Cardano Struggles to Climb—ADA Faces Strong Hurdles Ahead

Cardano price started a fresh decline below the $0.75 zone. ADA is correcting some losses and might face resistance near the $0.750 level.

• ADA price started a recovery wave from the $0.650 zone.
• The price is trading below $0.750 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
• There is a short-term bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.720 on the hourly chart of the ADA/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
• The pair could start another increase if it clears the $0.750 resistance zone.

In the past few days, Cardano saw a bearish wave below the $0.80 level, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. ADA declined below the $0.750 and $0.70 support levels.

Finally, it tested the $0.650 zone. A low was formed at $0.6495 and the price recently started a recovery wave. The price climbed above the $0.680 and $0.70 level. The price tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.8169 swing high to the $0.6495 low.

There was a short-term bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.720 on the hourly chart of the ADA/USD pair.  Cardano price is now trading below $0.80 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $0.750 zone and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.8169 swing high to the $0.6495 low. The first resistance is near $0.7750. The next key resistance might be $0.80.

If there is a close above the $0.80 resistance, the price could start a strong rally. In the stated case, the price could rise toward the $0.950 region. Any more gains might call for a move toward $1.00 in the near term.

If Cardano’s price fails to climb above the $0.750 resistance level, it could start another decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $0.7150 level.

The next major support is near the $0.6880 level. A downside break below the $0.6880 level could open the doors for a test of $0.650. The next major support is near the $0.6320 level where the bulls might emerge.
