Cardano (ADA) Price Faces Final Dip Before Rally to $1.70

Amid the broader market sell-off, Cardano’s native cryptocurrency ADA has come under some selling pressure dropping 5% in the last 24 hours and currently trading at around $0.58. With the Cardano (ADA) price dropping 20% on the monthly, it has largely underperformed the altcoin space dropping to the tenth spot on the crypto list.

Will Cardano (ADA) Price Reverse the Trajectory?

In a recent analysis, crypto expert Ali Martinez has drawn parallels between the current price action of Cardano (ADA) and a pattern observed from 2018 to 2021. Martinez suggests that if this fractal pattern persists, ADA could undergo a consolidation phase within the $0.55 to $0.80 range in the upcoming weeks.

Subsequently, Martinez anticipates a surge in ADA’s price to reach $1.70. Following this potential upswing, another period of consolidation is expected, laying the groundwork for a potential breakout towards the $5 mark.

Thus, we might see some further pullback in the Cardano price to $0.55 before resuming the uptrend. Cardano’s laggard performance this year has pushed it under other altcoins such as Dogecoin, and more recently Toncoin.

Previously, analyst Chris O has also stated that he expects the crypto market to double in this bull run reaching the heights of $6-$7 trillion. As a result, he had also laid out a bullish price target for Cardano with the expectations of the ADA price reaching to $6.66 to $7.77.

Charles Hosking Defends ADA Amid Recent Attacks

Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Input Output Global Inc., has defended Cardano against criticism, asserting that the protocol offers unparalleled scalability, governance, and innovation. Hoskinson made his remarks in a post on the social media platform X, emphasizing Cardano’s strengths and its vibrant community.

Hoskinson’s comments come shortly after Grayscale Investments, a leading crypto asset manager, removed ADA from its Crypto Large Cap Fund. Grayscale described the removal as a “rebalancing” action, involving the sale of ADA tokens to reinvest in other fund components.

Some critics view Grayscale’s move as a sign of Cardano’s decline. Earlier in January, a research firm suggested that the Cardano network lacks meaningful use cases, casting doubt on ADA’s future prospects. However, Hoskinson’s assertion contradicts these claims, highlighting Cardano’s ongoing development and potential for growth.
