More importantly, there was a break below a major bullish trend line with support at $0.2900 on the hourly chart of the ADA/USD pair. The pair settled below $0.3000 and the 100 hourly SMA. However, a major support zone around $0.2700 came into the picture and prevented further declines. A low was formed at $0.2719 before the price got stable. It recovered and tested the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.3203 high to $0.2719 low. However, the price is facing a major barrier near the broken support at $0.2900 and the 100 hourly SMA.
