ADA/USD: Technical picture
On the daily chart, ADA/USD is moving within a sharp bullish trend. The RSI has flattened, though it is still on the overbought territory. The local support is created by a psychological $0.1500. Once it is broken, the sell-off may be extended to $0.1430 (the upper line of the daily Bollinger Band). The next support comes at $0.1386-$0.1350 area, which includes the upper boundary of the previous consolidation channel.
On the upside, a sustainable move above the intraday high of $0.1550 will take the coin to uncharted territory with the next resistance at $0.1600. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $0.1700.
