TA on Algorithmic Stablecoins — Do They Ever Follow Chart Logic?

Charting algo stables in stress is like TA’ing a house of cards in a wind tunnel—looks stable till the oracle sneezes
 
Most algorithmic stablecoins are pegged, but when they lose peg, it’s like watching a micro altcoin chart.
Take UST or USDN before collapse — both had massive wedge breakdowns long before the actual depeg.
I’m mapping a few newer algo stables and wondering:
Do any actually show reliable technical setups during stress periods? Or are they fundamentally unchartable due to central oracle/game theory dynamics?
Algo stables in stress? More like scripted chaos—charts break down faster than their peg, making TA a guessing game with no winners.
 
Trying TA on algo stables in stress is like reading tea leaves during an earthquake—good luck spotting a pattern in that chaos
 
That’s a sharp observation—most algorithmic stables behave more like altcoins under stress, with technical patterns (wedge breakdowns, liquidity gaps) often preceding depegs. However, their reliance on oracles and reflexive game theory makes TA less predictive during critical phases. Some newer designs, like overcollateralized or partially-backed models, exhibit cleaner price action and stronger liquidity support zones, which are more chartable. Still, the interplay between protocol incentives and market psychology often overrides technical setups in a crisis. Treating algo stables as hybrid assets—half stable, half speculative—can help frame risk appropriately.
Do you think overcollateralized designs actually help algo stables hold cleaner technical patterns?
And can TA alone ever predict those reflexive cascades during a depeg?
