A forming Cardano Elliott Wave pattern on a lower timeframe continues to point to a potential rally, as price steadies around current levels.
Cardano (ADA) is indeed holding steady even as Bitcoin looks choppy. While the crypto leader has retraced slightly over the last 24 hours, ADA has risen by over 2%, outperforming all other assets in the top 11 by market cap. Still, there could be more in the pipeline for Cardano.
Key Points
- A forming Cardano Elliott Wave pattern on a lower timeframe continues to point to a potential rally, as price steadies around current levels.
- The structure consists of an initial bullish wave, a corrective second wave, and a final wave of price expansion to newer highs.
- The chart shows that wave (1) was a three-wave advance, while wave (2) was a single corrective wave.
- Two possible scenarios could play out in the second phase of wave (3) formation: one prompting a quick rebound, the other a steeper correction.
- Ultimately, Cardano could complete the Elliott Wave pattern, targeting a rally to $0.364.
Cardano Elliott Wave Rekindles Optimism
An analysis from “More Crypto Online” highlights a forming three-wave Elliott Wave pattern on the 1-hour chart. The structure consists of an initial bullish wave, a corrective second wave, and a third wave of price expansion to newer highs.
The chart shows that wave (1) was a three-wave advance. Wave A here started from the February 6 lows of $0.22 to $0.26. The short wave B forced a pullback to $0.24 the same day before wave C pushed ADA to $0.28, completing wave (1).
Meanwhile, the wave (2) was a single corrective wave, drawing Cardano from the $0.28 high to $0.25 on February 11. Now, the wave (3) is underway with wave A already completed. During this move, the coin rose from the wave (2) lows to a high of $0.30 on February 15.
Possible Scenarios for Wave B
The analyst identified two possible scenarios that could play out in the second phase of the wave (3) formation. Notably, this is already underway, with ADA pulling back from the February 15 high to its current price of $0.29.
According to the analyst, wave B can overshoot. During wave A, ADA rallied past the 1.38 Fibonacci extension, which is beyond the maximum threshold as per the technical exposition. Citing this, the market watcher noted that a wider wave B is very likely.
The commentary identified two scenarios. The first is a continued uptrend in a diagonal pattern, with Cardano completing wave (3) in three waves. The chart shows that this would cause the coin to bounce off the current macro support levels, initiating wave C.
In contrast, wave B could be extended, pushing ADA much lower. The chart shows possible retests of the 0.50 to 0.786 Fibonacci levels, which align with major supports between $0.25 and $0.23. Notably, which scenario materializes will depend on how Cardano reacts at the $0.26 support level.
Likely Cardano Targets
Ultimately, the analysis indicates that Cardano will complete the Elliott Wave pattern. The target for the three-wave pattern is $0.364, representing a 27% move from the current market price.
Still, he did not rule out the possibility of an extended wave-patterned move to higher prices. In the meantime, ADA consolidates around the current level, with no confirmation of its next move.
