Cardano breaks critical level as analyst warns of 11% drop

As a result of this drop, Cardano price confirmed a break of its multi-week support floor at $0.245, as highlighted by Martinez, who noted this level had held as a reliable bounce zone throughout the prior two months.​ Martinez’s bearish thesis will only be invalidated if ADA price reclaims $0.269 as support, the threshold identified by trading analyst Crypto Patel .
