Cardano has declined since May 26 and will mark the fifth day of losses if today closes in the red. The drop caused ADA to drop below the 50-day SMA at $0.714, a key level that will determine whether ADA will extend its consolidation or fall further.

If the ADA price remains below the 50-day SMA, it indicates that the bulls may be racing to the exit. ADA might fall to $0.60, where buyers are likely to come in. A bounce off $0.60 could indicate potential range trading in the short term.
To show strength, bulls might need to push and sustain the ADA price over $0.74. ADA could rise to the overhead resistance of $0.826, which coincides with the 200-day SMA and is a crucial level to monitor. A break and close over $0.826 and then $0.86 could send ADA to $1.01.
