Cardano ADA Targets $0.29 After Flag Breakout Attempt
Cardano (ADA)

bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Cardano (ADA) has consolidated within a flag formation for most of the year. Bulls attempted to break out on 22 August but failed, returning the price to its trading range. Buying activity intensified recently, with ADA rebounding from the 100-day EMA near $0.19 five days ago.
This momentum pushed gains over 10% in the last 24 hours before a retracement occurred. A successful breakout above the flag's upper bound targets the next resistance at $0.29. Derivatives data from Santiment shows six consecutive days of positive funding rates.
This indicates long positions are paying shorts to hold them, potentially aiding price action. Network volume rose exponentially above $747 million during the move. The Fully Diluted Valuation also climbed to approximately $9.95 billion. A volume-supported breakout could trigger aggressive price moves similar to past alignments.
