The daily session ranged between $0.2313 and $0.2415, with ADA up 1.59% from its opening price.<\/p>\n<p>The rebound followed a much larger retreat from the weekly high. TradingView\u2019s weekly chart recorded a high of $0.2824 and a low of $0.2238, leaving ADA near $0.2358 and down 9.2% against its weekly opening price.<\/p>\n<p>Measured from the weekly high, Cardano had lost approximately 16.5%. Its bounce from the weekly low amounted to about 5.4%, leaving the recovery well short of the preceding decline.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cardano\u2019s channel rejection puts $0.21 in focus<\/h2>\n<p>Analyst Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2107925748204081341\" target=\"_blank\">identified<\/a> a rejection at the upper boundary of an ascending channel on Cardano\u2019s daily chart in an Oct. 8 post. His analysis placed the channel\u2019s lower boundary near $0.21 and made a move toward that level conditional on the rejection holding.<\/p>\n<p>The channel illustration marked intermediate levels near $0.23 and $0.256, with the upper region around $0.29. ADA\u2019s subsequent move below $0.24 left it closer to the lower marked levels than to the area where the analyst identified the rejection.<\/p>\n<p>A decline from $0.2359 to $0.21 would amount to roughly 11%. Before reaching that level, ADA would encounter the recent weekly low at $0.2238, an observable reference from the latest sell-off.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse Olson also pointed to weakening daily momentum in an Oct. 9 post. He said Cardano had shown bearish divergence several days earlier and that a sell signal, together with a candle close below his trend dots, had preceded two targets being reached.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"\/>\n<p>Olson identified a lower yellow zone as a possible retest area. His warning and Martinez\u2019s channel analysis both described downside setups, although they used different chart tools and conditions.<\/p>\n<p>A recovery above $0.24 would reverse the immediate loss of that price level. TradingView\u2019s daily readings place another reference higher, near $0.2483, before ADA reaches the $0.256 region marked in Martinez\u2019s chart.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daily RSI slips below 50 as ADA loses its midpoint<\/h2>\n<p>TradingView\u2019s daily chart showed Cardano\u2019s relative strength index at 48.06, below the neutral 50 level.
