Cardano Eyes Key Resistance: ADA's Struggle at $0.50 Could Shape Next Trend

Cardano (ADA) is exhibiting signs of a potential uptrend as it recently broke past the key resistance at $0.47. The currency has managed to sustain above this level, indicating a strong support base that could propel further gains. Cardano (ADA) is currently positioning itself for a potential upward trajectory as it consolidates above the critical support level at $0.480. After a recent rally that saw ADA touch a high of $0.510, the price experienced a pullback towards $0.480 support, which aligns with the 100-hourly simple moving average.

This technical setup points to the potential for ADA to breach the immediate resistance at $0.4980, with a sustained move above this level possibly propelling the price toward the $0.5250 resistance zone.

For ADA to ignite a significant rally, it must close above the $0.500 mark. Such a move could validate the bullish trend line and see prices targeting higher resistance levels at $0.5250 and potentially $0.5450. Conversely, should ADA falter below the $0.480 support, it could trigger a sell-off towards the next major support at $0.450, potentially invalidating the current bullish hypothesis.

Cardano Price Analysis Shows Tight Trading Range as Resistance Tests Bulls

Cardano's trading session today highlighted its struggle to break past the crucial resistance point at $0.50, as indicated by the ADA/USD 4-hour chart. Currently, the price oscillates just below this level, forming what appears to be a rising wedge—a pattern often associated with a potential bearish reversal. This pattern is underscored by the ADA price hitting higher highs and higher lows, converging towards a pivot that could lead to a breakout or breakdown.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has remained moderately above the 50 mark, suggesting a neutral to slightly bullish sentiment among traders. However, the RSI is also showing signs of divergence, as it fails to reach new highs alongside the price—this could signal weakening momentum.

 Additionally, the Average Directional Index (ADX) sits above 25, indicating that the current trend has strength, but the rising wedge formation calls for careful watch, as a downward price correction might be imminent if ADA fails to sustain its push above the current resistance level. If the price breaks downwards from the wedge, the next significant support is projected around the $0.44 area.
