bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Algorand is back on traders' radar as ALGO pushes higher from a long-held base after spending much of 2026 in a prolonged downtrend. The network is gaining renewed traction around institutional blockchain use, real-world assets, and enterprise transactions. This activity is bringing fresh attention to the token as it presses toward resistance. The move marks a shift for the asset which had been trapped in its previous trend for a significant portion of the year.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ALGO, measured when this story was written up on 10 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ALGO is trading at $0.09890 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 49.2%, indicating a near-even split between buyers and sellers. The 1-hour buy ratio is 48.6% and the 4-hour ratio is 47.4%, showing that short-term buying pressure is slightly weaker than the daily average. Volume delta is negative across all timeframes, with -$4,325 in the last hour, -$41,824 over four hours, and -$50,251 over 24 hours. This negative delta means that sell volume has exceeded buy volume, suggesting that despite the price rise, sellers are currently dominating the flow. Only 10 of the last 24 hours saw net buying, further indicating that the upward move is not yet supported by consistent accumulation.
The latest daily buy ratio of 54.0% sits at the 90th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.9% - among the strongest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ALGO, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the buy ratio averaged 50.9%, making today's 49.2% ratio 1.7 points lower than the weekly norm. Volume has been 1.24 times the average, showing increased activity compared to the standard week. The coin has gained 6.0% over the last eight days, with a total volume delta of +$151,962 for the period. While the recent hour shows net selling, the weekly context reveals that net buying has occurred on 3 of the last 7 days. This suggests that the current short-term selling pressure is a deviation from the broader weekly accumulation trend.
