Looking at Cardano’s market performance, ADA has been trading on a descending channel as the bearish activity persists. Since failing to break past the key resistance level at $0.7800 in March, ADA has been steadily declining, losing the $0.6000 key level in April. At press time, ADA is exchanging hands at $0.454, down by 4.35% in the past 24 hours.
Following the recent broad market dip, which saw the leading asset, Bitcoin, drop below the $60,000 key level, ADA was not exceptional. On the monthly and weekly charts, ADA has been down by 23% and 1%, respectively. The market capitalization is at $16 billion, a decrease of 3%, while the trading volume has seen an increase of 60% with a value of $375 million.
Technical indicators on the daily chart paint a bearish picture amid trend reversal signs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is sloping toward the oversold region at the 38 index, indicating a bearish trend. However, the MACD indicator is hovering in the positive region, with the MACD line above the signal line, which suggests an increase in buying pressure.
