Cardano released its scaling solution Hydra and node v.8.0.0 over the past week, bringing governance action that facilitates the ADA blockchain. The releases and developments have acted as a bullish catalyst for Cardano, driving its social engagement and fueling a bullish thesis for ADA.
Where is ADA price headed next?
Cardano price is currently in an uptrend that started at the beginning of 2023. The altcoin trades below its three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at 10, 50 and 200-day. The three long-term EMAs act as immediate resistances for the altcoin at $0.3720, $0.3835, and $0.3956.
The resistance at $0.4050 is a key resistance level for Cardano that has acted as resistance for nearly four months.
