Cardano (ADA) Surges 5% Amid Market Recovery, Breaks Bullish Formation

Cardano (ADA) has experienced a notable 5% daily surge, retesting the $0.66 level amidst a broader market recovery. This price movement has led ADA to break out of a bullish formation, potentially propelling it towards a key resistance zone. On Tuesday, Cardano followed Bitcoin’s price jump and climbed to the $0.66 resistance, attempting to break above this level for the third time this month. ADA has been in a downtrend since hitting its 3-year high of $1.32 in December 2024, retracing over 50% in the past four months.

In March, the cryptocurrency surged 80% toward the $1.17 mark, driven by the initial announcement of a “Crypto Strategic Reserve” by US President Donald Trump, which included ADA, XRP, and Solana (SOL). However, after the White House’s Crypto Czar, David Sacks, clarified that the listed cryptocurrencies were used as examples of leading tokens, ADA’s price retraced to the $0.70-$0.80 range. Amid the late March retraces, Cardano lost the $0.70 mark, falling to the $0.50-$0.55 zone in early April. This month, the cryptocurrency has retested the $0.66 level but has been rejected twice. Today, it attempted to break this level again but was rejected a third time. Nonetheless, analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that ADA has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern amid its current performance.

Cardano has been consolidating within a symmetrical triangle formation throughout April, setting the stage for a 27% price move. After surging above the $0.63 mark, ADA broke out of the pattern, eyeing a surge toward the $0.77 resistance next. Analyst Sebastian noted that the cryptocurrency “is brewing,” as it’s moving within a four-month descending channel. ADA has bounced toward the upper boundary, which has served as resistance, each time it has retested the lower trendline as support. After the recent drop to $0.50, Cardano could retest the upper boundary soon, at around the $0.80 price range. Moreover, the analyst pointed out that the token is currently breaking out of an Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern within the descending channel, which could see the cryptocurrency surge toward the key resistance level.

Another market watcher suggested that the cryptocurrency could be following its 2020-2021 pattern. According to the chart, once ADA broke out of its bear market rally levels, it reached a new cycle high, followed by a retest of the bear market rally as support. After breaking out of the downtrend, it rallied toward its all-time high (ATH) of $3.09 in the coming months. “If ADA broke out this week and followed the same pattern as last cycle, it would be on track to hit a new ATH in the middle of August,” the analyst asserted. Meanwhile, Dan Gambardello affirmed that Cardano’s biggest resistance is at the $3 mark, “where a lot of people have regret for not selling last cycle.” The analyst forecasted that once ADA hits ATH levels, its pump “will probably pause in that general area with a lot of volatility, and then continue to $5. It’ll be like a crypto bus stop.”
