Cardano Dips to $0.666: What's Next for ADA？

Cryptocurrencies began the weekend in the red, with Cardano (ADA), the 10th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, marking significant losses.

At the time of writing, ADA was down 4.08% in the last 24 hours to $0.677 following an earlier drop to $0.666, with intraday lows of $0.6567.

Cardano has declined since May 26 and will mark the fifth day of losses if today closes in the red. The drop caused ADA to drop below the 50-day SMA at $0.714, a key level that will determine whether ADA will extend its consolidation or fall further.

If the ADA price remains below the 50-day SMA, it indicates that the bulls may be racing to the exit. ADA might fall to $0.60, where buyers are likely to come in. A bounce off $0.60 could indicate potential range trading in the short term.

To show strength, bulls might need to push and sustain the ADA price over $0.74. ADA could rise to the overhead resistance of $0.826, which coincides with the 200-day SMA and is a crucial level to monitor. A break and close over $0.826 and then $0.86 could send ADA to $1.01.
