Ethereum price

Cardano (ADA) is holding gains above the USD 0.872 and USD 0.865 support levels. ADA is facing hurdles near the USD 0.920 level. The main resistance is near the USD 0.950 level. A clear break above the USD 0.950 level might pump the price above the USD 1.00 resistance level in the near term.
