On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $1.30 and $1.35 levels. A clear break above the $1.35 zone could open the doors for a move towards the $1.40 and $1.45 levels. Any more gains could lead the price towards the $1.50 levels.

Dips Supported?

If cardano’s price fails to clear the $1.35 and $1.40 resistance levels, it could again correct lower. An initial support is near the $1.200 level.
