$ALGO has relative strength—up 13.8% over 24 hours while $BTC is down 1.2%—but the detail matters more than the headline: ALGO/USDT rejected 0.1435 and slipped to 0.1342 by 10:58 UTC.

That turns a momentum chase into a patience test. The 15-minute chart shows buyers repeatedly failing to hold the 0.138 area after the spike, while the current candle is still incomplete.

Hypothetical scenario: confirmation requires a 15-minute close above 0.1385, followed by a retest that holds the level. The first checkpoint would be the 0.1435 session high. Invalidation is a 15-minute close below 0.1300, the base of the final expansion leg.

No confirmation means no setup. A large green 24-hour number can attract attention; acceptance above resistance is what would make continuation technically cleaner.

Data: Binance Spot, ALGO/USDT and BTC/USDT, 8 Oct 2026 at 10:58 UTC.
