Dogecoin's recent performance has been underwhelming, marked by increasing sell-off pressure and concerning technical indicators that threaten its market position. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) is rapidly closing the gap in market capitalization, hinting at a potential ranking shift.

Dogecoin's price has remained stubbornly around $0.1733, trapped in a bearish trend. This bearish pattern has prevented it from overcoming crucial resistance levels. A significant factor contributing to this decline is the formation of a death cross—a bearish technical indicator signaling sustained weakness—where the 50-day moving average has fallen below the 200-day moving average.

Bullish momentum remains elusive as DOGE is squeezed between key support and resistance levels. Without a rapid surge in momentum, further price drops below $0.16 are increasingly likely.

In contrast to Dogecoin's struggles, Cardano, currently trading near $0.72, exhibits a more positive trajectory. While ADA has also encountered resistance, it has demonstrated resilience by holding crucial support levels. The overall price action suggests Cardano retains strong long-term bullish potential and a more robust structural foundation. Importantly, ADA is nearing Dogecoin in market capitalization, with a minimal difference in total valuation.

Dogecoin currently boasts a market capitalization of approximately $25.72 billion, while Cardano closely trails at $25.41 billion. Continued outperformance by ADA could soon see it reclaim its position as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency. For Dogecoin to maintain its ranking, it requires a decisive breakthrough of key technical resistance and an influx of new investment.

However, if Cardano's upward trend persists, its surpassing of Dogecoin in market ranking seems imminent. The competition between DOGE and ADA is intensifying, and current market dynamics suggest a potential ranking reversal in the near future. Read original article on U.Today
