CARDANO (ADA)
Cardano price (ADA) starts the week with negative signals flashing as bears have pushed it lower during the New York session. The chart suggests that bulls are beginning to lose faith in the relief rally which occurred based on fundamentals. Bears managed to print an up bar on Sunday’s late-night Japan session, but unfortunately, the bullish engulfing candle has some mixed signals attached to it on the 12-hour chart. The bullish engulfing support at $0.7761, which is the lowest low Cardano price traded at all month. The bears flexed their power on ADA price, establishing a down bar during the New York session.

Towards the end of the week, Cardano’s price was not only on track to close its green/white weekly candlestick in six weeks, but ADA may close the weekly candlestick as a Bullish Engulfing candlestick.
Cardano’s price is out of its range-bound movement as it breached the upper limit on March 18. This uptrend signals that ADA is bound for more gains in the near future. Investors can expect Cardano’s price to retest the $1 psychological level after a 12% ascent from the current position of $0.901. A resurgence of buying pressure around this level is necessary for ADA to flip the $1 hurdle in a support level and make its way to the next target at $1.20.
