Cardano Price Forecast: ADA bears aiming for levels below $0.27
Cardano price was rejected from the upper trendline of the falling wedge pattern (formed by connecting multiple highs and lows with two trendlines since mid-October) on December 9 and declined 27% in the next 9 days, reaching a two-month low of $0.34 on Friday. ADA recovered slightly but failed to sustain the rebound and continued its correction. At the time of writing on Tuesday, ADA is trading down, around $0.36.
If ADA continues its downward trend, it could extend the fall toward the October 10 low of $0.27.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is at 37, pointing downward toward the oversold level, indicating strong bearish momentum. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator showed a bearish crossover on Wednesday, which remains intact, further supporting the negative outlook.
However, if ADA recovers, it could extend the advance toward the 50-day EMA at $0.45.
