Cardano Rises 11% on Strong Open Interest and Macd Crossover BlockDag Targets $0.05 With $374M Presale

Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), and BlockDAG (BDAG) have all emerged as key players in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape, each demonstrating distinct momentum and strategic initiatives. Cardano has seen a notable rise, advancing over 11% in the past week and currently trading above $0.82 after rebounding from a critical support level at $0.70. This resurgence is supported by strong futures open interest, which has reached $1.44 billion—the highest since late July—indicating renewed market confidence. Technical indicators such as a bullish MACD crossover and a golden cross between the 50-day and 100-day moving averages further reinforce the upward trajectory. Large holders have also contributed to the rally, with wallets holding between 100 million to 1 billion ADA accumulating 200 million coins in just two days [1]. Analysts project that a sustained breakout above $0.84 could lead to potential targets at $0.93 and even $1 in the near term, while longer-term forecasts suggest a possible move to $5–$10 if key upgrades like the Midnight Upgrade are successful [1].

Polkadot (DOT) continues to build on its recent price recovery, with the token rising over 4% to $4.12 after consolidating in the $3.84–$3.86 range. The breakout above $3.92, supported by strong trading volume and over 7 million in trading activity, confirms renewed accumulation. Developer activity remains a strong pillar for DOT, with the network ranking 8th in core development and 2nd in ecosystem progress behind only Ethereum. The price action has formed an ascending channel, and Fibonacci retracement levels suggest potential targets between $4.15–$4.20 if the current momentum holds [1]. A concentrated surge in trading volume between 15:23 and 15:28 UTC pushed DOT above $4.06, reinforcing the likelihood of further gains provided the structure remains intact [1].

Meanwhile, BlockDAG (BDAG) has distinguished itself as a presale project with a rapidly growing user base and strong infrastructure. The project has raised over $374 million in its presale, with a current Batch 29 price of $0.0276 and an expected launch price of $0.05. The X1 mobile app has attracted 2.5 million active miners, offering a Proof-of-Engagement model that allows users to mine BDAG using smartphones, eliminating the need for expensive hardware. X10 plug-and-play miners further enhance scalability by enabling up to 200 BDAG per day [2]. BlockDAG has also secured high-profile sports partnerships with the Seattle Seawolves in Major League Rugby and the Seattle Orcas in Major League Cricket, introducing fan tokens, NFTs, and digital experiences into mainstream sports [2].

The project’s Dashboard V4 provides a real-time interface for price tracking, wallet functions, and competitive leaderboards, creating a user-friendly and transparent ecosystem. With 20 confirmed exchange listings, BlockDAG is poised for immediate liquidity and global adoption upon its official launch [2]. Analysts highlight the combination of presale success, a robust miner network, and strategic partnerships as key indicators of the project’s potential to become a leading contender in 2025 [2].

ADA and DOT remain strong performers due to their established reputations and technical resilience, but BlockDAG’s proactive approach to building a fully functional ecosystem before launch sets it apart. The project is not merely capitalizing on market trends but actively laying the groundwork for long-term adoption and visibility [2]. For investors seeking projects with clear fundamentals and scalable infrastructure, BlockDAG has emerged as a compelling option, offering immediate liquidity and a clear path toward global engagement [2].
