In the past few days, Cardano saw a fresh increase above the $0.850 resistance. ADA remained in a positive zone like Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a move above the $0.880 and $0.9250 resistance levels.

The price surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.150 swing high to the $0.8696 low. It even cleared the $1.00 level. However, the bears are now active near the $1.050 zone. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.020 on the hourly chart of the ADA/USD pair.

The trend line is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.150 swing high to the $0.8696 low. Cardano price is now trading above $0.950 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $1.020 zone. The first resistance is near $1.050. The next key resistance might be $1.0840. If there is a close above the $1.0840 resistance, the price could start a strong rally. In the stated case, the price could rise toward the $1.1500 region.

If Cardano’s price fails to climb above the $1.050 resistance level, it could start another decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $0.9650 level.

The next major support is near the $0.9350 level. A downside break below the $0.9350 level could open the doors for a test of $0.880. The next major support is near the $0.8450 level where the bulls might emerge.
