Cardano (ADA) finds itself at a pivotal juncture as it tests its longstanding support at $0.24. This critical level has held firm for nearly three years, emerging as a significant accumulation point for savvy investors.
The recent daily candle hints at a somewhat neutral stance in the market. This slight uptick in price suggests a potential dissipation of the strong bearish sentiment that has lingered, with traders now recognizing renewed buying interest hovering around the $0.24 mark.
Bullish Hopes Rest On Breaking Sustained ADA Resistance
The eyes of Cardano enthusiasts are now fixed on a key resistance level, as breaking free from this barrier could set the stage for a significant trend reversal.
According to a price report, should Cardano manage to surpass this critical resistance point, it could spark a rally, potentially pushing prices upward by approximately 6%, with the next major hurdle resting at $0.25. Should this upward momentum persist, it could further drive the coin’s value towards the coveted $0.28 mark.
As of the latest data available, ADA is trading at $0.246841 according to CoinGecko, reflecting a 0.7% gain over the past 24 hours. However, over the course of the past seven days, the coin has experienced a decline of 3.6%.
