ADA might have dropped 6.5% today, but the coin is still up by a substantial 17% on the week. Against bitcoin, it fell from Sunday’s high around 4765 SAT to reach the current 4370 SAT level.

ADA/USD – Market Retraces From Weekend Surge

Key Support Levels: $1.87, $1.77, $1.68.
Key Resistance Levels: $2.00, $2.10, $2.20.

Despite dropping 6.5% today, ADA is still up 17% over the week. This is because it surged aggressively on Friday as it climbed from $1.85 to break $2.00 and hit $2.15. It continued on Saturday to reach as high as $2.28, where it finally rolled over.

On Monday, ADA dropped from $2.20 to hit $2.08, and it continued further yesterday as it fell beneath $2.00 to hit $1.90. Today, ADA spiked as low as $1.87, where it found support at a .382 Fib and has rebounded.

The market was extremely overbought prior to the rollover, and a retracement is always expected when the bulls become overextended like this.

ADA-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first resistance now lies at $2.00. This is followed by $2.10, $2.20 (bearish .786 Fib), $2.28, and $2.33 (bearish .886 Fib).

On the other side, the first strong support lies at $1.87 (.382 Fib). This is followed by $1.77 (.5 Fib), $1.68 (.618 Fib), and $1.50 (100-day MA).

As mentioned, the RSI was in extremely overbought conditions before this week’s retracement. The RSI has now returned to sustainable bullish levels as it sits beneath the overbought threshold. The bulls are still in charge and are primed to start another bull leg higher.
