|- Cardano price has slid into a crucial support level after a 10% slide over the last two weeks.
- On-chain metric shows the so-called “Ethereum-killer” is very close to forming a local bottom.
- With bears cooling off, ADA could be ready for a quick recovery rally that pushes it close to $0.400.
Invalidation of the bullish thesis will occur if the altcoin flips the $0.342 support barrier into a resistance level.
Cardano price has shed a lot of weight over the last two weeks as the crypto markets succumbed to bearish pressure. While the long-term outlook remains murky, day traders are likely to get an opportunity to long ADA.

Cardano price ready to make a move
Cardano price dropped nearly 10% from $0.385 to $0.342 between May 7 and May 11. This drop was forecasted by our previous publication, which suggested that a local bottom could occur inside the bullish breaker, extending from $0.348 to $0.361.
As noted, Cardano price respected this zone perfectly and has recovered 4.30% at the time of this writing. With an ongoing pullback, traders have an opportunity to open long positions before ADA triggers a bullish move in less than twelve hours when the New York trading session kickstarts.
If this bullish development for Cardano price occurs, the targets include $0.375, $0.382 and $0.395. The last level is roughly 10% away from the current position where ADA currently trades.

Further adding credence to this bullish outlook for Cardano price is the 30-day Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) model. This on-chain metric is used to determine the average profit/loss of investors that purchased ADA over the past month.
Based on Santiment’s research, a value below -10% indicates that short-term holders are facing losses and are less likely to sell. More often than not, this is where long-term holders accumulate. Hence, any move below -10% is termed an “opportunity zone.”
As Cardano price slid lower, the 30-day MVRV signaled an “opportunity zone” or bottom formation, which is in line with the technical outlook. Therefore, a surge in buying pressure is likely, considering this zone has been intact since June 2022 and consistently produced accurate local bottoms.
ADA MVRV 30-day
While the big picture for Cardano price looks optimistic, a sudden spike in selling pressure that pushes ADA to flip the $0.345 support level into a hurdle will invite sustained selling. This move would invalidate the bullish thesis for the so-called “Ethereum-killer” and kick-start a 5.65% slide to $0.324.
