Cardano Price Analysis: ADA Struggles to Close Above a Critical Resistance Level

ADA/USD – Bulls Struggle To Make Ground Above 20-day MA

Key Support Levels: $2.20, $2.00, $1.95.
Key Resistance Levels: $2.22, $2.36, $2.50.

ADA rebounded from the support at $2 (.618 Fib) on Friday and broke above the September descending trend line. Although it did spike above the 20-day MA to reach as high as $2.36 (bearish .382 Fib), it could never close above that level.

Over the weekend, ADA continued to trade beneath the 20-day MA as it failed to establish any sustainable momentum above it. A strong closing candle above it would signal that ADA is ready to head back toward the September highs.

ADA-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at the 20-day MA, around $2.22. This is followed by $2.36 (bearish .382 Fib), $2.50 (bearish .5 Fib & 50-day MA), and $2.65 (bearish .618 Fib).

On the other side, the first support lies at $2.20. This is followed by $2.00 (.618 Fib), $1.95 (100-day MA), $1.88 (downside 1.414 Fib Extension), and $1.80.

The daily RSI is coiling beneath the midline, indicating that the previous bearish momentum is fading.

ADA/BTC – Bears Push Beneath .5 Fib Support

Key Support Levels: 4350 SAT, 4220 SAT, 4000 SAT.
Key Resistance Levels: 4500 SAT, 4700 SAT, 5000 SAT.

ADA fell beneath critical support at 4700 SAT (.5 Fib) yesterday as it continued to decrease further below 4500 SAT and the 100-day MA. The cryptocurrency has been trading inside a descending price channel since hitting the resistance at 6000 SAT in the first week of September.

Initially, ADA found support at 4800 SAT but could not hold the level over the weekend. The lower angle of the price channel is still available for support moving forward.
