An analyst has explained how Cardano is retesting the support line of a technical analysis (TA) pattern, losing which could spell a bearish outcome for the coin.

Cardano Is Currently Trading Inside A Descending Channel

In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a pattern forming in the 3-day price of Cardano. The pattern in question is the Descending Channel from TA, which occurs when an asset observes consolidation toward a net downside between two parallel trendlines.

The top line tracks successive lower highs in the price and the bottom one lower lows. When the cryptocurrency is inside the channel, it’s probable to encounter resistance at the former and support at the latter.

In the scenario that either of these levels don’t hold up during a retest, the asset can witness a breakout in that direction. This means that a surge above the channel can be a bullish sign, while a fall under it a bearish one.

Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the Descending Channel that the 3-day price of Cardano has been trading inside for the last few months:

As is visible in the above graph, Cardano found a rebound near the bottom of the channel earlier in the month, although it didn’t actually go low enough to make a proper retest of it.

Since the recovery, the 3-day price of the cryptocurrency has returned to the midway line of the channel, situated at around $0.63. During the last few months, the coin has interacted several times with this line, with the latest instance being last month.

Back then, the asset initially found support at the level, but before long, the downtrend resumed and it fell below. With ADA once again retesting this line, it will be interesting to see what trend follows this time.

If Cardano ends up losing the line and a decline takes place, then the asset’s next destination could be the $0.54 mark, according to Martinez. Such a drop would mean a decrease of almost 17% from the current spot price.

Like the Descending Channel, there is also a pattern in TA known as the Ascending Channel. This one naturally occurs when the consolidation is toward the upside instead. As the analyst has pointed out in another X post, XRP has been trading inside such a channel in the short term.

“XRP is trading within an ascending triangle, with key resistance at $2.22,” notes Martinez. “A breakout could spark a move toward $2.40.”

ADA Price

At the time of writing, Cardano is trading around $0.65, up around 20% in the last week.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
