Analyst Reveals How Cardano Price Can Reach New Highs
Crypto analyst Trend Rider has revealed the two paths that the Cardano price can follow to reach new highs. This comes amid ADA’s underperformance, with the crypto token currently one of the worst-performing crypto assets since the start of the year.
How Cardano Price Can Reach New Highs
Trend Rider highlighted two paths that the ADA price can follow to reach new highs. He claimed that if Bitcoin holds above $60,000, then path A will happen. The chart he shared showed that path A means that the Cardano price will record a price surge to $0.6 without experiencing any further downtrend before moving to the upside.
Meanwhile, path B involves ADA dropping to the liquidation zone at $0.24 before it begins its uptrend. Trend Rider noted that this would be the crash scenario for the ultimate entry. A price correction to that level could help shake out weak hands and ensure that Cardano is well-prepared to begin its bull run.
For now, the path B looks more likely to happen. According to a CoinGape analysis, the Bitcoin price is likely to slip below $60,000 following worrying NFP data. Therefore, ADA is expected to witness a significant price decline alongside the flagship crypto.
ADA has had a bearish outlook since the start of the year. The coin is currently one of the worst-performing assets this year, with a year-to-date (YTD) gain of over 12%. There were high expectations for Cardano heading into October, considering that the crypto witnessed its first ever monthly green candle in September last month.
However, Cardano hasn’t gotten off to a great start this month, although this is partly thanks to the bearish sentiment in the broader crypto market.
On-chain Metrics Paint Mixed Sentiment
On-chain metrics suggest that investors currently have a mixed sentiment towards Cardano. IntoTheBlock data shows a slight increase in the crypto’s large transactions these few days. This indicates that crypto whales are actively accumulating ADA tokens. These whales have traded 17.67 billion ADA in the last 24 hours.
However, the ‘In The Money’ metric is currently bearish as the number of addresses currently holding ADA at a profit has dropped to 17.59%. The crypto could face more downward pressure if the 77.34% addresses at a loss begin to sell their holdings in order cut their losses. $0.22 remains the most crucial support level for the Cardano price as 539,210 addresses bought 5.42 billion ADA at that level.
At the time of writing, the Cardano price is at around $0.35, up over 3% in the last 24 hours. Trading volume is down over 23%, with $237 million traded during this period.
