Since then, the price has been trading within the confines of the triangle. While a breakout has yet to occur, it still remains possible. Learn more in our latest analysis below:
On Apr 2, Cardano initiated a rapid move. By the end of Apr 3, it had reached a high of over $0.1.
Cardano (ADA): Trends and Highlights for Apr 8, 2019
- Cardano reached a high on Apr 3 and has been on a downtrend since.
- ADA/USD is trading inside a symmetrical triangle
- It is trading below the lower bollinger band.
- There is support near $0.08 and resistance near $0.01.
Ascending Triangle
Cardano’s current pattern is traced using the one-hour prices of ADA on Binance from Apr 2 to Apr 8.
On Apr 2, the price reached an hourly low of $0.079. Several market cycles have been completed since. The price has made several higher lows.
Tracing these lows gives us an ascending support line:
On Apr 4, the price made a high of $0.0947. A gradual drop was followed by a gradual increase. The price has reached the same level four times.
Tracing these highs gives us a horizontal resistance line.
The resistance and support lines combine to create an ascending triangle:
It is likely that the price moves within the confines of this triangle until a decisive move occurs. The ascending triangle is a bullish pattern. This mean prices increases—including a possible breakout above resistance—is more likley than price decreases.
In order to figure out whether or not price increases or breakout is imminent, need to apply a few technical indicators.
Bollinger Bands
We begin by incorporating Bollinger Bands into the analysis.A Bollinger Band is a technical analysis tool defined by a set of lines plotted two standard deviations (positively and negatively) away from a simple moving average (SMA). It is used to locate possible reversals after sharp move in one direction.
This is traced in the graph below:
On Apr 8, the price reached a low of $0.863. This caused it to trade below the lower bollinger band.
We can see that the previous three times this occurred, a price increase ensued.
Using this indicator suggests price increases toward the resistance line of the triangle in the near future.
Future Movements
The price of ADA on Binance is analyzed at two-hour intervals from Mar 31 to Apr 5 in order to better assess resistance and support areas.Resistance and support areas are created when the price revisits the same level several times. In case a breakout or a breakdown occurs, they provide possible reversal areas.
These are traced in the chart below:
The first resistance area is found near $0.01, coinciding with the recent high of Apr 3. If the analysis in our previous section proves to be correct, the price could eventually reach this area.
The closest support area is found near $0.08. We currently do not believe that Cardano will reach this area in the near future.
