Widely followed analyst Michaël van de Poppe believes it’s only a matter of time before Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins regain their bullish momentum.

The trader tells his 759,000 followers on the social media platform X that he thinks Bitcoin and altcoins are close to carving a local bottom.

According to Van de Poppe, crypto will witness renewed rallies once the market pullback is over.

“The correction is almost over and the time for up only is on the horizon for altcoins and Bitcoin.

Expecting a lot to come.

The optimal entries for longs on Bitcoin are around $90,000 and we’re getting those.” 

Looking at Bitcoin itself, the crypto strategist thinks BTC will continue to see lackluster performance until US President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

“The scenario on Bitcoin remains the same.

I’m still expecting that we’ll see some more downward momentum pre-Trump and return upwards from there.

The ideal area is around $90,000.”

At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $93,855.

As for the native asset of the popular layer-1 platform Cardano, Van de Poppe thinks ADA is in the process of bottoming out. He also predicts that ADA will print a new all-time high late this year or in 2026.

“The scenario remains the same.

Pretty heavy run upwards and a 40% correction.

I think we’re getting towards the end of this correction, through which I’m expecting a new leg up for things like ADA.”

At time of writing, ADA is worth $0.85.

The Cardano price action has continued to stall below the $1 mark in light of corrections in the past seven days. This correction, which played out across the entire crypto industry, saw Cardano break below the $1 mark again on December 18%. 

Although the broader trend suggests a possible move on the weekly timeframe towards a new all-time high (ATH), recent technical analysis on TradingView has opened up the possibility for a continued correction towards $0.43 before another strong upward move.

Current Price Movements Highlight Resistance And Cooling Period

According to technical analysis of the Cardano (ADA) price action on the weekly candlestick timeframe, the cryptocurrency has encountered notable resistance around the $1.2046 mark. This resistance has emerged after Cardano’s remarkable 205% surge from $0.4322 in late October to $1.32 in late November.

Interestingly, this remarkable price surge saw Cardano form significant lows that serve as support levels for the price. Furthermore, the rally ended up with Cardano entering the overbought zone on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator. The rally culminated in the Cardano price peaking at 82.87 on the RSI, but it has since retraced into a cooling/corrective period where buying pressure is consolidating at the time of writing.

Cardano’s consolidation has opened up outlooks as to its next direction, with substantial buying volumes observed in recent trading sessions.

Deep Correction Could Test Critical Support At $0.43

While the long-term outlook remains bullish, the analysis highlights the scenario of a deep correction that could send the Cardano price falling further in the short term. With this in mind, the analyst points to support levels that ADA may revisit in the event of a deeper correction. The first key level at $0.7683 has already proven its significance, acting as a reactionary zone in recent price movements.

Below this, $0.4322 stands as the ultimate support for the current bullish leg. What this means is that ADA has to hold above the $0.43 support level in order for a bullish trajectory to remain valid. Failure to hold above $0.43 is likely to cascade into more price declines at this point and a change into bearish outlook.

The analyst also identifies $0.3166 and $0.2427 as primary supports. These levels are Cardano’s lowest support during the previous bear market and are considered less likely to be breached in case of a longer-term decline.

Despite the potential for a deep correction, Cardano’s recent market behavior and buying trends suggest a promising long-term outlook. At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.912 and has increased by 2% in the past 24 hours. Once the current resistance at $1.2046 is cleared, ADA is well-positioned to challenge its $3.09 all-time high and possibly establish new highs in the current cycle.

A widely followed crypto analyst is identifying the downside price target for smart contract platform Cardano (ADA) if it undergoes another correction.

In a new video update, crypto strategist Benjamin Cowen tells his 849,000 YouTube subscribers that if the Federal Reserve doesn’t bring back quantitative easing (QE), then ADA could continue to slip.

“There’s also a chance [ADA] could go lower, especially if it follows what it did last cycle… If it were to drop 56%, that would actually put you below $0.60, which is right where it went last time…

There’s always a chance that it comes back down to [the $0.357 price level], because [Fed Chair Jerome] Powell just says ‘no QE, continue on playing in the sandbox and the cryptoverse and we’ll give you QE sometime later.’ There’s a chance that happens.”

Quantitative easing is when a government’s central bank purchases financial assets to increase the money supply and stimulate economic activity.

Cowen goes on to say that ADA’s technical indicators, such as its 20-week simple moving average (SMA) and 21-week exponential moving average (EMA), are lining up with the theory that the crypto asset could see another sizeable dip.

“The other thing to look at is the bull market support band. The bull market support band for ADA to Bitcoin – you can see that first of all, it wicked below it [in mid 2023] but it had a weekly close right around the 20-week SMA. [Earlier this year] it was just above the 21-week EMA, so I would also keep an eye on that.

The 20-week SMA for ADA is around $0.56 [and] the 21-week EMA is around $0.67, so that would also correspond to [a price tag of around $0.53].”

ADA is trading for $0.89 at time of writing, a 3% increase during the last day. On December 2nd, it was valued at $1.21.
