From a crypto perspective, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson suggests that former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is better suited to win the US presidential election as he has shown more support for the US crypto industry than Vice President Kamala Harris has.

At the TOKEN2049 conference, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci revealed that US Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is working alongside industry advocates on her crypto policies before the November elections. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Flies 12% To Reclaim $140, Is $160 Next? Kamala Harris “Distancing” From Warren And Gensler On Thursday, Anthony Scaramucci claimed to be “working alongside” Kamala Harris to develop her campaign’s crypto policies. SkyBridge Capital’s founder announced at one of the largest crypto events worldwide that the Democratic nominee has been “hearing out” industry proponents. Scaramucci and other undisclosed crypto and Bitcoin advocates have been allegedly pushing the US VP to back industry-friendly policies. These talks have been seemingly “making progress” and “going in the right direction,” he stated at the event. Moreover, the industry advocates working alongside Harris “want to prevent” crypto policies from becoming a partisan issue, aiming for “crypto in the U.S. to have a bipartisan standard unstrained from political and tribal conflicts.” Scaramucci also stated that they are working to “distance” the Democratic Party from figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler, who have had a big role in the US’s crackdown on the industry. The Democratic candidate’s stance on the sector has been heavily speculated since she was nominated. Nonetheless, Harris, whose stance remains undisclosed, has been endorsed by several industry figures, including Ripple’s co-founder Chris Larsen and Bitcoin bull Mark Cuban. Who Is The Crypto Industry’s ‘Favorite’ Candidate? At the TOKEN2049 panel, Scaramucci also commented on his feelings about former US president Donald Trump. He applauded the Republican candidate for understanding the industry’s importance, claiming that he has changed the landscape ahead of the elections: Whatever my feelings are about President Trump, I applaud him for understanding how important this industry is for the United States, and I think ironically, he’s pulling the Democrats along into a centrist position on regulation. Trump’s stance has pushed the Biden-Harris administration toward a more industry-friendly approach in the past few months. In a recent interview with CNBC, Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, also suggested that Trump might be the favorite option from a crypto perspective. To him, the Republican candidate is the clear industry favorite as he has openly embraced the sector, even launching a DeFi project. The community has also launched several Trump-inspired memecoins throughout his campaign, which lead the PolitiFi token sector. Related Reading: Will Bitcoin Break Through $70k? Short-Term Holders’ Buy Price Holds The Key Since the presidential debate on September 10, the US VP has challenged the Republican candidate’s winning odds. Prediction markets like Polymarket show that Harris’s chances of winning surpass Trump’s by 3%, with 51% odds in her favor. Nonetheless, Hoskinson considers that regardless of who wins the election, the world will continue to move toward crypto adoption. “The world, with or without America, is embracing cryptocurrencies,” he stated.

Cardano shows mixed signals on the technical indicators, not to mention the on-chain data. Despite bullish trends in the metrics, ADA has been unable to gain significant price momentum. At the time of writing, ADA is trading around $0.34, experiencing a slight 4% dip in the past 24 hours, leaving investors wondering whether it’s the right time to buy or wait. Related Reading: Bitcoin On Track For $92,000 ‘Bounce’ In 3 Months, Analyst Predicts Speaking of positive vibes, Cardano received a strong vote of confidence from the crypto community. In a recent survey conducted by Weiss Crypto, ADA won the title for the altcoin with the best technology, receiving over 76% of the votes. This shows that, despite price struggles, the community still believes in Cardano’s long-term potential. Which #altcoin has the best tech? — Weiss Crypto (@WeissCrypto) September 17, 2024 Bullish On-Chain Signals There’s some hope shown for ADA holders based on on-chain data. Coinglass reports that ADA’s Long/Short Ratio reads at 1.0167, meaning traders are feeling pretty bullish. Futures Open Interest has grown by 3% in the last 24 hours and has been up since the beginning of September 2024. These kinds of signals tend to mean traders are keeping their long positions, which can, by extension, set up the environment for price increases. For ADA, CoinCodex predicts a price rise of 16.53% and $0.405879 on October 19, 2024. On paper, these are fairly optimistic projections; however, the market sentiment and technicals overwhelmingly advise caution. Price Struggles To Gather Steam Despite the bullish data on-chain, ADA hasn’t managed to break out of the current range thus far. Even with the optimism indicated by the Long/Short Ratio and growing Futures Open Interest, ADA’s price is stuck at around $0.33. Further stagnation in this sense can be supported by the bearish sentiments presented within the wider crypto market that also impacts its short-term performance. ADA has been unable to break out from its present range even with the optimistic on-chain statistics. The altcoin’s price stays fixed near $0.33 even with the hope shown in the Long/Short Ratio and growing Futures Open Interest. The pessimistic mood of the larger crypto market, which has depressed its short-term performance, can help to explain this stalemate. Market Sentiment Cautiously Neutral The overall market sentiment remains neutral at 49, based on the Fear & Greed Index, which indicates caution. Where ADA’s price is said to rise in the coming weeks, most analysts are still advising one not to buy the asset yet since better bullish signals need to appear in the market first.

The recent surge in whale activity could also have a role to play—on September 17, these massive crypto hodlers moved 19.5 billion ADA tokens, worth around $6.48 billion, according to IntoTheBlock. Such large movements often signal upcoming price changes, and investors are watching closely. ADA: Community Confidence And Outlook With mixed technical indicators, the community of Cardano is doing just fine. The Weiss Crypto survey that shows ADA outperforming Ethereum and Solana, among others, suggests the technological base of Cardano is solid. Finally, though the on-chain metrics are bullish regarding Cardano, general market conditions are quite dim. Its short-term movement is pretty limited while there is hope in the community that the altcoin will still be able to prove its mettle as it works its way up the altcoin ladder.

The overall bearish sentiment for Cardano (ADA) continues to rise as analysts now foresee a massive 33% price crash for the altcoin. This pessimistic projection comes as ADA struggles to gain traction in the market, with its value remaining stagnant or steadily dropping to lower levels. Cardano (ADA) Crash Incoming Compared to other prominent altcoins in the crypto market, Cardano has performed poorly, struggling with price declines and sluggish growth. Consequently, a crypto analyst, identified as ‘Financialfreedomgoals’ on TradingView, predicted that cryptocurrency is likely to experience more than a 30% crash to new lows. Related Reading: BlackRock Calls Bitcoin ‘Hedge Against Global Disorder’, Analyst Sets $600,000 Target The analyst notes the broader negative state of the current crypto market, highlighting that most altcoins are stuck in a “bearish rut.” He disclosed that rather than achieving new all-time highs, these coins have been setting fresh lows, underscoring the persistent downtrend and decreased confidence amongst investors. Cardano, in particular, has had its share of negative sentiment and volatility. The cryptocurrency has stayed unwaveringly below the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) 200 line, a key technical indicator traders often use to gauge long-term trends. Typically, when the price of a cryptocurrency stays below this line, it tends to signal a continuation of a bearish trend. Given the present bearish state of the market, the crypto analyst has dismissed the idea of an upcoming altcoin season, where the majority of cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin experience significant price gains. On the daily time frame, Cardano is trading below the EMA 200 line and the bearish trend line. Initially, a rising wedge pattern had formed on the cryptocurrency’s price chart, however instead of breaking out, Cardano saw a series of negative candlesticks alongside a bearish crossover on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). This series of negative indicators suggests that bears may be tightening their grip on Cardano’s price. As such, the crypto analyst foresees the ADA continuing its descent to reach fresh lows at target areas: 0.2506 or 0.2197. These targets are calculated using the Fibonacci retracement ratios of 1.272 and 1.618. 0.3815 Resistance Could Trigger Bullish Surge Despite maintaining a largely bearish stance on Cardano’s price outlook, Financialfreedomgoals has hinted at a potential bullish turnaround. He has suggested that a price reversal for ADA could be possible if the price of the cryptocurrency manages to break above the key resistance at 0.3815 Fibonacci level. Related Reading: Time To Convert Bitcoin To Ethereum? ETH/BTC Charts Gears Up For 180% Surge Crypto analyst Sssebi shares an even greater bullish outlook for Cardano. He highlights that during the previous bull market, ADA’s value increased by more than 100X. As a result, the analyst believes that ADA will rally by at least 20X in this current market cycle, expressing even stronger confidence that the cryptocurrency will reach $5 soon. As of writing, the price of ADA is trading at $0.3576, reflecting a significant increase of 11.39% over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Dan Gambardello has highlighted the Cardano (ADA) roadmap to a new all-time high (ATH). The analyst also suggested that Cardano was halfway to reaching a new high, noting what part of its cycle the coin was currently at. Cardano Is In Stage 3 Of Its Cycle Gambardello remarked in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Cardano is in stage three of its cycle. He claimed that this part of the cycle for ADA is the “Told you. You should’ve listened” stage. This refers to the point where investors begin to capitulate, thinking that the crypto is unlikely to surge in the bull market given its bearish price action. Related Reading: XRP Price To Crash To $0.33 Before Surge To $9 Post-SEC Appeal; Analyst Reveals Once this stage is done, Cardano is expected to move to the next stage of its cycle, which Gambardello called the “Here we go again, another bull trap” stage. This stage will help shake out the short-term traders who jumped on ADA, believing its price would rise soon enough. Once the non-believers have been shaken out, the analyst predicts that Cardano will move to the last part of its cycle, when it will shatter its ATH and reach new highs. In his accompanying chart, Gambardello predicted that Cardano would rise to as high as $15 by year-end 2025. The analyst also indicated that ADA will enjoy a price surge beyond 2025, expected to mark the end of this cycle’s bull run. Interestingly, he forecasts that Cardano’s price will double in a year and rise to $31 by year-end 2026. A rise to $31 means that Cardano will have a market cap of $1 trillion. For context, the crypto market currently has a market cap of $2 trillion, meaning that figure is set to increase exponentially if ADA alone becomes valued at $1 trillion. The analyst didn’t provide any reason for believing the crypto can experience such massive growth in two years. A More Conservative Price Prediction Crypto analyst InvestingHaven has offered a more conservative price prediction for Cardano. In an X post, the analyst stated that the crypto will reach a “super bullish target of $1.95” in 2025. He also questioned whether ADA was ready for a breakout, claiming that the $0.443 Fibonacci level was the key to unlocking higher prices. Related Reading: Bitcoin Forms Golden Cross On 2-Month Chart, Here’s What Happened Last Time InvestingHaven added that the 2025 outlook for Cardano is full of potential, reaffirming that this is when the crypto will enjoy a parabolic rally. ADA has had a rough 2024 despite bullish developments like the Chang Hard Fork, which ushered in a decentralized governance system for the Cardano network. It is one of the worst-performing crypto assets this year, with a year-to-date (YTD) loss of over 40%. At the time if writing, Cardano is trading at around $0.35, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Cardano (ADA) is currently trading just below a critical resistance level at $0.33 after a week of intense fear and uncertainty in the market. However, on-chain data from IntoTheBlock suggests that some investors see this as a potential buying opportunity, anticipating a market recovery in the near future. Related Reading: Why Is Ethereum (ETH) Losing Ground To Bitcoin? Key Report Explains ETH Struggles Despite the broader downturn, certain metrics indicate growing optimism, as a portion of the market appears to be accumulating ADA at these levels. This suggests that investors may expect a reversal soon. As the market continues to shift, these metrics could offer key insights for those wondering whether Cardano is worth buying at this point or if a deeper correction is likely. With ADA hovering at a critical juncture, investors are closely monitoring price action and data to determine if this could be a turning point for the asset. Cardano Investors Getting Ready To Buy? Data from IntoTheBlock reveals that some investors view Cardano (ADA) as a promising buying opportunity ahead of a potential market recovery. One significant indicator supporting this is the Exchange On-chain Market Depth, which tracks order books on the top 20 exchanges. This data shows that participants have placed buy orders for 220 million ADA tokens, amounting to over $70 million at the current market price. In contrast, bearish traders have set sell orders for fewer than 170 million ADA tokens, valued at approximately $52 million. This disparity between buying and selling volume suggests that Cardano’s price may be poised for an upward movement. When buy orders significantly outweigh sell orders, it often signals that investor sentiment is turning more positive, which can contribute to an increase in price. As long as this trend persists, with buying pressure dominating, Cardano could see a rally in the near term. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) 180-Day Consolidation Set to Break: Massive Rally Just Around the Corner? However, despite the bullish outlook from some investors, the broader market remains filled with uncertainty, and Cardano still faces resistance at the $0.33 level. The overall market sentiment and external factors will play a crucial role in determining whether ADA can break through this resistance and enter a more sustained uptrend. Still, the current data suggests a favorable environment for a potential recovery if positive sentiment continues. ADA Price Action ADA is currently trading at $0.32, facing indecision as it attempts to break the $0.33 resistance, which previously acted as support in early August. The asset remains under pressure, trading below the 4-hour 200 moving average (MA) at $0.3446. This is a crucial indicator of short-term strength, and its current position signals weakness. For bulls to regain momentum, ADA must break past the $0.33 resistance and reclaim the 4-hour 200 MA as support. Achieving this would strengthen the bullish case, potentially leading to a rally. However, if ADA fails to clear these resistance levels, the outlook could turn bearish. The next significant support sits at $0.30, and a break below this level would signal further downside potential. Related Reading: Can Avalanche (AVAX) Reclaim $30?

In a new video analysis, popular crypto analyst Dan Gambardello delved into the potential future of the Cardano (ADA) price amidst the troubling forecasts of a US recession. With a significant following of 369,000 on YouTube, Gambardello highlighted the general unease among ADA holders and general crypto investors due to the ongoing economic discourse surrounding a potential recession. Will Cardano Bottom In December? He drew parallels between historical S&P 500 behavior and current market conditions, noting, “On average the S&P 500 bottoms three months after a recession begins, but 10 months before the recession ends.” This observation is crucial as it sets a potential timeframe for when investors might expect the crypto market, including ADA, to bottom out. “I give it a 50/50 odds that we’re in a recession now. Check this out. The Fed has signaled that September interest rate cut is coming all but two times in history when the Fed has started to cut rates, a recession followed,” Gambardello suggested and explained that recession starts are usually only declared to have started once they have already begun. He further explained that the prevalent discussion about the US already being in a recession could impact investment strategies. According to Gambardello, if history repeats itself, the market could see its lowest point in December 2024. He based this on a detailed look back at market downturns since 1957, which typically show significant movements three months following the onset of a recession. Related Reading: Stunning Fall From Grace: Cardano Suffers 90% Plunge In Market Share Since ’21 “I just think whenever the bottom will be in, it is going to be explosive […] oftentimes [they declare] it 10 months later and they’re like ‘hey, you know what, the recession started 10 months ago. Nobody, there’s no exact science to when it starts, not like a set date but 3 months after it, the bottom is in for markets,” the crypto analyst noted. Gambardello then addressed the Federal Reserve’s signals about upcoming interest rate cuts, which historically have been followed by recessions. This pattern adds another layer to the already complex market analysis, suggesting that a recession might indeed be imminent or already underway. “All but two times in history when the Fed has started to cut rates, a recession followed,” he remarked, highlighting the gravity of the current economic signals. Shifting focus to Cardano, Gambardello juxtaposed ADA’s current market performance against its historical data. He pointed out that, similar to previous cycles, ADA is currently down by 89% from its peak, closely mirroring its past downturns where it was down by 94% at similar points. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Explains Why Cardano Remains ‘Fundamentally Bullish’ “We’re down 89%. So put it all aside, Cardano is not doing anything different than it did last cycle. And the one thing I did notice though was from this 2018 high to when Ada made its way to where we are right now is, that was around 992 days after that all-time high. This time around and this is why I think it feels a little bit more painful for Cardano holders this time around, we’re looking at almost 1,100 days from all-time high to this moment right so it’s been very grueling,” Gambardello stated. Moreover, he analyzed Bitcoin’s influence on altcoins like Cardano. He discussed the potential for an ‘altcoin season,’ a period when altcoins typically surge if Bitcoin’s market dominance begins to wane. According to his analysis, such a season isn’t currently in play but could be on the horizon, correlating with his predicted market bottom in December. “Most altcoins, especially the blue chips, especially the top altcoins, are going to fly when market bottoms and crypto bounces,” Gambardello said. Concluding his analysis, Gambardello adopted a cautiously optimistic tone. He acknowledged the uncertainties inherent in predicting crypto markets but underscored the importance of historical patterns and current economic indicators in formulating investment strategies. He advised his viewers to stay vigilant, keep an eye on market data, and be prepared for more potential downside, but also be ready for an explosive growth period that has historically followed recessions.

Cardano (ADA) is approaching a crucial support level at $0.3389, a point that could determine its next major price movement. As the cryptocurrency nears this significant threshold, the question arises: will it hold firm, or will a break below signal a deeper decline? This pivotal moment could set the stage for significant shifts in ADA’s price trajectory. This article aims to analyze ADA’s current price dynamics as it approaches the $0.3389 support level. We will examine the significance of this support threshold and assess the potential impact of a breach on ADA’s price trajectory. By exploring technical indicators, recent market trends, and possible scenarios, we seek to provide a comprehensive outlook on whether ADA is poised for a deeper decline or if the support level will hold firm. As of the time of writing, ADA is trading around $0.3488, marking a 2.25% decline, with a market capitalization of over $12 billion and a trading volume exceeding $272 million. In the past 24 hours, ADA’s market cap has decreased by 2.23%, and its trading volume has dropped by 1.55% Decoding ADA Behavior: Key Insights From Current Trends On the 4-hour chart, ADA has dropped below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and is currently consolidating just above the $0.3389 mark. This positioning suggests a bearish trend, with the potential for further declines if the cryptocurrency breaks below this key support level. Additionally, on the 4-hour chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has slipped below the 50% mark, currently resting at 41%, highlighting a growing bearish momentum and suggesting that selling pressure could intensify. On the daily chart, ADA is exhibiting notable negative movement below the 100-day SMA, with multiple bearish candlesticks forming as it nears the $0.3389 mark. This bearish trend indicates strong selling pressure and negative market sentiment, raising the likelihood of a breakout below this key level. Finally, the 1-day RSI reveals that ADA remains under significant bearish pressure, with the indicator trending below 50%. Sitting at 40%, the falling signal line highlights sustained bearish dominance and increasing pessimism surrounding the cryptocurrency. Critical Juncture: Will ADA’s $0.3389 Support Hold Or Signal A Deeper Drop? If ADA maintains support at the $0.3389 support level, it could start to rise toward the $0.4233 resistance level. If the price successfully breaches this resistance, it may continue its rally toward the next resistance point at $0.5229 and possibly other levels beyond. However, should the $0.3389 mark fail to hold and the price break below this level, the cryptocurrency may continue to move downward toward the $0.2388 range. Once this level is breached, the crypto asset may experience more price drops toward other support marks below. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin and altcoins are witnessing some profit taking today, but the overall uptrend remains intact.
Cardano (ADA) has been stuck in a challenging position for the past few years, struggling with stagnant price growth despite being one of the most popular altcoins in the space. A crypto analyst has offered insights into why Cardano has underperformed while also maintaining an optimistic outlook and predicting a 1,000% rally to new highs this cycle. Cardano On The Verge Of A 10X Rally Crypto analyst Max Maher recently released a YouTube video predicting that Cardano could witness a 3X, 5X or 10X surge soon. The analyst highlighted several reasons why he believes the underperforming altcoin could witness such a significant price increase. Related Reading: Bullish XRP Analyst Eyes $7.50 If Crypto Breaks Resistance Maher disclosed that during the last crypto bull run in 2021, Cardano was one of the top bullish altcoins, skyrocketing to an all time high of $3.10 at the time. Following this substantial price leap, the cryptocurrency and other major coins slumped drastically. However, unlike other coins that have witnessed steady price gains in 2024, Cardano still struggles to recover from bearish sentiment. According to CoinMarketCap’s data, Ethereum (ETH) has risen by an impressive 65.58% since the beginning of the year, currently trading at $2,735. Solana (SOL) has witnessed an even more dramatic increase this year, jumping 682.08% to trade at $159.20. In contrast, Cardano has recorded a modest year-to-date increase of just 45.54%, trading at $0.37 amidst bearish trends. Maher has revealed that for Cardano to break out of the bearish territory and see a 1,000% rally to new all-time highs of $4.29, the cryptocurrency’s community sentiment will need to undergo a major change. He asserted that positivity fuels success, indicating that if the community’s sentiment towards Cardano becomes more favorable, the cryptocurrency could experience a rise in adoption, potentially triggering a substantial price increase. As an example, the analyst observed a significant shift within the Cardano ecosystem following a post he released on X (formerly Twitter) in May, which underscored the impacts of negative comments on the price of ADA. The analyst revealed that the positive change in sentiment has continued to this day. From this observation, the analyst suggested that Cardano needs an improved perception of its narrative and brand to drive a price increase. He highlighted that the cryptocurrency already has a rock-solid foundation and is supported by a highly secure and efficient network. Key Factors Behind Cardano’s Persistent Slump While sharing his optimistic outlook for Cardano’s future price, Maher also offered key insights on why the cryptocurrency has experienced such a severe and prolonged price slump. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Sounds Alarm: Here’s Why It’s Your ‘Last Chance To Buy Bitcoin’ He highlighted three major reasons for Cardano’s underperformance. Firstly, Maher disclosed that, unlike Ethereum and Solana, Cardano lacked a compelling “core narrative.” This means that beyond its high level of security and reputation as an efficient blockchain network, Cardano lacked a strong, distinctive selling proposition that set it apart from other cryptocurrencies. While Ethereum has Spot ETFs, and Solana has meme coins to drive its price, Cardano only had its core functionalities. Additionally, Maher revealed that Cardano’s sophisticated values and fundamentals were difficult for investors to fully comprehend. Finally, he emphasized that Cardano lacked robust and positive community engagement, which is essential for driving its price higher. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Cardano has gotten a lot of bullish predictions lately, especially in relation to the much-anticipated Chang upgrade. The upgrade is one of the most important upgrades for the network in a while, and this has triggered a wave of optimism among supporters. Amid this, another bullish prediction has been presented by crypto analyst Alan Santana, who predicts a significant rally for the altcoin’s price that would send it to new all-time high prices. Where Cardano Is In This Cycle In the last three years, the Cardano price has seen various waves of bullish and bearish cycles, and unfortunately, the bears look to have won out. This began after the ADA price hit its current all-time high price of $3.10 in 2021, and since then, it has been mainly down-only. While this would usually scare off investors, crypto analyst Alan Santana points it out in his bullish analysis. Related Reading: The Shiba Inu Shibarium Suffers 97.6% Crash In Active Accounts, What’s Going On? According to the crypto analyst, the period when the Cardano price hit a new all-time high and 2023 when the price began moving upward, it showed that the altcoin was in a bear market. However, this was followed by a consolidation phase, which lasted from the beginning of 2023 to the end of 2023. Once the consolidation period was done, the ADA price began to see an upside at the start of 2024. This saw its price go from as low as $0.24 to as high as $0.79. This phase, Santana refers to as the “initial bullish breakout.” Now, the reason this phase is important is it is what the analyst refers to as the “entree or appetizer before the major bull-market.” This means that is the analyst is right, then this initial breakout is only a preview of what’s to come. The decline that followed the local peak of $0.79 has been a source of worry for Cardano investors as the altcoin lost around 50% of its value since then. However, the crypto analyst calls this a “minor correction” which wouldn’t matter much when the bull cycle rolls around. How High Can The ADA Price Go? From the analysis, Santana seems to expect the Cardano price to bottom somewhere around $0.22. Soon after, a bounce is expected to follow the decline, pushing the price even higher. From here, the targets come in, both for the short and long term. Related Reading: This Triangle Pattern Triggered In 2021 Suggests XRP Price Will Surge 5,000% To $32 Short-term targets include a 284.5% increase to $1.36, and a 475.39% increase to $2. Over the long term though, the crypto analyst expects much more explosive rallies for the ADA price. Two in particular stand out: One is a 1,272.18% increase to a new all-time high of $4.8. While the most notable rally is a 2,200% increase that would put the price at $8. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Data from the on-chain analytics platform Santiment shows that over an additional 12% of Cardano’s supply is now in profits, which could pave the way for the holders of these tokens to secure their profits, especially considering Cardano’s unstable price action so far in this market cycle. Despite its recent price gains, Cardano has been one of the most underperforming coins since the start of the year and boasts a year-to-date (YTD) loss of over 35%. As such, Cardano holders are likely to be more compelled to secure their profits rather than hold on to the belief that this recent price surge is a bullish reversal rather than a relief bounce. The recent transaction pattern among these Cardano holders also suggests that they are losing confidence in the crypto token and are likely to secure their profits as soon as possible. Data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that the average holding time of coins transacted in the last thirty days has been 5 months, indicating that Cardano holders are paper-handing their tokens. Meanwhile, further data from IntoTheBlock shows how many addresses could offload their tokens if these Cardano holders begin to secure profits. 481,370 ADA addresses bought the crypto token between the price range of $0.3 and $0.35. This set of investors could be the first to begin securing profits, considering that they could easily fall out of the money if Cardano’s recent price surge is simply a relief bounce. A Guide For ADA Investors Crypto analyst Trend Rider recently provided a guide for Cardano holders, which he stated they could use as a “master plan to stay calm and tune out the noise.” This guide came in the form of a chart that showed key levels holders should watch out for and use in making a well-thought-out investment decision. The analyst stated that the range between $0.22 and $0.31 is a liquidation zone, which presents a strong buying area for those who want to add to their positions. He further stated that the main barrier zone for Cardano is between $0.42 and $0.55, noting that this area is ideal for taking profits. He added that Cardano could enjoy a quick rally to $0.75 if it breaks above this main barrier zone. The analyst claimed $0.75 is the “final boss resistance, a prime spot to take profits.”Those with greater conviction in Cardano might want to hold the crypto token for much longer if it hits $0.75. Trend Rider stated that a break above $0.75 means the crypto token is entering bull market territory. At the time of writing, ADA has been trading at around $0.379, which is up almost 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
