Cardano (ADA) Eyes Recovery: Key Resistance Holds The Answer

Cardano price started a downside correction below the $1.050 zone. ADA is consolidating and facing hurdles near the $1.020 and $1.040 levels.

• ADA price started a downward move below the $1.020 support zone.
• The price is trading below $1.00 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
• There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.015 on the hourly chart of the ADA/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
• The pair could start another increase if it clears the $1.020 resistance zone.

Cardano Price Faces Selling Pressure

After struggling to clear the $1.120 resistance zone, Cardano started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. ADA declined below the $1.10 and $1.050 support levels.

The pair even declined below $1.00. A low was formed at $0.9151 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor increase above the $0.940 resistance level. It cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.1113 swing high to the $0.9151 low.

Cardano price is now trading below $1.00 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $1.00 zone. The first resistance is near $1.020.

There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.015 on the hourly chart of the ADA/USD pair. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.1113 swing high to the $0.9151 low.

The next key resistance might be $1.050. If there is a close above the $1.050 resistance, the price could start a strong rally. In the stated case, the price could rise toward the $1.0650 region. Any more gains might call for a move toward $1.10 in the near term.

Another Decline in ADA?

If Cardano’s price fails to climb above the $1.020 resistance level, it could start another decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $0.9450 level.

The next major support is near the $0.920 level. A downside break below the $0.920 level could open the doors for a test of $0.90. The next major support is near the $0.8650 level where the bulls might emerge.
