- Recent price action suggests that the bears are still in control from a long-term perspective.
- Traders should closely monitor the $0.3629 support as a break below this level could lead to further downside risks.
Cardano (ADA) has been navigating somewhat uncertain market sentiment, with its price recently succumbing to increased selling pressure from the $0.39 resistance.
As the overall sentiment in the cryptocurrency market has improved slightly over the past day, Cardano could find support near the 20-EMA. ADA was trading at $0.37 at press time after seeing a decline of nearly 5% in 24 hours.
Cardano bulls spark rally above short-term EMAs
ADA recently bounced from the $0.31 support level but struggled to close above the resistance level near the $0.39 mark.
While price action closed above the 20-day EMA ($0.3629) and 50-day EMA ($0.3752) after the bounce, the recent reversal pulled ADA below its 50-day EMA level.
It is worth noting that the 200-day EMA at $0.4711 acts as a more distant resistance level, highlighting longer-term bearish dominance.
The MACD showed a slight bullish trend, with the MACD line slightly above the signal line. However, the MACD finally entered positive territory after a few weeks. This indicates that the immediate selling momentum may be slowing down.
For bulls to regain control, ADA must find a rebound from the 20-day EMA and retest the $0.39 resistance.
The RSI has been hovering near equilibrium, but buyers should expect a potential bounce from the 50 mark. However, any decline below this level may expose ADA to a delayed recovery.
Key levels to watch
The immediate support to watch is the $0.375 level. If ADA manages to hold above this level, it could attempt to break the $0.39 resistance. A successful close above this resistance could pave the way for a recovery towards the 200 EMA near the $0.47 level.
However, if the bears continue to exert pressure and ADA breaks below $0.3629, it could retest the $0.3454 support level.
