The bad press surrounding the hack has negatively impacted the DeFi protocols housed on Algorand, with some of them registering double-digit declines in the last 24 hours.

At press time, ALGO exchanged hands at $0.252. While the coin’s value rallied by 1% in the last 24 hours, an assessment of its performance on a 12-hour chart revealed stagnancy in buying momentum.

At press time, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) rested beneath the center line at 43.42. Also, moving sideways and positioned below its neutral spot, the coin’s Money Flow Index (MFI) was 31.13 at press time.
