“Potential buy signal on the 1D chart as it [is] trying to flip ~880 sats into support (Matching EMA200 on the 1D),” wrote Nico. “If [it] gets confirmed on candle close – and volume starts flowing in, then we may see some recovery toward previous High levels.”
With “previous highs,” the analyst referred to the levels that ADA tested earlier as resistances. A closer look into the ADABTC chart showed those price ceilings in the following successive order: 1,015, 1,102, 1,229, 1,389, 1,545, and 1,682 (all measured in sats).
Another market analyst, Stefan Bode, additionally mentioned ADA’s latest attempts to close above its 50-day moving average. He wrote in his Monday note:
“Once Cardano’s phase of weakness against Bitcoinis over, a phase of strength should follow. Today’s closing above the EMA50 should confirm its strength. Then a bull-runcould run towards new highs.”
ADA/BTC was trading at 972 sats at the time of this writing.
