Cardano's Do-or-Die Moment: Will $0.67 Hold For The Eighth Time?

• ADA eyes bounce from key $0.67 support, needing a 4H close above for reversal, but macro uncertainty poses risk.
• Cardano proponent sees unique long-term chart pattern signaling major future price increase, emphasizing patience.
• Cardano enables secure, trustless Bitcoin yield via Midnight (privacy) and Midgard (staking), no bridges needed.

Cardano’s short-term trading setup looks promising as traders eye a bounce off a key support trendline. ADA’s current price is hovering close to this support line around $0.67. Historical trends say when the price reached this line, buying pressure intensified and the price bounced upwards. However, for trend reversal, ADA needs to close a 4-hour candlestick above $0.67.

While ADA’s short-term outlook leans towards bullish, the growing macro uncertainty is leading to uneasiness among traders. The ongoing geopolitical tensions between the US and China trade war might derail the anticipated ADA breakout due to risk aversion in the markets.

To put it simply, this cautious behavior among investors makes it difficult for risk assets like cryptocurrencies (including ADA) to experience significant bullish breakouts, even if the technical setup looks encouraging.

Bitcoin Staking Arrives Securely on Cardano

On the other hand, Cardano proponent Dan Gambardello is doubling down on the significance of looking at the broader price history of the token on a larger timeframe. The pattern formed over this extended period is seen in a positive light. Gambardello believes it is unique and is a strong signal of a major future price increase.

There is no chart like the zoomed-out chart on Cardano. It will look so obvious in hindsight. The most important ingredient is patience.

In a significant development, ADA users will be able to earn yield on Bitcoin without the assistance of any third party or wrapped assets (like wrapped Bitcoin—wBTC). Earlier, earning yield needed complex protocols like Lightning Network nodes or lending platforms. In essence, these cross-chain interactions will no longer involve “bridges” or other protocols, thus increasing security and efficiency.

Reportedly, Cardano’s Midnight, a privacy-focused sidechain, will ensure privacy by potentially hiding transaction details or user identities involved in the process. Furthermore, Midgard, an ADA protocol that oversees Bitcoin staking functionality, will allow users to lock their Bitcoin and earn rewards.
