The Cardano (ADA) price is down 46% since its yearly high and is currently facing a make-or-break price level for a bullish reversal. Here’s what you need to know:

Cardano Price Analysis: Daily Chart

The daily ADA/USD chart is currently charting a path within a descending channel, which has defined the bearish trend since the beginning of March. On Monday, the ADA price peaked near $0.475, encountering substantial resistance at the channel’s upper boundary and from the critical 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which stands currently at $0.47.

In the short-term, this resistance level is crucial as it coincides with historical price rejection points, confirming its significance. As of press time, ADA is trading at approximately $0.44.

The convergence of the 20-day EMA ($0.47), 50-day EMA ($0.54), and 100-day EMA ($0.51) above the current price level illustrates a dense zone of resistance. The 200-day EMA at $0.52 reinforces this barrier, emphasizing a strong bearish momentum.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is currently at 38, which does not venture into the oversold territory (below 30) but indicates a bearish momentum with potential for further decline unless a reversal occurs.

For a bullish reversal, ADA needs a sustained break above the $0.47 mark (20-day EMA) with accompanying high volume to confirm the breakout from the descending channel and shift the market sentiment. Then, the cluster of EMAs becomes the central resistance zone.

Crossing this band is of utmost importance in order to build up bullish momentum for a break above the yearly high of $0.81 from March. If not, the ADA price could trend towards the midline of the channel and drop below $0.40.

In-Depth Weekly Chart Overview

Transitioning to the weekly chart, the broader picture also underscores the bearish sentiment that has dominated ADA since it reached its peak at $3.17 in late 2021. The series of lower highs and lower lows is a textbook representation of a downtrend.

The price action currently remains suppressed below the long-term moving averages: the 20-week EMA at $0.52, 50-week EMA at $0.48, 100-week EMA at $0.51, and 200-week EMA at $0.52, all of which slope downwards, underscoring the persistent selling pressure in recent weeks.

The Fibonacci retracement levels, drawn from the high of $3.17 to the low of $0.22, provide further insights. Currently, ADA trades near $0.44, which is above the major psychological and technical support at $0.40.

The closest significant Fibonacci retracement level is the 0.236 level at $0.918, which ADA has struggled to surpass. A breach above this level could open the path toward higher Fibonacci levels at $1.348 (0.382) and $1.697 (0.5), which would require a significant shift in momentum and buying interest.

Overall, for ADA to shift from its bearish constraints, attention should be focused on the daily resistance at roughly $0.47 (descending channel breakout). Overcoming this barrier would be pivotal for confirming a bullish reversal. Until this level is decisively broken with substantial volume, the outlook remains tilted towards bearish continuation.

Cardano (ADA)’s founder is a man of many words and many GIFs. Charles Hoskinson’s comments, whether you agree or disagree with them, tend to spark discussions in the crypto community.

Hoskinson’s latest X reply spree covered issues from dating advice to his confidence in the ecosystem to Solana’s recent struggles. As a result, several conversations regarding those topics and Cardano’s founder’s perspectives on them spread across the X platform.

Charles Hoskinson’s Dating Advice

Charles Hoskinson offered some crypto-related dating advice in a reply to Lily Brodi, the creator of the viral ‘Cardano Girls’ video. The content creator asked whether it was weird to ask someone on the first day if they held ADA.

Cardano’s founder replied that not holding ADA was a “major red flag” at this point. Hoskinson jokingly insinuated that the person might “not be a cannibal,” but if they don’t hold Cardano’s native token, you should be alert anyway.

Later, he suggested he might know one or two eligible “Cardano bachelors.” The community found Hoskinson’s comments funny, with some agreeing with his perspective on potential partners.

Nonetheless, not all Hoskinson’s replies during his Wednesday spree were well received. Cardano’s founder seemingly took a jab at Solana after learning of the blockchain’s recent struggle to process transactions.

The post informed us of the levels of congestion that the Solana network is experiencing. According to Dune data, the Solana blockchain currently has a non-vote transaction failure rate of over 75%.

Three out of four transactions are experiencing issues before even making it to the block. The failure rate seems to occur “because many bots engaging in arbitrage generate spam transactions.” To the news, Hoskinson replied with a popular gif of actor Pedro Pascal enjoying himself.

Cardano has a douchebag founder https://t.co/Xn0Dj1VDsG

This reply prompted some X users to criticize Cardano’s Founder. Some even called him a “douchebag founder” and claimed that answers like that are the reason why the project “won’t make it.”

However, the ADA community joined in the criticism of the Solana network. Some community members deemed the chain as “useless.” Another ADA holder stated: “The Solana team does not know the basic principles of how blockchain works.”

The comments don’t come as a surprise as both communities’ ongoing “feud” tends to end in a jab and poking fun at each other’s struggles.

“Cardano Always Wins” Or Does It?

As part of Hoskinson’s recent “insight,” he commented on a recent poll ranking the best Layer-1 networks. In said poll, the Cardano ecosystem had the second-highest number of voters.

Nonetheless, its founder didn’t seem pleased, claiming that “It was engineered to produce an outcome prior to a single vote being cast.” To Hoskinson, in a “fair vote,” it is clear that “Cardano always wins.”

Despite his confidence in the project, the ADA price has recently shown a subpar performance. The token has exhibited red numbers in several timeframes, with an 11.5% drop in the last seven days and a 20.5% decrease in the past month.

The token’s current performance has not gone unnoticed by analysts either. Renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez raised some concerns about ADA’s whale activity.

According to Martinez, “Cardano is experiencing a lull in whale activity.” The analyst considers that this could signal a potential for further price consolidation or an impending drop.

The unclear trajectory of ADA’s price seems concerning to its holders, as some consider its current performance to be “extremely bearish right now.” At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.5748, a level not seen since Valentine’s Day.

Panelists at global fintech company Finder have relayed a series of projections on the Cardano native token ADA. Despite the cryptocurrency’s slow growth recently, various crypto experts have predicted the price of ADA to surge to record highs soon. 

Cardano Expected To Rise Above $3 by 2030

A recent survey of panelists at Finders has revealed the future outlook for the price of ADA. According to the report, Cardano is expected to witness a significant surge between the average of $5.37 and $3.15 by the end of the decade. 

Supporting the cryptocurrency’s potential price growth, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Layer One X, Matiu Rudolph has predicted that the price of ADA could increase to $3.50 or higher by 2025. He has also predicted that the cryptocurrency could witness a rise to new all-time highs of $10 by 2030. 

The COO has based his predictions on Cardano’s burgeoning ecosystem and robust community of supporters. He disclosed that the cryptocurrency’s loyal community was one of its greatest assets, fostering global adoption and boosting the value of the cryptocurrency. 

Also speaking about Cardano’s future price outlook, the founder of Omnia Markets, Mitseh Shah has projected the price of ADA to surge to $2.75 by 2025. The fintech founder has given reasons for his price prediction, stating if the crypto market enters a bull run, Cardano could see its price rising to new highs. 

“If next year’s Bitcoin halving leads to a bullish crypto market Cardano could well be taken along for the ride,” Nick Ranga, senior cryptocurrency and forex analyst at ForexTraders stated. 

In a similar light, another panelist, Ruadhan O, creator of Seasonal Tokens has remained bullish on Cardano, expecting the cryptocurrency to surge to $2 by 2030. The crypto investor has disclosed that Cardano is likely to witness significant gains from Ethereum’s market share during the next crypto bull run. 

Overall, predictions regarding Cardano’s price outlook seem to depend on the market’s performance and the possibility of a bull run. At the time of writing the cryptocurrency is trading at $0.65, reflecting an increase of 3.63% over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap. 

ADA To Witness Major Price Drop

Despite the optimistic forecast from a considerable number of Finder’s panelists regarding Cardano’s price, others have expressed opposite views, highlighting Cardano’s underperformance and inability to keep up with market expectations. 

Josh Fraser, co-founder of Origin Protocol, Cardano and Joseph Raczynski, a futurist have predicted that the price of Cardano could plummet to zero by 2030 and 2025 respectively. Numerous other panelists who share similar pessimistic sentiments have revealed that Cardano’s lack of decentralized applications and failure to achieve global adoption was one of the key factors behind its foreseeable limited price growth.
