Key Takeaways
Cardano (ADA) is currently undergoing a critical retest phase following an extended W-X-Y corrective structure on the higher timeframe.
While the 4-hour chart signals a possible macro bottom forming at key Fibonacci levels, the 1-hour chart shows short-term hesitation and a potential final leg down in a local correction.
The market closely watches ADA’s ability to reclaim higher support zones before committing to a full recovery.
ADA has been in a prolonged downtrend since its peak at $1.30, completing a full five-wave impulse and a complex W-X-Y correction.
The final Y wave appears to have bottomed at $0.530, aligned with the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level from the full impulsive leg.
Price has since recovered around $0.63, retesting the 0.618 retracement level of the latest decline.
The long-term descending resistance has been broken, indicating that downward momentum may be exhausted.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has shifted from oversold to neutral, suggesting a potential change in sentiment.
However, upside momentum remains capped until the $0.70 resistance is breached.
The repeated bounces from the $0.62 area show strong historical demand, making this zone a make-or-break level.
If price holds above this and consolidates, it could signal the beginning of a new bullish sequence.
Otherwise, another dip toward $0.53 or even the macro low at $0.407 remains on the table.
ADA recently completed a five-wave upward structure from the $0.53 bottom on the lower time frame, followed by an ongoing A-B-C corrective pattern.
Wave (a) and (b) appear complete, and wave (c) could take price down toward $0.60–$0.59, which aligns with prior support levels and possible Fibonacci confluence zones.
The local resistance near $0.65 has rejected further upward movement, forming a short-term range between $0.622 and $0.64.
With RSI recovering from oversold territory, a brief push toward $0.645 is possible before a final C-leg flush occurs.
This short-term bearish outlook remains valid if price fails to break above the $0.645–$0.65 resistance zone with volume.
If wave (c) completes near $0.60 and price bounces with strength, it could begin a new upward impulse.
Otherwise, a break below $0.622 would signal a continuation of bearish momentum.
Expect volatility as ADA finalizes this corrective wave.
Traders should monitor how ADA reacts near $0.622 and $0.60 for signs of reversal or breakdown continuation.
