Summary built from the table The 1h, 4h and daily trends are all bearish. The 1h trend turned bearish with a close below 0.1921 at 19:00 UTC on 1 Nov, the 4h trend with a close below 0.2145 at 16:00 UTC on 22 Oct, and the daily trend with a close below 0.2367 on 8 Oct. The 1h and daily higher highs do not change those trends: a swing label only compares a high with the previous high, or a low with the previous low, and a trend changes only when a candle closes beyond the last swing. The nearest flip level is 0.1943 on the 1h chart, 1.62 percent from the last price; a 1h close above it would turn the 1h trend bullish.

How it is calculated: a swing high or low needs five candles on each side and is confirmed five candles later, and the trend changes only when a candle closes beyond the last swing, never on a wick. This is the same logic as the trend table on Finora’s chart images. More on reading market structure and invalidation levels, or compare the top 100 perpetuals in the market structure screener.
About Cardano
Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain launched in 2017 and led by Charles Hoskinson, one of Ethereum’s co-founders. Its consensus protocol, Ouroboros, came out of peer-reviewed academic research. The platform is named after the Italian mathematician Gerolamo Cardano, and its coin, ADA, after Ada Lovelace.
ADA pays fees and is staked through stake pools; holders delegate without locking their coins. The supply is capped at 45 billion ADA. Smart contracts arrived with the Alonzo upgrade in September 2021, and on-chain governance began with the Chang upgrade in 2024.
Cardano keeps balances in what it calls the extended UTXO model: like Bitcoin, it tracks unspent transaction outputs, and each output can also carry a script and data for smart contracts. Staking rewards are paid out every epoch, which lasts five days.
How to use this page
Start with the timeframe you actually trade, then look one step up. The “percent away” figure in the Trend flips on column is how far price was from each level when the table was calculated.
How Finora reads a chart explains how a read is built. Treat every number here as a note from the time printed next to it, then check the live chart before you act.
Educational content, not financial advice. The structure data is calculated automatically and can be wrong or out of date by the time you see it. Trading involves risk; you make your own decisions.
