Cardano (ADA) is gaining attention again, and traders are asking one big question: Can it break the $1 mark this year? After a long period of slow movement, some analysts now believe ADA could be gearing up for a major run — but not before a possible dip.
Here’s why Cardano could hit $1.
According to popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Cardano has been stuck inside a downward price channel for most of 2025. Right now, it’s trading around $0.56. But based on Martinez’s chart, there’s a chance it could fall toward $0.47 — a key support zone before it bounces back.
However, if ADA holds that level and gains strength, Martinez believes the price could climb back toward $1 in the months ahead.
Adding more excitement, crypto trader Smith has pointed out a pattern forming on Cardano’s chart that looks similar to a past breakout, one that gave ADA a 240% boost.
If history repeats, he says ADA could target $2.60, a huge jump from its current price.
Cardano’s growth isn’t just relying on charts; its network is growing stronger too. Its layer-2 Hydra solution recently showed the ability to handle nearly 1 million transactions per second.
Meanwhile, DeFi apps are also growing on Cardano, with fewer failed transactions than rival platforms like Solana.
Excitement is also building over a possible Cardano ETF. Prediction market Polymarket shows a 76% chance of SEC approval by late 2025. Experts like Eric Balchunas put the odds even higher, above 90%.
An approved ETF could bring in big investors and push ADA prices higher.
Cardano also leads in positive community votes on CoinMarketCap, with over 90% bullish sentiment. It’s a strong sign that traders are hopeful, even if the path to $1 or $2.60 won’t be easy.
According to our Cardano price prediction, the altcoin’s price could hit a maximum of $2.05 in 2025.
As per our latest ADA price analysis, Cardano could reach a maximum price of $69.33.
By 2050, a single Cardano price could go as high as $329.56.
