• There is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.1100 on the 4-hours chart of the ADA/USD pair (data source from Bitfinex).

Cardano (ADA) is Facing Hurdles

Recently, cardano’s price struggled to gain momentum (unlike bitcoin) above $0.1100 and declined sharply. ADA broke the $0.1065 and $0.1050 support levels.

The bulls were able to protect the $0.1000 support and there is no proper close below the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). A low is formed near $0.1009 and the price is currently correcting higher.

There was a break above the $0.1035 level, plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.1105 high to $0.1009 low. An initial resistance is near the $0.1060 and $0.1065 levels.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.1105 high to $0.1009 low is also near the $0.1060 level to act as a hurdle. The first major resistance is near the $0.1085 level. More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.1100 on the 4-hours chart of the ADA/USD pair.

To start a strong increase, cardano must clear the $0.1085 and $0.1100 resistance levels. The next key resistance is near the $0.1200 level, above which the bulls might aim a test of $0.1250.

Dips Supported?

If cardano’s price starts a downside correction, it is likely to find support near $0.1030 and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).

The main support is still near the $0.1005 and $0.1000 levels (a multi-touch zone). If there is a downside break below $0.1005 and $0.1000, the price might start a strong decline. The next key support is near the $0.0900 level.
