The bad press surrounding the hack has negatively impacted the DeFi protocols housed on Algorand, with some of them registering double-digit declines in the last 24 hours. To provide context, Algorand hosted 20 DeFi protocols at press time, out of which 13 experienced a decrease in TVL within 24 hours after the exploit.At press time, ALGO exchanged hands at $0.252.
At press time, the Relative Strength Index rested beneath the center line at 43.42. Also, moving sideways and positioned below its neutral spot, the coin’s Money Flow Index was 31.13 at press time. With ALGO’s MFI and RSI inching closer to overbought zones at press time, a persistent decline in investors’ conviction will result in a significant drop in the coin’s value.
Further, as intraday trading progressed, sellers were in control of the ALGO market. This was proved by the Directional Movement Index . The negative directional indicator was positioned above the positive directional indicator at press time. When the negative directional indicator line is above the positive directional indicator line, as is the case with ALGO, it means that the downward pressure is stronger than the upward pressure, suggesting that the bears are in control of the market. For traders looking to trade in line with the market, it is often taken as a signal to take short positions on an asset.ALGO’s On-balance volume also trended downwards at press time.
