Cardano

ADA is up by a total of 15.6% this week as the coin set a new ATH price at $3.16. The cryptocurrency has been trading inside an ascending broadening wedge since the first week of August, which allowed the coin to reach as high as $2.95.

This week, ADA found support at $2.75 and bounced from the lower boundary of the wedge on Wednesday. Yesterday, it spiked above $3.00 to set the new ATH but failed to close beyond $3.00. Today, ADA still sits beneath $3.00 as the buyers battle to gain support above the level.

Looking ahead, if the bulls break $3, the first strong resistance lies at $3.20. This is followed by $3.42 (1.272 Fib Extension – purple), $3.66 (1.414 Fib Extension – purple), $3.85 (1.414 Fib Extension – blue), and $4.00.

ADA is performing well against BTC but continues to struggle to close above the 6000 SAT resistance. It reached this resistance for the first time earlier in August and has struggled to close a daily candle above it after making numerous attempts.

Yesterday, ADA did spike above 6000 SAT but failed again to close above it. It also closed beneath the ascending price channel it was trading within – but a break above 6000 SAT would allow the bull swing to continue.

Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at 6000 SAT. This is followed by 6300 SAT (1.272 Fib Extension), 6540 SAT (1.414 Fib Extension), 6760 SAT (1.618 Fib Extension), and 7000 SAT.
