The selling pressure spread to the altcoin market as major coins like Ethereum and XRP dropped 8-10%, while Cardano and Dogecoin dropped around 12% in the last 24 hours.

ADA, the native token of the Cardano ecosystem, has seen a surge in volatility in the past two where the price resonates within $0.8 and $0.68 horizontal levels. With an intraday loss of 7.75%, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/cardano/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cardano price</a> plunged to $0.695 teasing the bottom support of the new range.
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 <a href="https://coingape.com/blog/will-cardano-ada-price-recover-to-1-soon/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ADA</a> price to initiate a directional move.&nbsp;

<a href="https://coingape.com/trending/dogecoin-price-whats-happening-with-dogecoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dogecoin (DOGE)</a> started as a meme but has grown into a widely recognized cryptocurrency, admired for its vibrant community and use in tipping and charitable donations.

<img decoding="async" src="https://s3.tradingview.com/snapshots/u/u4Djgajn.png" alt="BINANCE:DOGEUSDT Chart Image by sahilmahadik07">
However, the popular memecoin has witnessed heightened volatility in the past two weeks, evidenced by price consolidation between two converging trendlines. 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 <a href="https://coingape.com/elon-musk-eyes-to-open-dogecoin-doge-payments-for-tesla-cars/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DOGE</a> 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 <a href="https://coingape.com/price/dogecoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dogecoin price</a> to 0.27 high.&nbsp;
<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-takeaway-span">Takeaway</h2>
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.
