Cardano Struggles Beneath $1, Will It Rest Above Its Crucial Support?

Price of Cardano (ADA) has been unstable following larger market trends. Bitcoin slid upto 20% over the past week and major altcoins followed through. Bitcoin’s revisit to levels that it hasn’t touched for months has caused other altcoins to plummet considerably.

In just 24 hours, ADA nosedived 20% and over the last seven days, the coin posted over 30% loss in market value. ADA has been one of the worst performing altcoins of the month causing investors and buyers to flee the market.

Continued sell off could cause the coin to dip further and rest near the $0.40 mark. Amidst other worrying factors, such as increasing inflation, hiked interest rates and an impending recession, broader market weakness could continue to bother the stability of the crypto industry.
