Cardano (ADA) Holding Key Level Despite 14% Drop, $1.30 Next?

In the past day, Cardano (ADA) has seen a 14% retrace amid the crypto market’s pullback. The cryptocurrency recently saw its price lose the $1 mark, descending below $0.90 on Monday morning. Despite the drop, some market watchers shared a positive outlook for ADA, asserting that a rebound to $1.30 could be around the corner.

Cardano Holds Key Higher Timeframe Support

Cardano, alongside the rest of the market, ended the week with a Sunday bleeding, registering seven consecutive red candles yesterday afternoon. The market pullback continued Monday morning, with Bitcoin (BTC) losing the $100,000 support for the first time in over a week.

As the market correction persisted, ADA’s price lost the $0.90 support, hovering between the $0.85-$0.89 range before recovering. Almost two weeks ago, Cardano bounced from the $0.90 support to reclaim the $1 resistance.

During this jump, the cryptocurrency surged to its 2025 high but failed to break past the $1.18 resistance level, sending ADA into a downtrend. Since then, the altcoin has failed to turn the $1 resistance into support, hovering between $0.95-$1.02.

The recent drop sent Cardano to a two-week low price and back to its end-of-year range of $0.83-$0.95. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency’s price remains above crucial levels, as some market watchers noted.

AMCrypto highlighted that after its 5% recovery from today’s low, ADA was back to its 2-day support level. To the analyst, there is “no need to panic” if Cardano holds the $0.80 support zone.

This zone was 2024’s Q1 high, and it has served as a key higher timeframe level, fueling the altcoin’s rally once it has been turned into support in 2021 and late 2024. AMCrypto noted that “For alts to retest major support levels during a bull run is a good sign.”

ADA To Reclaim $1 Soon?

Other analysts shared similar predictions, suggesting that Cardano’s run would be determined by its next price move. Carl Runefelt stated that “despite the market correction, ADA is still holding on to this massive bullish pennant.”

The analyst pointed out that ADA’s chart displays a 2-month bullish formation that targets $1.9 if it breaks out. However, he noted that the first target is the local top of $1.30. Runefelt explained that “if the support holds, we could see a bullish breakout at some point.”

Meanwhile, ADA trader Sebastian considers that Cardano needs to close the day above $0.95. He stated it “would be amazing for ADA if this last daily candle turns green” and closes within the symmetrical triangle.

Previously, Sebastian noted that ADA’s “painful consolidation might soon be over,” as the cryptocurrency was “running out of space within this symmetrical triangle and might break out soon.”

To the trader, If Cardano gets “back in the chart,” then the recent breakdown will “be busted and will likely result in a pump to the upside.”

As of this writing, ADA is trading at $0.90, an 8% decline in the last 24 hours.

Her goal as a writer is to create informative, complete, and easily understandable pieces accessible to those entering the crypto space. After learning about cryptocurrencies in 2019, Rubmar became curious about the world of possibilities the industry offered, quickly learning that financial freedom was at the palm of her hand with the developing technology.

From a young age, Rubmar was curious about how languages work, finding special interest in wordplay and the peculiarities of dialects. Her curiosity grew as she became an avid reader in her teenage years. She explored freedom and new words through her favorite books, which shaped her view of the world. Rubmar acquired the necessary skills for in-depth research and analytical thinking at university, where she studied Literature and Linguistics. Her studies have given her a sharp perspective on several topics and allowed her to turn every stone in her investigations.

In 2019, she first dipped her toes in the crypto industry when a friend introduced her to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but it wasn’t until 2020 that she started to dive into the depth of the industry. As Rubmar began to understand the mechanics of the crypto sphere, she saw a new world yet to be explored.

At the beginning of her crypto voyage, she discovered a new system that allowed her to have control over her finances. As a young adult of the 21st century, Rubmar has faced the challenges of the traditional banking system and the restrictions of fiat money.

After the failure of her home country’s economy, the limitations of traditional finances became clear. The bureaucratic, outdated structure made her feel hopeless and powerless amid an aggressive and distorted system created by hyperinflation. However, learning about decentralization and self-custody opened a realm of opportunities. Cryptocurrencies allowed her to experience financial control for the first time and expand her financial education.

Moreover, the peculiar nature of the crypto community sparked Rubmar’s curiosity about the other layers of the industry. As a result, she found a particular interest in discovering the diverse perspectives of investors, market watchers, experts, and developers. Her attempts to better understand the crypto space made her realize the strong links of the community with other industries, enriching her perspective of the sector. As someone who spends most of her day online, Rubmar enjoys finding the points where the crypto world meets with her other passions and hobbies –or her favorite memes.

In her free time, she usually finds joy in different art forms. As a child, she enlisted in every extra-curricular activity in her hometown, including music classes, dancing, jewelry making, and the local chorus. Despite her many attempts to learn different instruments, Rubmar only knows how to play the xylophone, which she played for 7 years in her school’s marching band.

She also has a passion for learning new languages and cultures, having set the goal to learn another six languages – currently attempting to learn Italian and Korean. Scrapbooking, paper crafting, and bookbinding are her biggest interests outside of work, constantly taking classes and attending workshops to learn new techniques. The rest of her free time is spent stressing over football matches and transfer market news or feeding cats –hers or stray.

In summary, Rubmar seeks to present entertaining and educational pieces to be enjoyed by everybody, aiming to report on the latest news and offer a unique perspective while adding a meme or a pun whenever possible.
