Cardano (ADA) Surges 8% as Bulls Push for Breakout

Cardano (ADA) is showing signs of life despite dropping 3% in the past 24 hours as traders weigh the possibility of a broader recovery. Technical indicators like BBTrend and DMI are flashing mixed signals, hinting that momentum may be fading after a brief surge.

ADA’s BBTrend has flipped into negative territory, while its DMI suggests bulls are gaining ground but haven’t fully taken control. With ADA hovering just above key support levels, the next few sessions will be crucial in determining whether this rally has legs or if another correction is around the corner.

ADA BBTrend Is Fading After Reaching Levels Above 5 Yesterday

Cardano’s BBTrend indicator has flipped into negative territory, currently sitting at -0.02 after reaching a positive peak of 5.28 just a day earlier.

This sharp reversal highlights a potential shift in market sentiment, suggesting that bullish momentum may be losing strength.

The abrupt drop adds to growing concerns among ADA holders, especially with the broader altcoin market showing signs of weakness.

The BBTrend (Bull and Bear Trend) indicator measures the strength and direction of a price trend. Values above +1 typically indicate a strong bullish trend, while readings below -1 signal a strong bearish trend.

A value near zero, like the current -0.02, suggests indecision or a possible trend reversal.

For Cardano, this neutral-to-negative reading could mean that upward momentum is fading, increasing the risk of further downside if selling pressure builds in the coming sessions.

Cardano DMI Shows Buyers Are Almost Taking Control

Cardano’s DMI (Directional Movement Index) chart shows that its ADX, which measures trend strength, has dropped to 34.29 from 43.41 yesterday.

While this indicates that the current trend is weakening, the ADX is still well above the key 25 threshold, meaning the market remains in a strong directional move.

The shift suggests that although momentum is cooling, the currently bearish trend hasn’t lost control just yet.

The ADX is part of the DMI system, which includes the +DI (positive directional index) and -DI (negative directional index).

The +DI has climbed from 4.68 to 19.19, showing growing bullish interest, while the -DI has sharply dropped from 44.92 to 22.18. This narrowing gap hints at a potential trend reversal or at least a slowing of bearish momentum.

However, since -DI is still slightly above +DI and ADX remains elevated, ADA is technically still in a downtrend — though bulls may be starting to regain some ground.

Is Cardano Getting Ready For A Recovery?

Cardano price is currently attempting a recovery after dipping below the $0.52 mark, a key support level in recent weeks. If buyers manage to confirm their strength and sustain upward momentum, ADA could first test resistance at $0.629.

A successful breakout above that could open the path toward $0.70, and if bullish pressure continues, a further rally to $0.77 may be on the table — levels not seen since early 2024.

However, if ADA fails to hold its current ground and bearish momentum returns, the token risks sliding back below $0.52.

A move toward $0.51 would be the first critical test, and losing that level could push Cardano below the $0.50 threshold for the first time since November 2024.
