Algorand touted as a crypto to watch in the next bull cycle, but how attractive is it?

  • A popular crypto analyst has suggested Algorand will be strong when a bull cycle kicks in.

  • Algorand has remained muted despite being the official sponsor of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

  • The cryptocurrency is bearish.

When is the next crypto bull cycle? After a disastrous 2022, industry experts say huge corrections are a normal process, and a bull run should finally set in. 

Blockworks co-founder Jason Yanowitz says in bear crypto markets, losses can range between 85%-90%. If we take, for instance, the highest value of Bitcoin of above $68,000, we find that the cryptocurrency has lost more than 70%. Time for a bull run? Of course, we can’t tell yet, although most cryptocurrencies are displaying multiple bottoms. Whether that indicates, an imminent reversal is a story for another day. 

Like any other crypto enthusiast, you must time bull runs for big and quick money. Algorand ALGO/USD is one of those cryptocurrencies expected to return massively in the next bull cycle.

A popular pseudonymous crypto analyst says Algoraand is well-positioned for a strong run. He pointed to Algorand’s connections with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He acknowledges that Algorand’s founder is a computer science and cryptography professor at the University. Coincidentally, MIT is collaborating with the US Fed for its projected digital dollar. According to the analyst, that connection opens a lot of potential around Algorand.

From the daily chart, ALGO has fallen below the $0.36 support. Momentum is weakening, with a bearish crossover on the MACD indicator.

Should you buy Algorand?

Despite receiving good attention, Agorand is still in a bearish market and not yet a buy. A recovery above $0.36 is needed to consider the further upside. Otherwise, ALGO could slide back to the $0.30 zone.
