Is the Market Setting Up For a Surge to $1?

Cardano price is struggling to rebound as the broader altcoin market continues to succumb to bearish trends. The downward trend has persisted for most of the week, leading to consistent downward pressure on ADA’s value. 

The bulls and bears have been locked in a tight battle, with neither side able to gain a decisive advantage. This ongoing struggle has resulted in significant price fluctuations, keeping ADA under crucial resistance as traders remain cautious amidst uncertain market conditions.

Cardano Price Struggles Amidst Bearish Market Trends

According to Coinglass data, the Cardano ADA derivatives market has significantly declined across several key metrics. The volume has dropped by 64.75%, settling at $167.60 million. Open interest remains relatively stable, with a minor decrease of 0.02%, totalling $162.72 million. 

However, the options volume has plummeted by 92.94%, down to just $6.59K. Similarly, the open interest in the options also decreased slightly by 0.27%, amounting to $374.92K. These figures indicate a marked reduction in market activity and interest in ADA derivatives.

Over the past 24 hours, the Cardano price experienced a notable rebound after a period of fluctuation. The layer 1 token has been hovering between a high of $0.3386 and a low of $0.3285. At the time of writing, the ADA price is currently at $0.3345, with a slight surge of 0.8% observed during the European trading session.

Cardano is grappling with recovery, eyeing a potential bullish reversal if it surpasses the $0.35 resistance. Breaking this level could drive ADA towards $0.5, with a possible rally pushing the price to $1. 

Cardano’s TVL and Network Activity Remain Resilient

According to DefiLlama, Cardano currently has a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $181.98 million. The platform’s stablecoins market capitalization is $13.63 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.29 million. Additionally, 20,242 active addresses were recorded over the past 24 hours, indicating engagement and activity within the Cardano network.

The 4-hour technical indicators for Cardano price show a mixed outlook. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows signs of a potential bullish crossover. The MACD line (blue) moves slightly above the signal line (orange). Despite this, the histogram is near the zero line, suggesting that momentum is weak in either direction.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 51.81, slightly above the midline of 50, which indicates that the market is neither overbought nor oversold.

However, insufficient market support risks a decline, with immediate support at $0.33. Continued downward pressure might lead to a drop to $0.3, and intensified selling could push ADA to $0.28.
