Cardano Remains In Consolidation – Expert Projects 25% Price Move

Source Newsbtc

Cardano is trading above key demand levels after experiencing a volatile Friday. The market reacted sharply to the news of Bybit’s $1.4 billion hack, causing widespread fear and uncertainty. Prices across the crypto market, including Cardano, dropped from local highs, testing critical support levels. ADA fell over 7% on Friday as panic-driven selling took hold, but the market has since stabilized as Bybit reassured investors with a strong response.

Despite the short-term volatility, analysts remain optimistic about ADA’s next move. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared a technical analysis on X, revealing that Cardano remains in a consolidation phase and is setting up for a potential 25% price move. Historically, consolidation at key demand levels has led to strong breakouts, and if ADA maintains support above its current range, a bullish move could follow.

Investors are closely watching the price action as ADA continues to trade within a tight range. If bullish momentum builds, a breakout could send Cardano toward higher supply zones, confirming a new upward trend. However, if market sentiment weakens, a deeper retrace into lower demand levels may occur. The next few days will be crucial in determining Cardano’s short-term direction.

Cardano Holds Key Demand Amid Uncertainty

Cardano is holding above key demand levels amid recent uncertainty and fear triggered by Bybit’s hack. The event shook the market, causing a wave of selling pressure that pushed most altcoins, including ADA, into low demand levels. The extreme selling pressure that began in late December remains a concern for investors, as volatility continues to dominate price action. Despite this, ADA has managed to maintain its position above critical support zones, fueling speculation about a possible recovery.

Bulls are growing increasingly cautious as ADA struggles to reclaim key supply levels. Many investors remain hopeful that the current consolidation phase will lead to a breakout. Martinez’s analysis on X suggests that Cardano remains in consolidation and could be setting up for a potential 25% price move. Historically, periods of extended consolidation at major support levels have led to explosive rallies, and ADA’s current positioning could indicate a major move is on the horizon.

If Cardano successfully reclaims key supply levels and pushes above resistance zones, a massive recovery rally could follow, propelling prices toward multi-month highs. However, losing its current demand zone could trigger a significant correction, further extending ADA’s downward trend. The next few days will be crucial in determining the direction of Cardano’s price action.

ADA Prepares For A Move

Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.76 after failing to reclaim the $0.82 mark for the second time. The price has been struggling to gain momentum, with selling pressure keeping it below key resistance levels. Bulls need to push above $0.82 and hold it as support to establish a foundation for higher prices. If ADA successfully reclaims this level, the next key target is $0.85, which aligns with the 4-hour 200 moving average, a critical indicator for short-term strength and momentum.

For ADA to confirm a bullish recovery, buyers must defend the $0.73 level over the coming days. Holding above this level will demonstrate strength and allow the price to build a base for a potential rally. However, if Cardano fails to hold above $0.73, further downside could be expected, with the risk of a drop into lower demand zones.

Investors remain cautious as ADA continues to trade within a tight range, and a breakout in either direction could set the stage for the next major move. If bulls manage to reclaim key resistance levels, a strong recovery rally could follow. However, failure to break above resistance could keep ADA trapped in consolidation for an extended period.
