Highlights

  • Cardano's ADA price crashes 9.64% as Bitcoin plummets below $100K.
  • ADA's market structure remains bullish despite the recent drop.
  • Key support levels for ADA include $0.874, $0.819, and $0.741.

Cardano’s ADA crashed 9.64% on Tuesday as Bitcoin plummeted below $100K. This sell-off was not localized to BTC or ADA and has caused millions of dollars worth of positions to be liquidated. The price is struggling to retain around the $1 psychological level without any major impact to the bullish market structure.

Cardano hovers inside the $0.874 to $1.327 range, and the recent ascent failed to move past the range’s midpoint at $1.100. While the recent crypto market drop was brutal, even if ADA drops another 10% to 12%, its market structure will remain bullish, unlike other altcoins like XRP or SOL. We’re waiting for a flip of the range’s midpoint, which could happen as soon as Bitcoin pauses its descent.

The recent consolidation that began after the December 3 peak of $1.326 could likely be hinting at an end after the early January rally. While the recovery may take some time, investors must note that the altcoin looks bullish and ready to shoot higher.

While these barriers might support a downtre, only a decisive breakout above critical levels will confirm ADA’s bullish movement.
