Cardano Risks Further Decline as It Is Stuck Below $1.35 High

The price of Cardano (ADA) is in a downward correction. On December 31, the cryptocurrency fell below its moving averages.

In the last five days, buyers have been struggling to push the altcoin above the moving averages. Today, the uptrend got stuck below the moving averages. On December 27, the price of ADA rose to a high of $1.60, but buyers could not sustain the upward momentum above the recent high. 

The altcoin is trading in the overbought region of the market. On the upside, Cardano will regain bullish momentum if buyers break above the moving averages and resistance at $1.60. At press time, the altcoin is trading at $1.34. Cardano risks another decline if buyers are rejected at the recent high. The market will fall back to the previous low at $1.18.

Cardano indicator analysis

The ADA price is at the 46 level of the Relative Strength Index for the 14 period, which means that the altcoin is in the downward zone and below the 50 centre line.
