Will Cardano fall by 20% soon? Market sentiment says…

• ADA’s Long/Short Ratio was at 0.93, indicating bearish sentiment among traders.
• A prominent crypto expert believes that ADA could face a short-term price correction.

Amid an ongoing price correction across the cryptocurrency market, Cardano [ADA] appeared poised for a significant price decline, as its daily chart formed a bearish pattern.

Alongside ADA, other major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], and Solana [SOL] also experienced price corrections.

Cardano key levels

According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, ADA appeared bearish as it formed a bearish pin bar candle, touching the resistance from the descending trendline at press time.

The formation of such a candlestick pattern on the daily chart is considered a bearish signal, which traders and investors take into account when building short positions.

Since April 2024, ADA has touched this resistance level multiple times, and each time it faced selling pressure. However, this time, the crypto community expects a similar selling pressure and price decline.

Based on the recent price action, if ADA closes a daily candle below the $0.3912 level, there is a strong possibility it could decline by 20% to reach the $0.31 level in the coming days.

However, this bearish thesis will only hold as long as ADA is trading below the $0.42 level. If it breaches this level, the bearish outlook may fail.
