• Traders holding long positions were over-leveraged at the $0.283 level, with $3.29 million in open long positions.

After a notable 45% price drop in recent days, Algorand [ALGO] appeared to be shifting its market sentiment and showing signs of a price rebound.

Algorand price action and key levels 

During the recent price drop, the asset reached a crucial support level of $0.28, which has a strong history of price reversals.

However, the price remained within a narrow consolidation zone at this support level for consecutive weeks.

Now, as sentiment across the broader market shifts, ALGO has broken out of this zone and is showing signs of a price rebound.
