The analytics firm Santiment has revealed that Cardano (ADA) currently shows a slightly better buying opportunity than the other top coins.

Cardano May Be Showing A Good Buying Opportunity According To RSI

In a new post on X, Santiment discussed how the top assets in the cryptocurrency sector have been performing regarding the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

The RSI here refers to a technical analysis (TA) indicator that tracks the velocity and magnitude of recent changes in any given commodity’s price.

This momentum oscillator is generally used to judge whether an asset is overvalued or undervalued right now. The indicator displays its value on a scale that runs from zero to one hundred.

When the RSI is above 70, the corresponding asset may be considered overbought and due for correction. On the other hand, the metric being below 30 implies potential oversold status, with a probable price rebound.

Now, here is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in the 1-day RSI for some of the top cryptocurrencies by market cap:

As the above graph shows, Cardano currently has the lowest 1-day RSI value out of these top cryptocurrencies at around 32.4. Although the asset isn’t yet inside the actual underpriced zone, this value that’s close enough could still suggest that ADA is providing a good entry point right now.

As Santiment points out, most of the top assets appear to provide a slight buying opportunity. Shiba Inu (SHIB) is currently the lowest one next to ADA, with an RSI value of 38.4.

Both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have prices slightly undervalued to a similar degree, as their RSI values are around the 41 mark. Dogecoin (DOGE) is more or less neutral at the moment, as the metric is just under 50 for the memecoin.

Toncoin (TON) appears to be the riskiest buyout of these top assets if RSI is anything to go by, as the metric stands at 55.1 currently (note that the chart has wrongly marked TON as ETH, as Santiment has admitted in a reply to a user under the post). Nonetheless, this value is still quite close to the neutral level of 50.

It now remains to be seen how the Cardano price develops from here, given that the RSI has flagged it as perhaps the most undervalued of the top coins.

ADA Price

Cardano hasn’t been able to recover from last month’s crash so far. All attempts at a surge have failed, with the coin slumping back to consolidation around the current $0.44 level.

Keshav Verma

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
