While decreasing inside the wedge, the ADA price fell to a low of $0.296 on Nov. 21. Between Nov. 8 and 28, the Cardano price validated the support line of the wedge three times while the RSI generated bullish divergence. This is a bullish sign that bodes well for the future price.

A breakout from the wedge would be required for the Cardano price forecast to be bullish. Due to the proximity of the resistance line of the wedge with the $0.420 area would likely lead to a breakout from the latter. In that case, it would suggest that the Cardano price prediction is indeed bullish. 

Conversely, a daily close below the support line of the descending wedge would suggest that the trend is bearish instead.

Cardano Price Readies For Short-Term Bounce

Technical analysis from the six-hour time frame shows that ADA has reclaimed the support area with an average price of $0.31. It bounced off it over the past 24 hours. 

Besides the price action, the six-hour RSI is also bullish, since it has generated bullish divergence (green line).

If this leads to an upward movement, the Cardano price could increase towards the 0.5-0.618 Fib retracement resistance levels at $0.368-$0.385. 

The reaction once it gets there will determine the short-term Cardano price prediction. 

If, however the ADA price closes below the $0.310 area, it would mean that new lows are expected. This could also cause a breakdown from the long-term wedge outlined previously.
