In only the past week, ALGO has grown by a whopping 30%. Some may not be surprised by this development, as Algorand collaborated with FIFA to create FIFA+ Collect, a platform where fans can buy digital collectibles in the form of NFTs. There has been a dramatic impact on the environment as a result of this alliance.
A tweet from @intotheblack shows that the number of unique addresses that have completed their first transaction for ALGO has increased from 5,000 to 20,000.
There has been an increase in the cost of ALGO because to the increased number of transactions using unique addresses. As of this writing, the price of one coin is somewhere between the 23.60 and 38.20 Fibonacci retracement levels, or about $0.3949 and $0.3724.
There is no denying the ripple impact that this collaboration has on all of Algorand. But will the agreement lead to additional price increases, or is this simply a temporary boost?

Algorand’s NFT sector has witnessed a dramatic increase in activity. From September 21 to September 22, the total volume of NFT trades surged from $186,000 to a staggering $606,000.
This is not the only positive development for the ALGO token and the Algorand ecosystem in general.
The TVL of ALGO observed an increase in staked tokens. From September 22-24, the TVL increased from $234 million to $263.69 million. The Algorand ecosystem also had a significant overhaul.
Additionally, the ecosystem implemented the State Proof procedure. This version provides an additional layer of protection against quantum threats and enables the development of “decentralized bridges” to connect Algorand to other blockchains.
ALGO Bullish Momentum Subsiding?
At the time of writing, the coin’s price has already reached above the double-bottom support level at $0.3687.
This may indicate that the bullish momentum has waned and the bears are currently taking the driver’s seat.
Considering this, ALGO can fall to a relatively secure position near the 50 Fib level. This level will serve as the token’s support. However, it cannot fall below the indicated Fibonacci level, as this would indicate a bottom on September 22.
