The crypto market is showing its fangs again after experiencing heavy selling pressure in recent weeks. Three popular digital assets, namely Dogecoin, Cardano, and Chainlink, recorded significant price spikes as global investor sentiment recovered.
This increase was also driven by the Bitcoin and Ethereum rallies that broke through important psychological levels. Will this positive momentum continue and lead the crypto market towards a longer bullish trend?
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Dogecoin (DOGE) managed to hold the psychological level of $0.10 after experiencing sharp intraday selling pressure. The price of DOGE surged to $0.1038, recording a daily gain of 12.7% and signaling a return of buying interest in the market. Dogecoin’s trading volume also increased dramatically, with a 70% jump in the last 24 hours to reach $1.44 billion. The price consolidation that occurred in the range of $0.095 to $0.098 was previously an important accumulation area before DOGE finally broke the short-term resistance.
Analysts think that the $0.10 level is now crucial support for Dogecoin’s price movement in the near future. If DOGE is able to hold above this area, the opportunity to test the next resistance around $0.12 is wide open. However, if selling pressure increases again and DOGE drops below $0.10, a potential correction to the previous support area is very likely. Dogecoin’s positive momentum is also supported by improving market sentiment and increased speculative interest among retail traders.
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano (ADA) has recorded a price surge of up to 17% in the last 24 hours, breaking through the $0.305 level after previously being depressed in the $0.2546 area. This sharp rise comes after a February period of selling pressure, signaling a change in sentiment among market participants.

Cardano’s trading volume surged to $905 million, up 135.53% compared to the previous day, signaling an influx of new capital into the ADA ecosystem. In addition, Cardano’s derivatives activity also increased rapidly, with trading volume reaching 1.39 billion and open interest rising 31.32% to 565.77 million.
Market watchers noted accumulation by whale investors, which signals cautious optimism about Cardano’s long-term prospects. If ADA is able to hold above the $0.30 breakout level, the next resistance target is in the $0.33 range. However, failure to hold this area could trigger a correction back to $0.29 support. The surge in activity in the derivatives market also points to increased speculative interest and the potential for higher price volatility in the near term.
Chainlink (LINK)
Chainlink (LINK) also enjoyed the market rally with a price increase of 14.26% in the last 24 hours, trading at around $9.43 on Wednesday’s session. After experiencing prolonged selling pressure, LINK finally found a stable point at one of the major horizontal demand areas.

Analysts think that this price stabilization is an important foundation for further upside potential, especially if LINK is able to hold above the $9.40 level. If the positive momentum continues, the next resistance is in the $10 to $13 range.
However, LINK’s price movement pattern is still in a fairly wide downward trend, signaling a cautious attitude from investors in the derivatives market. If the price fails to hold above $9.40, the potential for a correction to $9 support is still wide open.
Improving market sentiment and increasing trading volume are the main catalysts for Chainlink’s price movement going forward. Market participants are now waiting for breakout confirmation to confirm a more solid bullish trend.
