Cardano price analysis: ADA falls flat to decline below $0.55 support

Cardano price analysis shows signs of bearish pressure coming into the market on the 24-hour price action, as price fell 4 percent to move as low as $0.5320. ADA fell below previous support at $0.55 after yesterday’s price action showed strong indication of a continuation of the current uptrend. While today’s price action saw ADA fall flat, price currently remains in technical uptrend and could break above the next resistance point at $0.60 soon. This will be greatly dependent on the release of the key US Retail Sales data for July, which if not disruptive could provide an upturn in sentiment for Cardano and push price upwards to $0.67-$0.69.

The larger cryptocurrency market remained largely in the hands of bears over the past 24 hours, as Bitcoin fell down to $23,500 and Ethereum moved below the $2,000 mark to settle at $1,800. Among leading Altcoins, Ripple showed some consolidation to move up to $0.37, whereas Dogecoin crashed 2 percent down to $0.082. Meanwhile, Solana dropped more than 3 percent to move as low as $41.6 and Polkadot declined down to $8.5 following a 3 percent downtrend.

The 24-hour relative strength index (RSI) also shows a downward trend for ADA market valuation, as it slipped from over 60 to move down to 53.45 today. Meanwhile trading volume went up by 35 percent over the past 24 hours, suggesting major price action was with sellers. Meanwhile, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) curve is shaping to form a bearish divergence for the first time since August 14, 2022. If price breaks below $0.53 over the daily chart, it could quickly tumble further down to test the 50DMA at $0.50, which would open the door for a potential return to $0.40.
