Cardano price action
Cardano began to decline after reaching a high of $1.23 on Dec. 6, indicating that traders were taking profits. The slide continued for two days in a row and would be the third if today ended in losses.
In today's trading session, Cardano tested support near $1.10. Bulls, if they gain ground, may try to push Cardano above $1.33 again. If they succeed, ADA might reach $1.50.
However, if the price falls below today's low of $1.09, it may indicate that traders are rushing to exit. This might drop ADA to $1, a level likely to attract buyers.
