Despite the Price Slump, Cardano (ADA) Can Still Hit $1

While predictions for Cardano to $1 may seem like a far cry, a cryptocurrency expert has injected new life into the claims.

Cryptocurrency prices have taken a turn for the worse this week as the market continues to digest the implications of SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s statements on crypto regulation. As the dust settles, new predictions have emerged, suggesting that Cardano's price may be headed towards a new support zone.

Cardano Price Can Still Clinch $1 Despite Price Slump

Market technician Jonathan Carter in an analysis on X predicts that Cardano's price can reclaim the $1 price point in the coming months. According to Carter, the recent ADA correction will not be a hindrance for Cardano's price to reach $1.

ADA has lost a jarring 13% over the last week and trades at $0.64 in an unremarkable week for the cryptocurrency. On the daily charts, prices have generally moved sideways, underscoring a lack of investor enthusiasm.

For Carter, Cardano's recent decline has seen it fail to stay above the $0.65 support level. The analyst opined that a downtrend is the offing for the Cardano price that could see a new support zone of $0.59. Carter says the new $0.59 support zone will hurl Cardano price to reach $1.

"Despite the long correction, the price still has a chance to bounce off this support and rise towards $1," said Carter. "Otherwise, we will fall to the lower border of the broadening wedge."

While some investors are eyeing an ADA bounce to $0.70, a plausible play will be a slump below $0.60 before the start of a rally.

A Slew Of Positives For ADA

Despite the pervading negative sentiment around ADA price, the cryptocurrency has a wave of positive fundamentals going for it. Cardano price spiked following Charles Hoskinson's confirmation of Ripple's RLUSD on ADA.

Furthermore, Charles Hoskinson reveals that Cardano will play a major role in Bitcoin decentralized finance (DeFi) application. In more positive technicals, Cardano price is forming a cyclical pattern from 2024 that can send prices to astronomical proportions in May.

While the prediction pegged prices at $2.5, optimists say ADA price to $10 is not a crazy hypothesis. The report cites present solid fundamentals and ADA's over 1,000% spike to set its all-time high back in 2021 as pointers for the seismic rally to $10.
