It has moved from $1.0196 in August to $0.6330 today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This crash has coincided with the general weakness in the crypto market. It dropped below the critical support level at $0.6858 on Oct. 10 and then retested it. A break-and-retest is a common bearish continuation sign.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Worse, the 50-day and 200-day moving averages are about to cross each other. Such a crossover would be a death cross, one of the riskiest patterns in technical analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The Supertrend indicator has turned red, while the Relative Strength Index and the Percentage Price Oscillator have all pointed downwards.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardano price has also formed a bearish pennant pattern, consisting of a vertical line and a triangle. Therefore, all these patterns point to more downside, potentially to the year-to-date low of $0.5085. This target is about 20% below the current level.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, a move above the 200-day EMA at $0.80 will invalidate the bearish ADA price forecast.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ADA price chart | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cardano ecosystem woes continue<\/h2>\n<p>Cardano token has remained under pressure amid the ongoing woes in its ecosystem. Data compiled by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/chain\/cardano\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">DeFi Llama <\/a>shows that its decentralized finance ecosystem is struggling. Its total value locked has plunged by 20% in the last 30 days to $291 million.<\/p>\n<p>Most of these assets are in a handful of protocols, including Liqwid, Minswap, Indigo, and Splash Protocol. Its TVL is much lower than that of other similar layer-1 networks, such as Solana, BSC, and Sui.<\/p>\n<p>Cardano\u2019s decentralized exchange ecosystem is also struggling. Its total volume over the last 24 hours was just $1.53 million, a tiny figure compared to Ethereum and Solana, which handled over $4.17 billion and $4.10 billion, respectively, in the same period.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cardano is also a minor player in the growing stablecoin industry. Its stablecoin market capitalization stands at just $36 million, a tiny amount in a sector with over $300 billion in assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These metrics explain why Cardano has struggled as Charles Hoskinson and his team continue building Hydra and Midnight solutions.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardano price has crashed into a bear market this month, as it fell by ~40% from its highest point in August.\u00a0 Summary Cardano price has plunged into a bear market&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14322"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14323,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14322\/revisions\/14323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
