How is the market moving today?
Live editorial snapshot — numbers update on every refresh
Today's state: Algorand is trading at $0.126400 with a $1.1 billion market capitalization (rank #72). The price moved -5.46% over the past 24 hours and is +6.16% over 7 days; the 30-day move stands at +37.41% and the 90-day at +49.94%. The 1-year picture remains negative, but the 30-day momentum has turned positive — often the early signature of trend change, though confirmation requires sustained 90-day strength.
Position vs cycle: Sitting more than 70% under its prior cycle high, the asset is deep in post-peak drawdown territory — a zone associated with late-stage bear phases or a permanent downward re-rating.
Volatility and structure: 30-day realized volatility of 90.2% annualized is high for an asset this size. Our composite multi-horizon Price Strength reads Neutral (53/100), with the timeframes pulling in different directions and no clean directional read.

Algorand's performance grid shows the asset lost 5.46% over the last 24 hours, with the 7-day picture 6.16% higher and the 30-day frame 37.41% higher. Over the trailing 365 days, the asset has delivered losses of 53.54%, with a mixed multi-horizon profile and no clear directional bias.
The asset currently trades 95.2% below its all-time high, far enough below the peak that the path back has tended to hinge on renewed narrative demand rather than mechanical mean-reversion. 30-day realized volatility sits at 90% annualized — high territory for a crypto asset of this size.
Right now Algorand is exhibiting deep order books and broad exchange coverage. 24-hour trading volume represents 8.422% of market capitalization — our liquidity-health composite scores this as Deep (92/100). This ratio is materially above the top-50 average, often indicating elevated speculative interest or an active news cycle.
The 90-day Pearson correlation of ALGO's daily returns versus Bitcoin's is +0.51 — a moderate positive relationship. Algorand is materially correlated with Bitcoin but retains some idiosyncratic price-action. Portfolio diversification benefit is real but limited.

Three independent models feed the forecast above, following the STNews methodology:
- Technical model projects ranges from moving-average, ATR, Bollinger band and trend-slope inputs — useful when the asset is in a clean trending or ranging regime.
- Statistical (Monte Carlo) model uses the 90-day distribution of daily log returns to project the 5th, 50th and 95th percentile prices at each horizon — useful as an unbiased baseline that does not assume any trend continuation.
- Peer-relative model compares against same-category coins of similar market cap, projecting where this asset would trade if it matched the median, lower-quartile and upper-quartile peer return profiles — useful as a sanity check that anchors to broader sector behavior.
The ensemble forecast shown is a weighted average (40% statistical · 30% technical · 30% peer-relative). The confidence badge reflects how closely the three models agree: tighter agreement → higher confidence; wider disagreement → lower confidence, indicating that the asset is in a regime where statistical models alone are unreliable.
Cross-asset correlations (90d)
Pearson correlation of daily log returns vs top L1 references
Beyond Bitcoin, ALGO's 90-day return correlations to the other two largest layer-1 references help characterize whether the asset moves as part of a crypto-market beta complex or as something more idiosyncratic. The Pearson correlations across daily log returns:
- Bitcoin reference: +0.51 — a moderate positive relationship.
- Ethereum reference: +0.49 — a moderate positive relationship.
- Solana reference: +0.47 — a moderate positive relationship.
When an asset correlates strongly with multiple majors, it is trading largely as market beta — the big caps set the direction and standalone outperformance is elusive. Weak or negative correlations instead signal idiosyncratic forces (its own news, sector rotation, narrative changes) capable of producing returns the broader market does not share.
About Algorand
Algorand (ALGO) is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. It trades at $0.1264 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move down 5.46%, placing it at rank #28 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. Algorand's current market cap stands at $1.11B, a figure used by traders, analysts and institutional desks to gauge relative liquidity and risk exposure across the crypto market.
On this page you'll find a live, daily-refreshed dashboard tracking Algorand across multiple data sources — price history going back several years, on-chain activity where available, fundamentals like circulating supply and dilution, top exchanges by volume, technical analysis using moving averages and RSI, and an algorithmic short, mid and long-term forecast. All figures are pulled from public APIs and cached locally; nothing here is investment advice.
Algorand is a base-layer blockchain built to host other applications. What ultimately drives it is not a single headline feature but durable demand — whether builders keep deploying and users keep transacting on it versus the many competing Layer-1s.
Algorand currently ranks #72 by market capitalisation, making it a top-100 asset. About 88% of the maximum ALGO supply is in circulation today (8.78B of 10.00B), leaving a moderate emission stream still to come. It currently trades about 95% below its all-time high of $2.65 set in November 2021.
By market value Algorand (ALGO) sits inside the top 100, trading at $0.1264000 as of the latest snapshot. ALGO is -5.46% over 24 hours, +6.16% over the past week, +37.41% over 30 days, putting it in the upper half of weekly performers across the top 250 by market capitalisation. Algorand remains roughly 95% beneath its all-time high of $2.65, a level first printed in November 2021. Roughly 88% of ALGO's total supply is liquid today (8.78B of 10.00B), with the balance scheduled for gradual release over time.
Daily volume runs at about 8.4% of market capitalisation, in line with the active-trading band for a coin of this size. On a one-year view ALGO has lost 53.5%, against a broader crypto-market backdrop that closed the period roughly flat after several volatile quarters.
How it works — Algorand
Algorand secures a Layer-1 network through proof-of-stake: rather than mining, validators bond the native token, take turns proposing and confirming blocks, and are slashed if they misbehave. The asset doubles as the gas that pays for computation and as the unit of staking and governance.
Algorand currently ranks #72 by market capitalisation, making it a top-100 asset. About 88% of the maximum ALGO supply is in circulation today (8.78B of 10.00B), leaving a moderate emission stream still to come. It currently trades about 95% below its all-time high of $2.65 set in November 2021.
Use cases — Algorand
The chain is used to deploy and run smart contracts, to stake for network security and yield, to pay transaction fees, and as the reserve collateral underpinning its on-chain economy. Its relevance scales with how much real application activity it hosts.
Daily volume runs at about 8.4% of market capitalisation ($93.48M in the last 24 hours), in the normal band for a coin of this size and supportive of orderly entries and exits.
Tokenomics
Supply schedule & distribution
- Circulating supply: 8.78B ALGO — tokens actively trading and held by the public
- Total supply: 9.06B ALGO — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)
- Max supply: 10.00B ALGO — the protocol-defined upper limit (if any) on lifetime issuance
- Issued to date: 87.8% of max supply
- Locked / treasury: 3.1% of total supply
Algorand's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.
Supply economics
Issuance pressure, dilution, and structural value accrual
To read Algorand's tokenomics, look at the issuance schedule, the share of supply already in circulation, and the gap between market cap and fully-diluted valuation. At 87.8% of maximum supply already issued, the remaining issuance is a relatively small fraction of total potential supply. Sell pressure from future issuance is therefore limited. The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $1.3 billion stands at 1.1× the current circulating market cap of $1.1 billion. The wider this ratio, the more issuance overhang the asset faces — a structural headwind on valuation that mature assets like Bitcoin do not face but that early-cycle assets typically do.
Whether the tokenomics help or hurt comes down to value accrual versus dilution — fee burns, reinvested staking yield and TVL growth on one side, scheduled emissions on the other. A favourable balance lets price grind higher without hype; an unfavourable one means the asset must keep attracting demand just to absorb issuance.
Trader's note
Coin-type-aware tactical interpretation
For Algorand, the metrics that lead price most reliably are application-layer adoption (active addresses, transaction count, fees paid) and staking-economic health (% of supply staked, staking-yield trajectory, net staking inflows). When these network metrics improve faster than market sentiment, the asset tends to re-rate higher even before retail attention notices.
Price Strength reads neutral (53/100). On a chain like this, the more durable entry signal is fundamental stabilisation — TVL and active users finding a floor — rather than the price chart alone. ALGO has historically tracked ecosystem and narrative shifts more than textbook technical setups.

Market sentiment
Crypto Fear & Greed Index · alternative.me
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates volatility, market momentum, social media activity, dominance and Google Trends data into a single 0–100 score updated daily. Today's reading is 73 — Greed.
Extreme fear (below 25) historically signals buying opportunities for contrarians, while extreme greed (above 75) often precedes corrections. The index works best as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal.
Macro & cross-asset context
How macro liquidity and cross-asset moves frame the trade
The macro picture for digital assets turns on three levers — Federal Reserve policy, the path of dollar liquidity, and broad risk sentiment. Historically the whole asset class has tracked the global liquidity cycle closely, expanding in easing regimes and contracting when financial conditions tighten.
Several traditional markets serve as useful cross-checks: a strong dollar (DXY) has tended to weigh on crypto; rising 10-year Treasury yields raise the cost of holding risk; gold occasionally trades as a parallel hard-money hedge; and US equities frequently move in sympathy with crypto when the driver is liquidity rather than fundamentals.
For Algorand specifically, the macro variable that has empirically led price most often is global crypto-market liquidity — proxied by stablecoin total supply, futures open interest, and exchange volumes. When these expand, ALGO tends to follow; when they contract, the relationship typically reverses. Given the 90-day BTC correlation of +0.51, ALGO's near-term macro sensitivity will be similar to Bitcoin's — driven primarily by the same liquidity conditions and risk-asset flows.
Risks
Key risks include concentration of stake among a few large validators, exploits in the contracts deployed on the chain, fierce competition from other Layer-1s for the same developers and liquidity, evolving regulatory treatment of staking, and the reality that network value unwinds quickly if activity migrates elsewhere.
