Cardano price breaks crucial support putting ADA at risk of 10% drop

  • Cardano price has broken a trendline to the downside and couldn’t close above $1.40
  • The profit-taking in the markets is not helping to support ADA from going higher. 
  • To the downside, the only real first support sits at $1.15

Cardano price needs to dip lower first for buyers to pick up ADA again and it higher. 

Cardano price tries to hold gains.

Since June 21, Cardano price had a nice run higher, with buyers coming in at $1.00 and pushing it to $1.40 on June 29. But the hype behind ADA is fading now, and it looks heavy to the downside with not much support to cling on to. 

In a bandwidth, Cardano price was quite smacked in the middle of the $1.00 and $1.90 when touching $1.40 before fading the last few hours. A clear break of the upward trendline could send ADA towards $1.30.

The upper Bollinger band confirms the trend and looks like is setting a cap on any possible upside potential for now. On the downside, the lower Bollinger band looks to be falling in place with the descending trendline starting from June 16.

Between $1.11 and $1.15, Cardano presents the lower Bollinger band and the descending trendline as support where buyers have to step in for an upswing again.

Markets, in general, are looking for direction, and with a little bit of risk-off, Cardano price might be dipping lower in the coming days towards the weekend. 

The median Bollinger band might provide some short-term support, and if markets would turn back to risk-on, that might help lift ADA back again to retest $1.43.
