Since hitting its ATH, Cardano (ADA) has fallen and has practically fallen below its 20-50 EMA. The drop proved worrisome for the bulls as they failed to defend the critical $0.94.
Assuming the bulls’ willingness to hold a foothold on the 13-month support near the $0.843 – $0.824 range, ADA should aim for a near-term rebound. While the price seemed skewed toward the ‘cheaper’ side of the Bollinger Bands, ADA positioned itself to test its 20 EMA (red) before making a slight pull back to its long-term support.
As of going to press, the altcoin was trading at $0.835.

ADA formed a six-month bearish channel (reversal pattern, yellow) while the alt was in a steep downtrend. In addition, it has lost more than 72% of its value since the ATH and has formed two bearish flags in the past two months.
Consequently, on February 24, it fell to a 9-month low as buyers stepped in to defend the $0.82 level. Interestingly, this support level has stood as a test floor for almost 13 months. Over the past two days, the bearish flag breakdown continued to test this support level as the bulls rejected lower prices.
From here on, a test of the $0.82 level would be likely before ADA revives itself to test its seven-week trendline resistance (white, dashed). A close above the $0.9 level would be vital to open recovery gates to exit the steep downtrend in the near term. Should the bulls decline, a close below the lower trendline of the long-term down channel could cause a fallout.

The RSI favored the bears after it lost the 38 point level. Also, price action has been testing the $0.843 level for the past 12 days as the RSI witnessed higher declines. This reading reaffirmed a recovery opportunity from the immediate support range.
Also, the gap between the DMI lines seemed congested. This justified short-term bearish moves before the distance between the lines narrowed.
Conclusion
Given the confluence between the higher dips in the RSI and the overloaded position of its EMAs and DMI, a rally towards $0.9 seems likely in the coming days.
Additionally, traders/investors should keep a close eye on Bitcoin’s movement as ADA shares a 77% 30-day correlation with the king’s coin.
