Cardano slips 2.04% this week

Highlights

ADA remains under heavy selling pressure, trading below key moving averages and showing no bullish momentum signals.
Technical indicators reflect strong bearish sentiment, with momentum, trend strength, and sentiment metrics all suggesting further weakness ahead.
Expected price action is a sideways move within $0.24–$0.26 over the next week, with downside risk dominating unless $0.26 is reclaimed.

Leios upgrade plans and security partnerships drive sentiment this week

Input Output, the main builder for Cardano, reduced its funding request for future network upgrades to $46.8 million, emphasizing the upcoming Leios upgrade that aims to increase throughput above 1,000 transactions per second. The Cardano Foundation also spotlighted enhancements to security and trust using technical features from Bitcoin and introduced the 'Midnight' privacy-focused sidechain, supported by partnerships with Google Cloud. Ongoing research into quantum security and post-quantum upgrades further demonstrates ADA’s commitment to remaining technologically competitive.

Persistent bearish momentum as technicals remain firmly negative over the week

On the weekly chart, ADA remains decisively below all key moving averages, with the MA-20 at $0.293, MA-50 at $0.531, and MA-200 at $0.494, confirming medium- and long-term bearish momentum. Technical indicators are similarly downbeat: weekly MACD is strongly bearish, ADX shows persistent downside pressure, RSI sits at 32.54, and CCI at -67.4, all reflecting weak momentum. Stochastic RSI is overbought, presenting a rare potential for a relief bounce, but this is notably divergent from the otherwise negative momentum outlook. Bull/Bear Power remains negative and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral, adding no support for a reversal.

Sideways range likely as downside risk dominates weekly outlook

For the next 7 days, ADA is expected to trade sideways within a $0.24 to $0.26 range, reflecting recent volatility of 5.35%. The likelihood of significant upward movement is very low, with less than a 20% chance according to weekly indicators, and most signals suggest further downside risk if $0.24 support is broken. A bullish scenario would require a close above $0.26, potentially leading to a test of the MA-20 dynamic resistance. If bearish pressure continues, a break below $0.24 could expose ADA to new lows.

Earlier, analysts noted that Cardano remained under persistent bearish momentum despite ongoing ecosystem and adoption developments. The latest technical signals and project updates reinforce the subdued outlook, with traders advised to monitor the $0.24 support as a potential trigger for renewed downside volatility.
