Despite the integration of the SPAR payment, the price of ADA stands at $0.27
Cardano (ADA) now accepts direct wallet payments at 137 Swiss Spar stores. Despite retail adoption, the ADA price has stagnated at around $0.272. Key levels to watch are $0.28 resistance and $0.26 support.
The value of Cardano's ADA token has remained flat even after 137 SPAR supermarkets across Switzerland announced that they accepted Cardano (ADA) as a payment method.
The integration, powered by a payment system that connects the Cardanone blockchain to everyday retail checks, will allow SPAR customers to pay directly from their wallets without having to convert to traditional currency.
You can now pay with $ADA at 137 SPAR stores across Switzerland.

The Cardano ADA token remains inactive
This move marks a significant step toward mainstream adoption of the ADA.
For many cryptocurrencies, everyday retail use has been a distant goal, and Cardano now joins a small group of digital assets used in physical stores.
However, despite this positive development, the performance of the ADA market has been relatively stagnant.
At press time, the cryptocurrency was trading at around $0.272, down 1.3% in the last 24 hours.
Technical analysis of Cardano price
From a technical perspective, the speed indicators give a mixed picture.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is recovering from oversold territory but remains below neutral, suggesting that buyers have yet to assert their dominance.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator readings are flat, indicating the absence of strong bullish or bearish momentum.
Derivatives markets indicate a cautious stance, with long-to-short ratios below one and futures participation declining, suggesting that traders are leaning more defensively than aggressively buying.
Movement on the chain indicates that more coins are circulating, a sign that holders may be redistributing or taking profits.
Combined with modest daily losses, this data suggests that ADA's recent rebound is not convincing enough to trigger a major market rally.
ADA price forecast
Cardano's integration into the 137 Swiss Spar stores is an important moment for adoption, but the market has yet to react.
Technical levels suggest that the ADA is range-bound and traders should look for immediate resistance or below immediate support to determine the next trend.
In particular, a descending trend line is forming, with $0.28 currently acting as an immediate resistance point.
Therefore, a break above this level could pave the way to $0.32 with sustained volume, which is a strong resistance in line with the stacked moving averages.
On the downside, a clear break below $0.26 could bring the $0.24 level into play.
A drop below could accelerate the sell-off and bring prices back to $0.21, echoing recent technical warnings on the downside.
