Cardano (ADA) Reclaims a Key Resistance—Is a Major Rally About to Begin?

As the crypto bulls gain strength, Cardano (ADA) price is reviving bullish hopes as it reclaims multi-year resistance levels. This has sparked discussions about whether the third-generation token is preparing for a broader trend reversal. With improving on-chain data and technicals pointing towards a bullish continuation, the ADA price is believed to begin to resemble early-stage breakout patterns seen in the previous cycle. 

ADA Flips Key Resistance—Market Structure Turns Favorable

For the past few months, the Cardano price has remained stuck within a steep bearish trend after failing to retain levels above $1. With the market’s structure becoming bearish every day, the price continued to break every support and also plunged below the multi-year support that it had held since 2024. However, the ADA price staged an impressive recovery over the past 48 hours, climbing back above a key resistance level after overcoming a period of steady consolidation. 

Now that the price is printing higher highs and lows in the short term, Cardano seems to be breaking through the ceiling. As the market outlook seems to have shifted toward a more constructive outlook, the question arises whether this reclaim is a trend-change signal.

The ADA price formed a double-bottom pattern and reached the neckline. The token is consolidating around the range, and despite a rise, it has not yet validated the bullish divergence. The indicators suggest the crypto is juggling between accumulation and distribution, with the volumes remaining drained to the lower range. The liquidity seems to be flowing out of the token, but the DMI indicates the token is bracing for a breakout. 

The +Di & -Di are approaching a bullish crossover, and if validated, the Cardano price is set to initiate a strong comeback. 

What’s Next for the ADA Price Rally?

After printing a couple of bullish candles, the bears have again begun to exert some pressure on the rally. However, the Cardano fundamentals remain strong as GitHub commits and core updates remain consistently high. This strong development baseline reinforces investor confidence, even in times of high volatility. The major hurdle for Cardano to clear is around $0.52, which had been a strong base until the November crash. 

However, the bulls cannot regain control of the rally until it secures the range above $0.75. Cardano’s reclaim of a key resistance level, rising whale accumulation, and consistently strong developer activity suggest that ADA may be entering an early-stage bullish phase. While upside targets remain contingent on broader market conditions, the groundwork for a move toward $0.70–$0.80 appears to be forming.
