Ethereum News Today: A Risk Score Strategy Shapes Cardano's Bull Market Exit Plan

Cardano (ADA) has recently drawn attention from investors and analysts due to strategic selling plans outlined by a prominent crypto bull, Dan Gambardello, who has long supported the blockchain project. Gambardello, known for his in-depth market analysis, revealed his approach to managing ADA holdings in the current bull cycle, emphasizing the importance of preparation and discipline in navigating the volatile crypto market. Unlike his strategy in 2021, where he largely held onto ADA during upswings, Gambardello now plans to openly discuss selling and taking profits as the market progresses. His decisions are based on a proprietary "risk score" model that gauges market conditions and potential turning points for ADA and other cryptocurrencies [1].

The risk score system, which ranges from 0 to 100, is central to Gambardello’s strategy. Scores between 25 and 50 indicate moderate risk, while 50 to 75 signal high risk and 75 to 100 represent extreme risk. Gambardello noted that in past cycles, both Ethereum and Cardano reached significant turning points when their risk scores reached 75, with Ethereum peaking shortly after reaching this threshold in previous cycles. He considers 75 to be the optimal level to start scaling out of ADA positions, despite the fact that ADA has previously reached higher scores in the past. Currently, Cardano is at a risk score of 36, which Gambardello classifies as a "moderate buy," suggesting that the market is in an early bull phase [1].

In addition to the risk score model, Gambardello highlighted the $1 to $3 price range as a potential exit strategy for long-term ADA holders. He argued that securing gains between $1.40 and $2.00 is a logical step for investors who have been holding ADA for years. Furthermore, Gambardello expressed optimism about the potential for ADA to surpass its 2021 all-time high of $3.10. He stressed that if ADA’s risk score approaches 75 while the price is rising, it could serve as a strong signal to sell aggressively, based on historical patterns observed in previous bull cycles [1].

Meanwhile, market analysts have also weighed in on Cardano’s price potential. Mitrade Insights suggested that ADA could return to the $2 range by 2025, driven by increased whale activity and favorable technical patterns. Whale accumulation, with over 150 million ADA tokens added to large wallets in recent weeks, has helped stabilize prices around $0.85 and reduced downside risk. This accumulation suggests growing confidence among major investors, who are likely preparing for a potential breakout. The technical outlook is also positive, with a symmetrical triangle pattern forming on ADA’s chart. A breakout from this pattern could push the price past key resistance levels toward the $1.50 to $2.00 range [2].

Fundamental developments in the Cardano ecosystem, including decentralized governance and scalability improvements, also support a bullish case for ADA. The project’s energy-efficient proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and active developer community are seen as key drivers of long-term value. Analysts have also pointed to the growing narrative around alternative tokens like MAGACOIN FINANCE, which is gaining traction as a speculative play alongside ADA. While ADA remains a strong investment for those focused on fundamental growth, MAGACOIN FINANCE offers a more speculative option for investors looking to diversify their altcoin exposure [2].

The growing interest in Cardano is not the only notable trend in the crypto market. Layer Brett (LBRETT), an Ethereum Layer 2 solution, has emerged as a strong contender in the altcoin space, drawing comparisons to Dogecoin and other meme-based tokens. Built to address Ethereum’s scalability issues, Layer Brett offers fast, low-cost transactions and has already attracted attention for its staking rewards and utility-driven approach. Unlike many meme coins that rely solely on community hype, Layer Brett is positioned as a serious blockchain project with long-term growth potential. Its current price of $0.0053 and presale access have made it an attractive option for early investors [3].
