Cardano is back at a point where things can go either way, and right now, one level is doing all the talking. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez points to $0.243 as the line that matters most. This zone has acted as a turning point in the past, either sending ADA higher or pushing it into deeper declines.Advertisement

If buyers manage to hold this level, a bounce toward $0.30 is possible. But if it slips below on a daily close, it could open the door to a much deeper drop, with levels near $0.10 coming back into play.

Where ADA Stands Now

Cardano is currently trading around $0.240, slightly down over the past day. It’s sitting just under that critical level, which makes the next move important.

Trading volume remains active at around $500 million in 24 hours, showing there’s still strong participation. The circulating supply stands above 36 billion ADA, with a max supply of 45 billion.

However, zooming out reveals that ADA is still far below its all-time high of $3.10, though it has seen a huge recovery from its early lows.

What the Charts Are Saying

The broader trend still leans downward. ADA is trading below its 50-day and 200-day averages, and recent price action hasn’t managed to break back above them.

Short-term charts show weakness too, with multiple moving averages crossing downward. Indicators like RSI sit in neutral territory, while MACD is slightly below zero, showing there’s still some selling pressure around.

At the same time, market activity hasn’t dried up, which means traders are still engaged at these levels.

What Happens Next?

Everything now comes down to how ADA reacts around $0.243.

If it manages to hold and move back above nearby resistance levels, a short-term recovery could follow. But if it continues to slip, the downside could extend further.

For now, Cardano is sitting right at a point where the next move could shape what comes next.
