By press time, the Cardano coin stands at a market cap of $24.5 Billion while the trading price wavers at $1.7 billion. A breakout beyond the horizontal range will be a key indication for ADA price to initiate a directional move.
3)Dogecoin (DOGE)
Dogecoin (DOGE) started as a meme but has grown into a widely recognized cryptocurrency, admired for its vibrant community and use in tipping and charitable donations. Amid the recent meme rally in the crypto market, the DOGE price surged from a late February low of $0.081 to its recent high of $0.206, registering 151% growth.

The Dogecoin’s current market cap stands at $24.47, and with an intraday price drop of 6.8%, the sellers teased a breakdown below the lower trendline.
Currently trading at $0.156, the DOGE price breakdown from the triangle will plunge the asset to immediate support of $0.147, followed by $0.13.
However, in theory, the pennant pattern formed from these converging trendlines hints at a higher potential for uptrend continuation, which may uplift the Dogecoin price to 0.27 high.
Takeaway
After an aggressive recovery trend, the Bitcoin price is likely witnessing a post-correction, which provides buyers an opportunity to recuperate their strength. With the overall trend strongly bullish this retracement may offer a suitable dip opportunity to potential buyers.
