The retracement from mid-February saw ADA depreciate by 28%, dropping to $0.30. But the low price saw increased demand, tipping bulls for a recovery. Price action oscillated between $0.3236 – $0.3578 before breaking above the range after BTC zoomed to the $28K area. 

Bears could sink ADA to retest the $0.3578 support. But a close below the support could attract a more aggressive price dump that could push ADA towards the lower support at $0.3236, especially if BTC drops below $28K. 

But bulls could gain leverage if ADA closes above the price range upper level of $0.3876. Such an upswing could push the price toward $0.4056 or the overhead resistance level of $0.4201. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) faced rejection below the 60-mark and moved sideways after retreating from the oversold zone. It shows buying pressure eased. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) moved south, showing bears had more influence in the market.
