2024-10-18

Cardano price started a fresh decline below the $0.3565 zone. ADA is consolidating above $0.3420 and might attempt a recovery wave.
Cardano Price Consolidates Losses
After testing the $0.3700 resistance, Cardano struggled to continue higher. ADA formed a short-term top and started a fresh decline, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a move below the $0.3550 and $0.3500 support levels.
The price even declined below $0.3450 before the bulls appeared. A low was formed at $0.3394 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor move above the $0.3420 level. The price cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3705 swing high to the $0.3394 low.
Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $0.3460 on the hourly chart of the ADA/USD pair. Cardano price is now trading below $0.350 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $0.3515 zone. The first resistance is near $0.3550 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3705 swing high to the $0.3394 low. The next key resistance might be $0.3620.
If there is a close above the $0.3620 resistance, the price could start a strong rally. In the stated case, the price could rise toward the $0.3700 region. Any more gains might call for a move toward $0.3880.
More Downsides in ADA?
If Cardano’s price fails to climb above the $0.350 resistance level, it could start another decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $0.3420 level.
The next major support is near the $0.3400 level. A downside break below the $0.3400 level could open the doors for a test of $0.3220. The next major support is near the $0.3100 level where the bulls might emerge.
