ADA/USD – Market Retraces From Weekend Surge

Key Support Levels: $1.87, $1.77, $1.68.
Key Resistance Levels: $2.00, $2.10, $2.20.

Despite dropping 6.5% today, ADA is still up 17% over the week. This is because it surged aggressively on Friday as it climbed from $1.85 to break $2.00 and hit $2.15. It continued on Saturday to reach as high as $2.28, where it finally rolled over.

On Monday, ADA dropped from $2.20 to hit $2.08, and it continued further yesterday as it fell beneath $2.00 to hit $1.90. Today, ADA spiked as low as $1.87, where it found support at a .382 Fib and has rebounded.

The market was extremely overbought prior to the rollover, and a retracement is always expected when the bulls become overextended like this.
