In a keynote titled “After Voltaire: The Next Evolution of Cardano,” Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, unveiled an ambitious roadmap that could see the blockchain ecosystem running a nation-state by 2030. Hoskinson envisions this nation-state as a substantial entity, potentially serving tens of millions of people. We as an ecosystem have to make a […]
The Cardano price has faced severe downward pressure compared to other cryptocurrencies in the past few weeks. ADA recently started a fresh drop below the $0.3550 zone and is now down by about 15% in the past 30 days. This lackluster performance has kept many ADA holders in the red zone, with unrealized losses mounting as the price continues to struggle. As a result, it is only natural for many to keep selling to reduce their losses, which in turn could cause the ADA price to keep falling, at least in the short term. Analyst Says Cardano Price Is Already 80 To 90% Into Correction The current ADA price action is very difficult to deal with, especially for long-term holders who have continued to hold despite the laggard performance. According to an analyst on TradingView, the best way for these ADA holders to keep approaching the ADA price outlook is to keep holding. This is because the drop is already quite advanced and we can say that 80 to 90% of the correction is already over for this pair. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs Reach $3 Billion Inflows In October, Retail Investors Lead The Charge – Report To put things in perspective, Cardano is currently trading around 56% below its 2024 high of $0.7742, despite broader market rallies seen in September and October. According to crypto analyst Alan Santana on TradingView, ADA appears to be consolidating around the same price levels seen in November 2023, showing limited upward momentum. In comparison, most other large market cap cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Solana, and BNB are already on their way to retesting their 2024 highs made in the first quarter. Interestingly, there exists a possibility of Cardano dropping lower in the coming months, especially if Bitcoin were to correct massively. However, as analyst Alan Santana pointed out, Cardano is already almost done with its corrections. As such, a fresh drop in the ADA price wouldn’t be a super strong drop and would last only a few days or maximum a few weeks. Sustained Long-Term Growth For ADA According to Santana, selling ADA now may not be the best move, especially for those who have held throughout the corrections. This is because prices are already really low for ADA, and is already in the accumulation zone. As such, a prudent action would be to focus on the long term and wait until the next bull market enters in full swing. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stock To Flow Model Shows Price Is Ready For Next Phase Transition Above $100,000 Santana’s price projection for ADA suggests that while another slight drop could occur, it would likely be followed by a gradual recovery from November 2024 to February 2025, with a more significant bullish phase expected to gain momentum by March 2025. By that point, Santana forecasts a potential return for ADA above $0.70, representing a 130% increase from its current price levels. At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.3371, having increased by about 1.25% in the past 24 hours. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

In an analysis published on TradingView, pseudonymous crypto analyst Melika Trader has provided a technical forecast for Cardano (ADA), highlighting a long-term upside scenario with a price target of $1.8. Using chart patterns and key price levels, Melika offers both short and long-term perspectives on ADA’s price movement. Long-Term Cardano Price Outlook Melika identifies a significant support zone for ADA between $0.30 and $0.35. This range has historically shown strong buying interest, characterized by an engulfing candle pattern and previously established supply and demand (S&D) zones. This base formation suggests a robust floor where Cardano has consistently garnered market support. The analyst points out the potential for a bullish reversal, noting that ADA’s price action appears to be forming a bottom within this support zone. “The price seems to form a bottom after engulfing the support region, hinting at a potential bullish reversal,” Melika states. Looking ahead, Melika sets a long-term resistance target between $1.20 and $1.80. This target area is not arbitrary but is based on previous price peaks, making it a significant hurdle for future price action. Should ADA maintain its support base, the path to these higher resistance levels may be realized as buyer confidence rejuvenates, setting the stage for a potential bull run. Related Reading: Cardano’s Pullback Short-Lived, Fresh Rally Underway For ADA? “The next major resistance is in the $1.20-$1.80 zone, marked as a long-term target, which aligns with previous highs. If the current support holds, ADA could be positioned for a sustained rally toward the long-term target, especially as buyers regain confidence,” Melika writes. However, she also cautions investors about a bearish scenario where ADA fails to maintain the $0.30 support level. A breach below this threshold could lead to a decline to levels below $0.18, presenting a substantial risk for holders. “A failure to hold support around $0.30 could see the price retesting to below $0.18,” Melika warns. Related Reading: Cardano Bullish Pattern Suggests A Breakout – Can ADA Reach $0.54? ADA Price Analysis: Short-Term Outlook In the immediate term, ADA is navigating a strong support zone identified between $0.33 and $0.34, aligned with a lower trendline that underscores its importance. “A bounce from this support zone could see ADA targeting the resistance zone at $0.38 – $0.39. The engulfed area suggests a possible reversal signal,” the crypto analyst claims. This resistance zone at $0.39 represents a critical point where previous sellers have previously dominated, making it a pivotal area for ADA’s short-term price action. A successful breach of this resistance could validate the bullish rebound scenario. “The $0.39 zone is a significant resistance where sellers previously controlled the market, making it a critical area to watch for any breakout,” Melika states. Conversely, if ADA fails to sustain its current support, the price could retreat towards the broader long-term support at $0.30, underpinning the downside risks highlighted by Melika. At press time, ADA traded at $0.3437. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView.com

Tron is now in the top 10 blockchains by market cap, flipping Toncoin and Cardano. While there were initial doubts about the network dying a natural death due to the then “superior” competitor Ethereum in the first few years, the smart contracts platform has surpassed expectations. Tron Energy Demand Doubles In 3 Months At spot rates, is TRX likely to print fresh all-time highs, and the mainnet is also thriving. According to IntoTheBlock, the Tron energy requirements have expanded 100% in the past three months. Related Reading: $200,000 Bitcoin In 2025? $791 Billion Asset Manager Calls It ‘Conservative’ Experts say the rapid increase in Tron energy indicates growing network activity and rapid adoption. Like Ethereum and other modern chains, Tron is energy efficient and relies on validators for transaction processing. However, in Tron’s case, energy is useful when executing smart contracts on the mainnet. As more people deploy meme coins or launch DeFi dapps, the mainnet’s “fuel” demand also increases. Rising resource needs push Tron energy to fresh levels. By how Tron is designed, more energy is needed during periods of high demand to prevent gas fees from spiking in case transactions are congested. That energy has been rising in the past few months is not surprising. Not only does Tron boast of a thriving DeFi ecosystem, but it also has a vibrant meme coin scene. Ecosystem Boom Driven By Meme Coins: TRX Priming For New All-Time Highs? DeFiLlama shows that all Tron DeFi dapps manage over $7 billion of assets. On the other hand, the recent launch of SunPump, a meme coin launchpad in August, has seen over 91,000 meme coins deploy on the network. Looking at Dune, over 1,700 tokens have been listed on Sunswap. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Retests Bullish Channel At $65,000, Analyst Reveals What’s Next Coincidentally, the spike came with the activation of SunPump in August. As of October 24, SunPump has helped Tron generate over $5.4 million in revenue, looking at Dune data. Others came from smart contract deployments via gaming, DeFi, and other diverse dapps on the platform. TRX is trading at around October 2024 highs at press time, defying gravity. Interestingly, despite the momentum challenges Ethereum faces, TRX, on the other hand, is less than 4% away from all-time highs. If bulls build on October 24 gains, the coin may easily break August highs, printing a new all-time high in Q4 2024. Feature image from DALLE, chart from TradingView

Despite its recent lacklustre price performance, market experts remain extremely bullish about the Cardano price prospects. Notably, a crypto analyst has forecasted that Cardano, which is currently trading below the $1 mark, is on the brink of a major breakout, with the potential to skyrocket to $5. Expert Sees Cardano Hitting $5 Soon Popular crypto analyst, Dan Gambardello took to X (formerly Twitter) on October 6 to share his bullish projections for Cardano, highlighting past bull cycles and market trends. Gambardello told his 262,900 followers that Cardano could quickly rise above $1 between now and December. Related Reading: Optimism, Aptos, And Taiko Face $169.66 Million In Token Unlocks, Should You Buy Or Sell? In a detailed video outlining the rationale behind his bullish prediction, Gambardello noted that if Cardano can follow the market trends established during the previous bull cycle, its price could easily skyrocket to $1. During the last bull market in 2021, Cardano had been among the top altcoins, experiencing significant gains that propelled its price to new all-time highs. Although it surged to an all-time high of $3.10 in September 2021, Cardano has since plummeted by 88.43% and is currently trading at $0.35. CoinMarketCap’s data also reveals that ADA’s price has fallen by 8.41% over the past week, underscoring the cryptocurrency’s bearish momentum. Despite the sluggish price growth, Gambardello has forecasted that ADA could potentially exceed all time highs to reach $5. The analyst emphasized that Cardano is even more well positioned for a bull rally than last cycle, highlighting positive signs in key metrics such as the altcoin’s Relative Index Strength (RSI) and higher low action. To be more precise, Gamberdello projects that Cardank could reach $1 before the end of 2024, and then soar to new price levels between $5 and $10. The analyst has expressed confidence in this bullish outlook, emphasizing that a $5 price increase was a realistic target. For Cardano to reach new all-time highs of $5, Gambardello has disclosed that the 50-week and 20-week Moving Average (MA) are crucial levels to watch. He stressed that ADA must first break above $0.38, and then move to $0.42 before it can experience a potential breakout to the upside. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Could Hit $100,000 Before The End Of The Year Bullish Forecast For Cardano Continues To Grow Sharing a similar sentiment with Gambardello, a popular crypto analyst, identified as ‘Sssebi’ on X has predicted that ADA could potentially skyrocket to $10 by 2025. The analyst notes that the cryptocurrency could experience a sharp breakout to the upside, first surging to $0.5 before hitting the coveted $1 price mark. After this, Sssebi predicts that ADA will rise to $3, surprising the broader cryptocurrency market with its massive growth. He believes that following a potential price surge to $10, investors will begin “FOMOing” hard as they recognize the immense potential of Cardano.

The DeSci movement continues to gain steam among industry insiders.
Max Kaiser, a famous Bitcoin backer, recently caused a stir by saying that Cardano (ADA) could lose 90% of its value against Bitcoin in the next six months. His prediction has gotten a range of responses, from doubt to fun, especially from people who support the ADA like the Cardano Whale. Some people see this prediction as a chance to buy at a lower price, while others are more wary because the crypto market is so unstable. Related Reading: Starknet: Long Positions Liquidated Lead To 16% Losses It’s easy to see why so many people are sticking with Bitcoin: it keeps looking like the best asset for long-term buyers. Bitcoin has a good brand associated with their value and a decentralized nature that gives it the push. It’s also a relatively stable cryptocurrency compared to many, with the sheer size of the network effect, an infrastructure firmly supported by institutional players, and high liquidity. Cardano (ADA) will lose another 90% vs. Bitcoin over the next 6 months. pic.twitter.com/jQHhJg1m59 — Max Keiser (@maxkeiser) October 5, 2024 What Makes Cardano Stand Out Although Kaiser made a somewhat negative forecast, Cardano is demonstrating that cryptocurrencies are a real competitor. By offering a solution that can last longer and expand with the demands of the society, it seeks to be superior to Ethereum and other smart contract platforms. Cardano focuses on scalability, energy efficiency, and building a strong base for decentralized applications and finance projects. It uses a peer-reviewed academic method and proof-of-stake consensus. But things haven’t been easy for ADA. Some market observers say that the fact that it is taking a long time to catch on and grow is a big problem. Many investors are confused as to whether ADA is going to maintain its edge in the smart contract platform space post the price going down quite sharply over the last year. Cardano has to step up the act as it is playing against stiff competition in a game by renowned companies. A Mixed Bag For The Short Term Even though there are problems, Cardano has a small chance of getting a boost in price. CoinCodex recently made a price prediction that says Cardano’s price will go up by 17% and hit about $0.42492 by November 6, 2024. The current mood of the market is neutral, and the Fear & Greed Index also has a score of 50, which means it is balanced. In the last 30 days, there have been 63% “green days” for Cardano, and the price has changed only 6%. Related Reading: Bittensor (TAO) Soars 130% – What’s Behind The Altcoin’s Recent Surge? These details imply a level of stability that could lead people to invest. Thus far, Cardano has done well, which is an indication that it could well catch on, notwithstanding its remaining concerns. Analysts feel that these are the best times to buy-in since the probability of going up is consistent with the general trend of the market. Featured image from Vecteezy, chart from TradingView

The recent Chang hard fork upgrade in September has positioned the Cardano (ADA) blockchain as the top player in the crypto ecosystem, according to its founder, Charles Hoskinson. Hoskinson, who is also known for his role in co-founding Ethereum (ETH), has consistently praised Cardano’s progress over the past month following the recent upgrade, asserting its superiority over the largest cryptocurrencies on the market such as Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of decentralization. Hoskinson Declares Cardano Remains Top Dog In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Hoskinson reaffirmed Cardano’s status, claiming it is “still number 1.” This statement follows his remarks at the Token2049 Conference in Singapore, where he discussed the new governance model of the Cardano network. Hoskinson emphasized that this model “redistributes power” from a select few to the broader community, addressing a key concern he sees with Ethereum’s “centralized structure.” Related Reading: Analyst Says PEPE Bearish Continuation Is Possible For A 50% Price Crash Hoskinson pointed out that Ethereum’s reliance on its founder, Vitalik Buterin, creates “a bottleneck for innovation,” whereas Cardano’s Chang hard fork has established a framework that ensures ongoing development regardless of individual involvement. Hoskinson further highlighted how delegated representatives (DReps) can now engage with one another, vote, and utilize a blockchain-based governance system to regularly ratify the network’s roadmap. He stated emphatically, “Charles, alive or dead, doesn’t matter. There’s still going to be innovation on a daily basis.” In addition, the Cardano blockchain has shown significant growth in key metrics, boasting over 74,000 Plutus scripts and the creation of 1.3 million delegated wallets over the last seven years. Additionally, approximately 1,373 projects have been launched on the platform, as highlighted in a commemorative video by Input Output Global (IOG), the development company behind the blockchain. Final Transition To Decentralized Governance? In his latest social media update, Hoskinson also remarked on Cardano’s advancements in decentralized governance, suggesting that the network is on the cusp of achieving remarkable milestones with upcoming features. Looking ahead, Cardano aims to replace its initial genesis keys, which have been instrumental in managing the network since its inception. This transition will be supported by increased participation from stake pool operators (SPOs) and DReps, as well as the establishment of a Constitutional Committee (CC). Related Reading: XRP Macro Charts Signal Explosive Bullish Move Despite SEC Appeal: Analyst The next steps toward achieving a fully decentralized governance model involve ensuring that stake pool nodes meet operational thresholds and that decentralized applications (DApps) are nearing completion. The final transition to the Voltaire era, signifying a fully self-sustaining blockchain, will occur with the final use of the Genesis keys, triggering another hard fork. However, further announcements and dates for these developments have yet to be released by IOG or the blockchain’s founder. At the time of writing, Cardano’s native token ADA trades at $0.352, recording a 2% price surge in the last 24 hours. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
Altcoin prices crumbled as Bitcoin fell to $60,000, but charts suggest buyers could step in soon.
Cardano (ADA) completed its first green September in six years as the coin enjoyed a price gain of almost 8%. This is significant as the crypto could enjoy an extended rally in October, leading to more price gains for Cardano. Cardano Records First Green September Cryptorank data shows that Cardano has recorded its first green September since it launched in 2017. This raises the possibility of the crypto enjoying an extended rally since it presents a bullish outlook for ADA. Crypto analyst Plutus also suggested that Cardano could replicate Bitcoin’s monthly returns following its first green September. Related Reading: Major Catalyst That Could Drive Bitcoin To New ATH In Q4 Emerges He added that the crypto can accomplish these positive monthly returns in the coming months with looser monetary policy starting to take place. Cardano imitating Bitcoin’s historical monthly returns in the last quarter of this year will be huge for the coin, considering that this is when the flagship crypto records its most profitable returns. Specifically, October is historically one of the best months for Bitcoin, as the crypto has only recorded two negative monthly returns since 2013. Most of its gains have also been double-digits. Therefore, October could be huge for Cardano if it replicates BTC’s monthly returns. Meanwhile, although October has historically not been a good month for Cardano, this time is much different, with these monetary easing policies presenting a bullish outlook for the crypto market. The US Fed rate cuts and China’s stimulus package were among the factors that contributed to ADA enjoying a monthly green candle in September. As such, the crypto could enjoy an extended rally as these monetary easing policies continue to roll out. It is also worth mentioning that Q4 of 2023 was very bullish for Cardano as it recorded double-digit gains in October, November, and December. Similar price gains this fourth quarter will see ADA reclaim $1 and record a new yearly high in the process. This will provide a much-needed boost for the coin, considering it boasts a year-to-date (YTD) loss of almost 40%. Other Factors That Support An Extended Rally From a technical perspective, Plutus noted that the current Heikin Ashi monthly candle is green, indicating a directional change on the cards. The analyst also revealed that the Weekly Gaussian channel, which flipped bullish back in February, is still green, suggesting that more impulsive moves to the upside are on the horizon for Cardano.

Bitcoin’s break above $65,000 and solid buying in-the-spot BTC ETFs have traders convinced that the bull market is back in full swing.
Cardano (ADA) has recently recorded impressive gains of nearly 13% over the past week, outperforming Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Analysts are optimistic about further price increases for ADA, particularly following the emergence of a “super signal” on the ADA/BTC trading chart. Cardano Price Tests Key Levels Market expert TrendRider highlighted this potential in a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), noting that the super signal indicates a strong possibility for ADA to gain value against Bitcoin in the upcoming weeks. This signal carries historical significance, boasting an 80% accuracy rate whenever it has appeared, suggesting that further price gains for Cardano are not just hopeful speculation but grounded in past performance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Peaks At Highest Value In 2 Months Above $65,000: Bull Run Predictions Currently trading at $0.398, ADA is at a critical juncture, testing the 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). TrendRider emphasizes that if Cardano manages to close the week above this level, it could signal the continuation of an upward trend. Following this, the price is expected to encounter volatility around the $0.430 mark, where the 50-day EMA is situated, and again at $0.490, which aligns with the 100 and 200-day moving averages. However, according to TrendRider’s analysis, the ultimate target for Cardano could be the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $0.75, which would be a significant milestone for the token following the significant price declines it has experienced over the past month. Market Analyst Predicts “Up Only” Phase Further reinforcing the bullish outlook, market analyst Alexander Legolas recently asserted that the crypto market has entered an “up only” phase. This optimism extends not only to Cardano but also to other prominent altcoins, which have shown signs of recovery following two notable market corrections of over 20% each on August 5 and September 6. During these downturns, the Cardano price fell to $0.27 and $0.303 respectively, marking significant lows for the 2024 token after hitting its annual high of $0.810 earlier this year during the Q1 rally, which also saw BTC hit its all-time high of $73,700. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Forecast: Q4 Outlook Indicates Parabolic Move Toward $120,000 Legolas further predicts that ADA could experience substantial upward momentum in the coming months, particularly as liquidity increases in the altcoin market. He points to the recent breakout of the total3 Alt chart from a massive cup and handle pattern as a key indicator of positive market sentiment. If these predictions come true, Cardano could even approach the $1 mark, a rise of around 151% from current levels. However, the token would still be down 67% from its all-time high of $3.09 reached during the 2021 bull run. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
