Will ADA Hit $5 Or Will Solana Be The Standout?

After a memorable end to 2024 where ADA price hit $1.2 for the first time in three years, Cardano holders are expecting yet another bumper year in 2025.

Cardano (ADA) price dropped below a key technical support level this week, sparking concerns among investors. The token, which enjoyed a strong 2024, has lost over 10% of its value in the past week alone.

As reported by CoinGecko, ADA opened the week trading at $1.13. However, it faced strong resistance at the $1.18 level, failing to break through and close the week down 10.3% at $1.03.

The token’s failure to close above $1.18 aligns with technical indicators, which suggest that ADA might be due for a bearish week. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is below the neutral line, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also bearish.

But some analysts remain optimistic about ADA’s long-term prospects. One renowned technical analyst, who goes by the name of DonAlt, noted this week that the current price dip is just “a small blip.”

“This is the kind of market where the price is still finding its feet, but the long-term potential is undeniable,” he noted, adding that ADA’s token is just beginning its ascent.

Meanwhile, other major-cap cryptocurrencies also had a mixed week. Bitcoin (BTC) price dropped below $46,000 on Monday, hitting a two-week low. However, the flagship digital asset recovered later in the week and was trading around $47,000 at the time of writing.

Ethereum (ETH) price also dipped in the past week, falling from a high of $3,900 on Monday to lows of $3,600 by Thursday. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap was trading at $3,680 at the time of writing.

Finally, Solana (SOL) price also dipped in the past week, finding support around $174. Despite the dip, SOL is still aligned with the cup and handle pattern, which signals massive gains in Q1.
