Cardano Price Pattern Points to Breakout Potential

According to an observation by Ssebi, Cardano’s ADA shows the token retesting an important boundary following a recent failed breakout attempt. The market structure forms a large descending channel where repeated lower highs and lows have dominated trading activity in recent sessions. The latest movement comes after a Sunday fakeout that briefly pushed the price above the upper channel limit. 

Following that event, ADA returned inside t he structure but has now revisited the same boundary again. This retest has brought renewed attention to the channel’s upper resistance, which has held firmly through multiple attempts. Trading activity has increased during the most recent breakout trial, with volume levels exceeding those recorded in previous sessions. This expansion in volume marks a change from the lighter activity observed earlier within the channel. 

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index remains near its midpoint, staying close to the neutral reading of 50. The indicator shows neither overbought nor oversold conditions during the latest move. Technical measurements based on the flagged structure outline a potential target near $1.20 if momentum extends beyond the resistance. The breakout level continues to attract market attention.
