Cardano is currently trading at $2.24 following a magnificent 17.63% bounce from its weekly low of $1.91.
The polarising cryptocurrency, which is the third largest in terms of market cap, recently launched its highly-anticipated smart contracts platform that will pave the way for DeFi development.
However, the positive sentiment surrounding the upgrade rapidly subsided as traders capitalised on the “buy the rumour, sell the news” thesis, with price subsequently plunging by more than 30%.
This typically happens with most major news events as hype builds into the event before deleveraging punishes those that bought at the top. A good example of this was when Coinbase went live on Nasdaq the day of Bitcoin’s all-time high at $65,000.
In Cardano’s case, whilst this week’s recovery has shown signs of strength, it remains stuck at a number of road blocks from a technical perspective.
The daily 50 exponential moving average became a key point of support since it surged above it on August 1. The most recent sell-off saw Cardano slump below that key moving average, with it now beginning to act as a bitter level of support.
If ADA can close a daily candle above the 50EMA at $2.28, it will likely float back to the top of the range at around $2.65.
A rejection from this level would signal a clear downtrend with downside price targets beginning to emerge as low as $1.55 and $1.39.
