ADA - Next Trade Setups to WatchADA’s been stuck in this sideways grind for a while, and the volume’s basically ghosting us. So, where’s it at, and where’s the next move? Let’s dig in.
ADA’s sitting at $0.6615 right now, trading below the yearly open at $0.8451 and the range’s sweet spot, the POC, at $0.7325. That tells me it’s leaning a bit bearish, but not exactly screaming panic, more like it’s just chilling in this 57 day range. It tapped the monthly open at $0.6328 recently, bounced a little, but without volume showing up, it’s like nobody’s ready to commit yet.
Key Levels
Resistance Zones (Short Opportunities)
1.) Range POC: $0.7325, this is the most traded price within the 57 day range, acting as a magnet for price. A rejection here could signal a short setup.
2.) Yearly Open ($0.8451): a psychological and structural level that could cap upside if momentum remains weak. Trading below this level keeps the yearly bias bearish. A break above with volume would flip the narrative.
Support Zones (Long Opportunities)
1.) Monthly Open: $0.6328, already saw a little bounce here with that swing failure move, perfect setup for a long trade if you were quick on the draw.
2.) Yearly Open 2024 + 21 Monthly EMA: $0.594 - $0.5928, strong confluence with the prior yearly open and a key moving average. This zone aligns closely with the swing low at $0.5801, forming a robust support cluster between $0.5801 - $0.594.
3.) 21 SMA: $0.53, a deeper support level if the above zone fails. This would indicate a more significant breakdown, but it’s a potential accumulation area for longer-term traders.
Market Structure Analysis
Bearish Bias Above Swing Low: Trading below the yearly open and POC suggests sellers are in control unless price reclaims $0.7325 with conviction.
Range-Bound Behaviour: The 57 day range indicates consolidation. Volume is the missing catalyst, watch for a spike to confirm direction.
Swing Low as Key Pivot: The $0.5801 level is critical. A hold here maintains the range; a break below shifts focus to $0.53 and signals capitulation.
High-Probability Trade Setups
Long Setups
1.) Long Setup #1 at Swing Low ($0.5801 - $0.594 Zone)
Entry Trigger: Look for a swing failure pattern (SFP) where price dips below $0.5801, reclaims it, and shows rejection of lower prices (e.g., a bullish candle with a wick below).
Stop Loss (SL): Place just below the swing low
Take Profit (TP): $0.70 (near-term resistance)
Stretch Target: $0.8451 (yearly open), though this requires stronger momentum.
Confirmation: Higher-than-average volume on the reclaim + bullish price action (e.g., engulfing candle).
2.) Long Setup #2: $0.4735 Sniper Entry
Entry Trigger: If ADA takes a bigger tumble, $0.4735 is your sniper’s nest, think of it as catching the knife with style. Could be a wick that snaps back.
This is a deeper, high-reward play. Price has to fall by a lot from here, but if it hits, the R:R is amazing, and it’s below most traders radar. Patience is the name of the game.
Short Setup
At POC ($0.7325) or Yearly Open ($0.8451)
Strategic Outlook
Current Stance: If not in a trade, the $0.5801 level is the highest-probability long setup due to confluence and R:R. The SFP at $0.6328 today was a missed opportunity, but a deeper pullback sets up an even better entry.
Breakout Watch: A decisive close above $0.7325 (POC) with volume shifts focus to $0.8451. Conversely, a break below $0.5801 targets $0.53.
Patience is Key: Low volume suggests waiting for a clear catalyst (e.g., news, BTC move) to drive ADA out of this range.
Wrapping It Up
The $0.5801 swing low long with SL below and TP at $0.7 - $0.8451 is the standout trade right now—low risk, high reward, and backed by confluence. Monitor volume closely, as it’s the linchpin for any breakout or reversal. If ADA holds this support and volume picks up, the retest of $0.8451 becomes plausible.
