Cardano, the 10th-largest cryptocurrency, extended its slide since the week's start, now entering its fourth day of dropping since Monday's high of $0.693.

Amid the drop, Cardano has completed a death cross on its short-term charts, specifically the hourly chart.

The hourly MA 50 has fallen below the hourly MA 200, completing a "death cross" on the Cardano USD hourly chart, reflecting selling pressure in the short term.

According to Ali, a crypto analyst, large Cardano holders took profits in the last three days as the price fell, with 100 million ADA sold by whales in 72 hours.

At press time, Cardano was trading down 5.36% in the last 24 hours to $0.611, in line with the ongoing broader market sell-off, and 4.6% weekly.

Cardano's next support is envisaged at $0.59 if the declines continue, and in the event of a relief rally, bulls might face resistance at $0.742 and $0.769.
