Cardano Stays Under Structural Pressure as Sellers Defend the Trend

Cardano is still trading inside a bearish structure, and the latest rebound attempt has not changed the broader picture.

Selling pressure remains the dominant force after ADA broke down from a compression range and failed to reclaim key levels.

At the time of writing, ADA is trading around $0.2643, based on the latest chart data.

GainMuse: ADA Remains Trapped Below Descending Resistance

In GainMuse’s latest breakdown, the key point is structural: ADA remains stuck beneath a well-defined descending resistance line, and the market has not shown enough follow-through to turn the trend. The chart frames the recent move as a continuation setup, not a recovery base.

The breakdown from the compression structure is important because it suggests the market resolved lower after an extended period of tightening. The bounce that followed stalled quickly, reinforcing the idea that previous support has flipped into resistance. As long as price stays below the falling trendline, the structure continues to favor downside continuation toward lower support zones.

What the Price Action Is Signaling

The current sequence still reflects lower highs and weak rebounds, which is typical when sellers remain in control. Even though the market attempted to stabilize after the sharp drop, the recovery has not meaningfully repaired the structure. That keeps ADA vulnerable to another leg down if support gives way.

This is also where trader psychology matters. In downtrends like this, rallies often fail not because buyers disappear entirely, but because every bounce becomes an exit point for trapped holders, adding supply into resistance.

Circle and Tether Control Nearly 85% of the Stablecoin Market

Key Levels to Watch

  • Immediate resistance: $0.27–$0.28
    This is the first area where recent rebounds have struggled to extend. Price needs to reclaim and hold above it to reduce short-term pressure.
  • Structural resistance: $0.30–$0.31
    This zone aligns with the descending resistance line GainMuse highlights. A sustained move above it would be the first real sign that the downtrend is weakening.
  • Near-term support: $0.25
    This is the recent capitulation low on the chart. Losing it would likely reopen downside momentum.
  • Lower support zone: $0.23–$0.24
    If the market breaks down again, this becomes the next visible support pocket where bids may try to step in.

Bottom Line

GainMuse’s read is straightforward: ADA is still under structural pressure, and the trend remains bearish while price trades below descending resistance. Until ADA can reclaim the falling trendline and hold above prior support-turned-resistance, the market is signaling continuation risk rather than a sustainable recovery.

Jump’s Firedancer Team Proposes Removing Solana Block Limit After Alpenglow Upgrade

PANews reported on September 29th that according to The Block, Jump Crypto's Firedancer team is building a high-performance client for Solana. Their SIMD-0370 proposal proposes removing the current fixed limit of 60 million CUs per block (a previous proposal had raised this limit to 100 million) after Solana's major Alpenglow upgrade, scheduled for testing later this year. Without a fixed limit, block size would adjust based on the transaction volume accommodated by high-performance validators, while weaker validators would automatically abstain from voting on oversized blocks by skipping the voting mechanism. The proposal argues that removing the limit would encourage well-funded block producers to upgrade their hardware and add more transactions to increase revenue, incentivizing others to follow suit, creating a "flywheel effect" and increasing the average capacity of validator clients. Roger Wattenhofer, head of research at Anza and a driving force behind Solana's Alpenglow upgrade, supports removing the limit but also expresses concerns about potential centralization and network stability risks. He stated that these issues are solvable and that he has been a staunch supporter of removing the limit.
