The selling pressure spread to the altcoin market as major coins like Ethereum and XRP dropped 8-10%, while Cardano and Dogecoin dropped around 12% in the last 24 hours.

Notably, 167,000 traders were affected, and the largest single liquidation order, valued at $13.3002 million, occurred on OKX in a BTC-USDT swap.

ADA, the native token of the Cardano ecosystem, has seen a surge in volatility in the past two where the price resonates within $0.8 and $0.68 horizontal levels. With an intraday loss of 7.75%, the Cardano price plunged to $0.695 teasing the bottom support of the new range.

By press time, the Cardano coin stands at a market cap of $24.5 Billion while the trading price wavers at $1.7 billion. A breakout beyond the horizontal range will be a key indication for ADA price to initiate a directional move.

3)Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin (DOGE) started as a meme but has grown into a widely recognized cryptocurrency, admired for its vibrant community and use in tipping and charitable donations. Amid the recent meme rally in the crypto market, the DOGE price surged from a late February low of $0.081 to its recent high of $0.206, registering 151% growth.

However, the popular memecoin has witnessed heightened volatility in the past two weeks, evidenced by price consolidation between two converging trendlines. The Dogecoin’s current market cap stands at $24.47, and with an intraday price drop of 6.8%, the sellers teased a breakdown below the lower trendline.

Currently trading at $0.156, the DOGE price breakdown from the triangle will plunge the asset to immediate support of $0.147, followed by $0.13.

However, in theory, the pennant pattern formed from these converging trendlines hints at a higher potential for uptrend continuation, which may uplift the Dogecoin price to 0.27 high. 

Takeaway

After an aggressive recovery trend, the Bitcoin price is likely witnessing a post-correction, which provides buyers an opportunity to recuperate their strength. With the overall trend strongly bullish this retracement may offer a suitable dip opportunity to potential buyers.
