In a notable departure from the broader cryptocurrency market, Cardano (ADA) has faced challenges in capitalizing on the recent bullish sentiment sparked by the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 0.50% earlier this week decrease.
While major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have posted gains of over 5% in the same time frame, ADA is currently trading at $0.3517, reflecting a 2% decline in the past week.
Buy signals for Cardano
Despite these short-term headwinds, analysts remain optimistic about Cardano’s future price trajectory. Trend Rider, a technical analyst, has done that marked a major development on the one-week ADA chart: the ADA Oscillator Wave has turned green for the first time in 46 weeks.
This indicator signals a potential bullish reversal, prompting Trend Rider to personally invest in ADA at the current price. He identifies a key support level just below the current price of $0.3150.
Looking ahead, Trend Rider believes ADA is poised to test a resistance level at $0.400, which would mark a 13% upside from the current trading price. Such a move could pave the way for further upside momentum, potentially pushing Cardano towards long-term resistance levels of $0.460 and $0.480.
Another analyst, Jesse Olson, also has one bullish outlook for Cardano observed a buy signal after the token made a higher low on the daily chart.
Olson has identified key price targets that can be realized if the buy signal materializes. He suggests that ADA could first reach the $0.4500 region, followed by subsequent targets of $0.550 and eventually surpass $0.620, with a long-term goal of reaching $0.650 by the end of the year.
Supports ADA compliance
Amid these bullish predictions for the Cardano token by both analysts, key levels should be held to limit possible corrections in the coming days. Currently, a critical support level lies at $0.3445, which has provided stability for the token over the past week, which is essential for maintaining potential upside momentum in the days ahead.
Should the $0.3445 support be broken, the next key target to monitor is the $0.3296 region, which represents this week’s lower price level for ADA. A decline to this level would indicate weakening bullish sentiment and could lead to additional selling pressure.
However, the situation could worsen if the bears continue to gain strength. The next major support level to watch is at $0.3150, which would represent a drop of over 10% from current prices. This level is critical as it has acted as a strong defense for ADA, and its breach could signal a longer downtrend.
Further afield, another key support level lies at $0.3035. This threshold played a major role in preventing ADA from falling below the $0.300 mark during the market crash that started on August 24. The price reached a one-month low during that period, highlighting the importance of maintaining this support.
