Cardano price action has continued to trade in an increasingly more bearish price action structure over the past weeks after the previous swing high was set around $1.50 at the beginning of July. Since then ADA/USD has retraced by more than 30 percent until support was found just above the $1 mark again.

Therefore, we can see that bears are not yet ready to break further lows and another test of upside is required. This resulted in a sharp rally higher over the middle of this week until the $1.2 mark was retested. 

Further, ADA/USD moved sideways over the last 24 hours to establish a base from which to move lower later today. Since further upside has already been rejected several times, we can assume that Cardano will start trading lower again over the weekend and attempt another move past the $1 support mark.

Cardano Price Analysis: Conclusion 

Cardano price analysis indicates bearish momentum to follow later today as a lower high has been set over the last 24 hours around the $1.20 resistance. Therefore, we expect ADA/USD to see further downside over the weekend as bears want to retest the $1 mark again.
