ADA Channel Support Remains Intact as Buyers Step In

Crypto analyst Jonathan Carter highlighted the importance of the ADA channel support accumulation zone. He noted that price remains within the lower boundary of a declining channel on the daily chart. Good buying interest is building up in this area.

Analysts contributed that the support zone has not been broken even after repeated tests. The entry of buyers into these levels has been constant. The capacity to retain this zone can define the future short-term movement in price. Analysts identified several upside targets. The first level to be monitored is close to $0.39. Other targets were found at $0.47, $0.54, and $0.61.

Analyst Matthew Dixon offered another technical perspective. He mentioned that Cardano has made a clean 5-wave rise up after a wider correction. This formation normally indicates an additional increase following a moderate decline.

Dixon also pointed out that previously bullish divergence was highly accurate in indicating the reversal. Prior to the recent bounce, the signal appeared, closely aligning with the price action. Traders are now looking at continuation on higher highs.
