$ALGO produced a 23.7% intraday range—and ended up almost where the day began.

At 20:02 UTC, ALGO/USDT was 0.1201 after trading from 0.1154 to 0.1435—only 1.2% above the daily open but 16.3% below the high. Spot volume had reached 157.8M ALGO, about 5.4 times the previous day's total.

The useful read: high volume confirms heavy participation, not direction. When a surge returns to its origin and leaves a long upper wick, the session records turnover and rejection—not a clean breakout.

The next objective event is the 00:00 UTC daily close. A finish above 0.1244, yesterday's high, would repair part of the damage. A close below the shared 0.1153–0.1154 lows would turn the failed breakout into a fresh breakdown signal. Between those levels, the upper wick remains the day's defining feature.

No prediction is required; the close will classify the day.
