Cardano’s native token, ADA, is holding steady at approximately $0.57, showing resilience amidst overall market fluctuations. The recent downturn didn’t dampen the enthusiasm for ADA, with trading activity and positive ecosystem progress driving renewed interest.
In a significant move, Coinbase has introduced cbADA, an Ethereum Layer 2 chain based wrapped version of Cardano’s ADA token. This initiative enables Cardano followers to explore a broader selection of DeFi protocols and is a part of Coinbase’s larger agenda to consolidate liquidity across different blockchains. Previous launches include cbETH and the latest cbLTC for Litecoin.
Supported 1:1 by ADA stored in Coinbase’s custody, cbADA offers complete proof-of-reserves for transparency. This development may enhance ADA’s visibility across DeFi platforms such as Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and Aerodrome. Additionally, Cardano’s fundamentals are looking promising with a trading volume nearing $600 million and Cardano futures’ open interest surging to 1.2 billion ADA.
Currently, ADA is maintaining a strong position near $0.57, with a solid support level at $0.51. While a retest of the $0.51 level could happen, it might also present an ideal purchasing opportunity for long-term investors.
According to analyst Dan Gambardello, Cardano is preparing for a significant leap, targeting $2 as the next major milestone. He foresees a potential rally from around $0.59 to $2 in the coming weeks or months. Despite a possible dip to the $0.30-$0.40 range, the analyst remains optimistic about a significant breakout. He cites lower interest rates, rising adoption, and favorable crypto regulations as catalysts for a stronger cycle than the previous one.
However, technical indicators portray a cautious outlook for ADA, with most moving averages suggesting sell signals. The RSI is nearing oversold levels at 36.32, indicating a possible bounce in the near future. Despite being 65% off its all-time high of $3.09, investors are closely monitoring ADA for signs of recovery or a further decline.
In recent days, ADA has attempted to trend upwards but has encountered resistance around the $0.58 mark. To continue its rebound, ADA requires increased buying activity. A decisive move above $0.60-$0.62 could pave the way for additional gains.
