- Cardano price action has consolidated into a descending triangle, but a reversal seems likely.
- ADA could make a 30% climb if it manages a break and close above $0.5410.
- A break and close below 0.4668 would invalidate the bullish thesis.
Cardano (ADA) price continues to consolidate below a descending trendline, a bearish technical formation that extended the choppy altcoin market. However, this outcool appears to be changing as cryptocurrency markets take to what appears to be a revival course.
Cardano could bottom out around now
Cardano (ADA) price downtrend has lasted since mid-December, falling around 30%. The price may have bottomed out as the altcoin confronts the blockade represented by the downtrend line. Increased buying pressure could see ADA price overcome the trendline to confront the resistance confluence between the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the horizontal line at $0.5419.
Key levels to watch beyond this level include the $0.5908 roadblock, 10% above current levels, or higher at $0.6412. In a highly bullish case, the gains could see the Cardano price complete the 30% climb to $0.6800.
