An analyst has pointed out how Cardano is currently breaking out of a Triangle pattern, a signal that could be bullish for ADA’s price.

Cardano Has Surged Beyond Triangle Resistance Line

In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a technical analysis (TA) pattern forming in the hourly price of Cardano. The pattern in question is a Triangle, which forms when an asset consolidates between two converging trendlines.

The upper trendline is likely to act as a source of resistance in the future, while the lower one can provide support. Just like in many other TA consolidation patterns, a break beyond either of these lines can imply a continuation of the trend in that direction.

The trendlines being convergent means that as the price travels inside this type of consolidation channel, its range gets progressively narrower, until it compresses down to a point.

There are a few different types of Triangles in TA. The most popular variants include the Ascending, Descending, and Symmetrical Triangles. In the context of the current topic, the relevant Triangle is closest to the third of these. In this pattern, trendlines converge with each other at a roughly equal and opposite slope toward a midpoint.

Below is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the Triangle that Cardano was trading inside until the past day.

As is visible in the graph, Cardano had been moving inside this Triangle for almost three weeks, before a break arrived in the past day. Just prior to the break, the coin had nearly approached the apex of the triangle, meaning its consolidation had turned very tight.

Generally, as an asset’s range becomes narrower, a breakout becomes more likely. Yesterday, before ADA found its break, the analyst had shared the same chart for the Triangle, noting the stage was set for a move.

Martinez had noted that this move could potentially be a swing to equal to 27%, based on the height of the Triangle from the lowest price bottom. The question was which direction the breakout might occur in.

In Symmetrical Triangles, a breakout is equally likely in both directions. The Triangle that Cardano had been following wasn’t a perfect Symmetrical Triangle, though, as it had a slight ascending bias to it. This means that a break toward the upside may have been more probable, although only slightly.

This slight advantage in likelihood seems to have worked out for ADA this time, as its price has now witnessed a surge above the upper resistance line. It now remains to be seen whether this move would grow into a 27% one that the Triangle’s height hints at or not.

ADA Price

At the time of writing, Cardano is floating around $0.64, up more than 4% in the last seven days.

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.
