Stablecoin exits and institutional deals reshape network sentiment

In Q3 2025, Algorand reported a 28.3% quarter-over-quarter decline in its stablecoin market cap, driven chiefly by a 29.3% drop in USDC holdings. Tether halted support for USDT on the network, freezing tokens from September 1 before partially reversing the freeze, though issuance and redemption remain paused. Institutional adoption continued through the Algorand Foundation’s market making partnership with XBTO on major exchanges, as well as Hex Trust expanding staking pool access for institutional clients and the launch of the xGov (Beta) mainnet to enable community-driven infrastructure funding.

Oversold signals deepen as technical momentum reinforces downside

Momentum remains decisively bearish, as both the D1 MACD ("Strong Sell") and ADX (33.08, "Sell") underscore persistent downside strength. Oscillators indicate oversold conditions on several fronts: RSI (32.7, "Sell"), Stoch RSI ("Oversold" at 16.44), and CCI (–183.1, "Oversold"). The BBP indicator also reinforces seller dominance with a "Sell" signal and a negative value, while the Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not change the trend bias. The next dynamic resistance is the Ichimoku Kijun level at $0.1427, while current prices remain deeply below this key line.

Further downside likely as narrow trading range caps rebound

For the next 5 trading days, ALGO/USD is expected to move between $0.119 and $0.125, fitted tightly around the current price in line with typical volatility. The probability of a further decline is very high (more than 80%), making a sustained rebound less likely. The baseline scenario is continued sideways trading within this compressed range. In a bullish scenario, a break above the $0.125–$0.127 area could bring short-term relief, but resistance near $0.1427 (Ichimoku Kijun) should limit upside; a fall below $0.119 support could accelerate the bearish trend toward new lows.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees Algorand in a challenging spot. He notes deep bearish pressures across technicals and cautions that structural fundamentals remain clouded by declining stablecoin activity and network outflows. Despite recent institutional initiatives, sentiment is still dominated by selling pressure. Karapetjanc believes that short-term recovery chances are slim but not nonexistent. "If Algorand can consolidate above $0.125 and regain positive flows, tactical sentiment may improve — but until then, sellers remain in control."

Last time, analysts noted Algorand was under sustained bearish pressure, trading below key moving averages with a strong bearish bias in both MACD and intraday oscillators. Momentum remains weak, with the RSI subdued and the nearest dynamic resistance defined by Kijun — factors highlighted during the coverage of Algorand slides 726percent today — while the projected trading range and indicator consensus pointed to continued downside risk.
