Coinglass stands at 1.07. This is the highest level in over a month, which indicates that traders are becoming increasingly optimistic about the token.

A long-to-short ratio above 1 signifies that more traders are making bullish bets on the token’s price going up rather than short bets on its price going down. This aligns with the recent price action, as ALGO has encountered resistance around $0.25.

The upside action in long positions suggests that the market might be on the same page as the Algorand forecast for a rally. Unless buying pressure is stronger than selling pressure, ALGO should keep going up in the next period.

Bitcoin Cash Reaches Critical Breakout Level

Bitcoin Cash price rally watchers are heating up this week as BCH shows both technical strength and interesting on-chain tidbits. After tapping into a steeper leg of a breakout structure from April 16’s lows and successfully retesting it, BCH is now calmly building on Monday’s 5.3% spike.

From the lows of last eight days, BCH surged more than 15%. Currently, BCH is showing resilience at a critical breakout level of $390.5. If BCH can close above this on the daily chart, then analysts expect to see a 17% rally from current levels. This could push prices toward the next resistance at $459.20.

Like ALGO, BCH’s RSI is also sitting above 60, which reflects healthy bullish momentum. The MACD indicator is also confirming this outlook with a bullish crossover, hinting that buyers are still in control of the trend.

BCH Active Addresses Hit All-Time High

Shifting the focus from candlesticks and charts to the on-chain activity, Bitcoin Cash has been showing some interesting movements. Data from Santiment shows that Bitcoin Cash’s Daily Active Addresses just hit an all-time high of 4.13 million.

This surge in blockchain activity showcases an increased demand for BCH’s network, presenting a bullish implication for future price strength.

As investor attention spans towards the mid-tier, ALGO and BCH are proving to build a narrative for continuation rallies.
