Since hitting its ATH, Cardano (ADA) has downturned and practically swayed below its 20-50 EMA. The decline proved to be alarming for the bulls as they failed to defend the critical $0.94-mark.
Assuming the willingness of the bulls to keep a foothold on the 13-month-long support near the $0.843-$0.824 range, ADA should aim for near-term revival. While the price seemed skewed towards the ‘cheaper’ side of the Bollinger Bands, ADA positioned itself to test its 20 EMA (red) before a slight pullback to its long-term support.
At press time, the altcoin was trading at $0.835.

ADA formed a six-month-long descending channel (reversal pattern, yellow) while the alt was on a steep downtrend. Furthermore, it has lost over 72% of its value since its ATH and formed two bearish flags over the last two months.
Consequently, it fell towards its 9-month low on 24 February while the buyers stepped in to defend the $0.82-level. Interestingly, this level of support has stood as a testing floor for nearly 13 months. In the last two days, the bearish flag breakdown kept testing this support level while the bulls rejected lower prices.
From here on, a test of the $0.82-level would be likely before ADA revives itself to test its seven-week trendline resistance (white, dashed). A close above the $0.9-level would be vital to open recovery gates to exit its steep near-term downtrend. Should the bulls dwindle, a close below the lower trendline of the long-term down-channel could fuel a fallout.
Rationale

The RSI favoured the bears after it lost the 38-point level. Also, for the past 12 days, the price action has been testing the $0.843-level while the RSI witnessed higher troughs. This reading reaffirmed a recovery possibility from its immediate support range.
Also, the gap between the DMI lines seemed overstretched. This justified near-term bearish movements before the distance between the lines tighten.
Conclusion
Considering the confluence between the higher troughs of the RSI and the overstretched position of its EMAs and DMI, a revival towards $0.9 seems likely in the days to come.
Moreover, traders/investors should keep a close eye on Bitcoin’s movement as ADA shares a 77% 30-Day correlation with the king coin.
