Cardano price could fall by 20 percent despite "Vasil" hard fork



 Cardano ( ADA ) declined on July 21 amid increasing selling pressure around its fiercest resistance levels in 2022 due to the large planned hard fork.


ADA price could drop 20 percent by early August

ADA was down 5 percent on the day at $0.476. This drop came a day after the brief break above the 50-day EMA (red line on the chart) at $0.50.


The 50-day EMA has acted as resistance at ADA since October 2021. 

Additionally, resistance at the upper trendline of a broader descending channel reinforced selling sentiment around the 50-day EMA. In early June, the same set of resistances triggered a 35 percent decline in price toward the channel's lower trendline.


Therefore, there is a risk that another correction in ADA could take the price down towards $0.384 by July or early August. That would represent a drop of about 20 percent from the July 21 price.


2018 fractal: ADA rate at $0.20

However, one analysis suggests ADA could drop even lower than $0.384.


A bearish ADA forecast from TradingShot compares the ongoing correction to a 2018 correction as seen in the chart below.

In the 2018 chart above, ADA has been undergoing multiple declines near its 50-day EMA (orange line) while continuing to trend lower in a descending channel. The token’s downtrend ended after a nearly 93 percent correction from its local peak.


"Looking at the 1D RSI, we appear to be on the third (3) and final leg below the dip," said TradingShot . In addition it said:


“So, if ADA owners want to avoid that, price needs to break out of the 1D MA50 and hold above it for at least a week or there could be a 93% drop to $0.200.”

When is the hard fork coming?

This latest ADA correction comes just days before the Cardano hard fork.


The hard fork called " Vasil " was supposed to take place in June, but was postponed to the last week of July due to several bugs . Still, as of July 21, Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK), the company behind the Cardano blockchain, has yet to announce an exact date for the hard fork.


Vasil is expected to bring significant performance improvements to the Cardano blockchain. These include faster block generation and higher transaction speeds. The upgrade could boost ADA adoption due to improved network efficiency.


But Cardano has historically seen sharp corrections following most network upgrades. This is due to the " buy the rumor, sell the news " principle that has become established in the market.

In the Alonzo blockchain upgrade in September 2021, ADA has partially surged over 200 percent to a record high of 3.16 percent pre-launch. After the upgrade, however, Cardano fell by over 85 percent. 


ADA is up just 25 percent after the token bottomed at $0.384 on May 10. This suggests that Vasil has moved the market little.


But not everyone is convinced. For example, analyst Lark Davis believes that if the token can hold the 50-day EMA as support, it will break out strongly after the hard fork.

Until then, ADA will likely continue to be under "sell the news" pressure. This is further compounded by the ongoing macroeconomic risks and their negative impact on the crypto markets.

Not a bear market: According to the analyst, the current BTC decline is the same as in previous Bitcoin cycles

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022. Bitcoin in 2021: Nothing to see here Sentiment has also taken a hit, falling 40 percent from November's all-time high of $69,000. There is still “extreme fear” in the bitcoin and altcoin market. TechDev, known for his bullish views on Bitcoin, sees no reason to worry. He analyzed the new wallet addresses in relation to course behavior and shows here that the scenario from last year was by no means an isolated case. Back then, the number of new addresses made lower highs while the price made higher highs. "In 4 of the 6 corrections, there was divergence with price ma...

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...
