Amid the market recovery, Cardano (ADA) has seen a 5% daily surge to retest the $0.66 level. Its recent price action has led the cryptocurrency to break out of a bullish formation, which could propel ADA to a key resistance zone.

Cardano Breakout Eyes 27% Move

On Tuesday, Cardano followed Bitcoin’s price jump and climbed to the $0.66 resistance, attempting to break above the key level for the third time this month. ADA has been in a downtrend since hitting its 3-year high of $1.32 in December 2024, retracing over 50% in the past four months.

In March, the cryptocurrency surged 80% toward the $1.17 mark, driven by US President Donald Trump’s initial announcement of a “Crypto Strategic Reserve” comprised of ADA, XRP, and Solana (SOL).

However, after the White House’s Crypto Czar, David Sacks, explained that the listed cryptocurrencies were used as an example of leading tokens, ADA’s price retraced to the $0.70-$0.80 range.

Amid the late March retraces, Cardano lost the $0.70 mark, falling to the $0.50-$0-55 zone in early April. This month, the cryptocurrency has retested the $0.66 level but has been rejected twice.

Today, it attempted to break this level again but was rejected a third time. Nonetheless, analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that ADA has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern amid its current performance.

Cardano has been consolidating within a symmetrical triangle formation throughout April, setting the stage for a 27% price move. After surging above the $0.63 mark, ADA broke out of the pattern, eyeing a surge toward the $0.77 resistance next.

ADA Preparing For Key Retests

Analyst Sebastian noted that the cryptocurrency “is brewing,” as it’s moving within a four-month descending channel. ADA has bounced toward the upper boundary, which has served as resistance, each time it has retested the lower trendline as support.

After the recent drop to $0.50, Cardano could retest the upper boundary soon, at around the $0.80 price range. Moreover, the analyst pointed out that the token is currently breaking out of an Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern within the descending channel, which could see the cryptocurrency surge toward the key resistance level.

Another market watcher suggested that the cryptocurrency could be following its 2020-2021 pattern. According to the chart, once ADA broke out of its bear market rally levels, it reached a new cycle high, followed by a retest of the bear market rally as support.

After breaking out of the downtrend, it rallied toward its all-time high (ATH) of $3.09 in the coming months. “If ADA broke out this week and followed the same pattern as last cycle, it would be on track to hit a new ATH in the middle of August,” the analyst asserted.

Meanwhile, Dan Gambardello affirmed that Cardano’s biggest resistance is at the $3 mark, “where a lot of people have regret for not selling last cycle.” The analyst forecasted that once ADA hits ATH levels, its pump “will probably pause in that general area with a lot of volatility, and then continue to $5. It’ll be like a crypto bus stop.”

The crypto market spent most of March on a steady downtrend. Cryptocurrency prices across the board struggled on a downfall as investor caution and a lack of momentum suppressed the bullish narrative that dominated January and early February. With April just beginning, attention has turned to what lies ahead. 

Technical indicators are pointing to both uptrends and downtrends, but a major conversation is taking shape off the charts that could reset the trajectory of the entire crypto space. According to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, there are two key regulatory developments that could mark a turning point for crypto adoption and open the door for billions of new users almost overnight.

Hoskinson Predicts Tech Giants Will Adopt Cryptocurrency

In a recent episode of the “The Wolf Of All Streets” podcast hosted by Scott Melker, Charles Hoskinson outlined a scenario where two bills currently being debated in the U.S. Senate, one on stablecoins and the other on market structure, could change the crypto industries. He argued that once these frameworks are passed, major tech companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft will have the legal clarity and infrastructure to integrate crypto wallets directly into their platforms. “Once those two bills pass, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, are going to say hey, we’re crypto people now,” Hoskinson said.

These companies already possess the infrastructure to onboard new crypto users: massive user bases, global infrastructure, payment processing tools, and familiarity with digital wallets. Once regulations provide a clear path forward, these tech companies will easily allow their users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies without leaving their ecosystems. This move wouldn’t be a gradual progress but a sudden leap into mass adoption that would unlock access to a userbase of over 3 billion users around the world.

The 3 Billion User Effect: What Will This Mean For The Crypto Industry?

The stablecoin legislation, formally titled the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy (STABLE) Act of 2025, is a proposal aimed at establishing clear rules for how stablecoins are issued and backed. It also seeks to amend existing federal securities laws to clarify that payment stablecoins should not be treated as securities. Although the exact timeline for when the bill will be passed is uncertain, Charles Hoskinson believes it will be passed within the next 60 to 90 days.

Once passed, the STABLE Act, alongside the market structure bill, will form the regulatory groundwork for widespread crypto adoption. On a basic level, it would allow major tech companies to integrate stablecoin payments into their platforms, letting users easily pay for services or products using stablecoins. On the higher end, these tech companies could eventually serve as intermediaries between users and crypto exchanges or even take on roles similar to exchanges themselves.

A user base of 3 billion users will bring with it not only increased trading volume but also growth in use cases, liquidity, and investment interest. It would shift crypto from a smaller sector into mainstream financial infrastructure.

A crypto analyst says deep-pocketed investors are snapping up the top layer-1 platform Ethereum (ETH) amid the marketwide digital asset correction.

Trader Ali Martinez tells his 132,900 followers on the social media platform X that whales gobbled up more than $815.514 million worth of ETH in less than a week.

“Whales have bought more than 420,000 Ethereum ETH in [five days]!”

Martinez is also keeping a close watch on Ethereum’s In/Out of the Money Around Price (IOMAP) metric – which classifies crypto addresses as either profiting, breaking even, or losing money – to determine support and resistance levels for ETH.

According to Martinez, ETH is currently trading in a narrow range between stiff support and resistance zones.

“Ethereum ETH key levels to watch! On-chain data reveals $1,870 as the strongest support and $2,050 as its toughest resistance!”

At time of writing, ETH is trading for $1,941.

Turning to Bitcoin (BTC), the trader believes that the crypto king is poised to witness tactical rallies after breaching the horizontal resistance of an ascending triangle pattern.

“Bitcoin BTC is breaking out! The target is $90,000 as long as the $84,000 support holds.”

An ascending triangle pattern may be considered a bullish reversal structure if the asset soars above its horizontal resistance.

At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $84,288.

Turning to Ethereum rival Cardano, the analyst predicts rallies for ADA if the altcoin takes out the diagonal resistance of a triangle pattern at around $0.75.

“Cardano ADA is about to break free! Busting out of this triangle will trigger a 15% price move.”

A triangle is typically viewed as a consolidation pattern as it signals a potential breakout in either direction. The asset is considered bullish if the price moves above the diagonal resistance and bearish if it tumbles below the diagonal trend line.

At time of writing, ADA is worth $0.744.
