The recent low was $0.1200 and the price is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.1361 high to $0.1200 low. The first major resistance is near the $0.1280 level.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.1361 high to $0.1200 low is also near $0.1280. The main resistance is near the $0.1320 level and a connecting bearish trend line on the same chart, above which the bulls are likely to aim a new monthly high above $0.1400. In this case, the price could test the $0.1500 resistance.

Chances of Downside Break?

If cardano’s price fails to stay above the $0.1200 support, it could correct lower towards the $0.1100 level. Any further gains could intiaite a major decline towards the $0.1000 level.

An intermediate support might be near the 100 simple moving average (4-hours) and $0.1050. A successful close below the $0.1000 support may perhaps push the price into a bearish zone.
