ADA has declined by 8.77% over the past 24 hours.
Market fundamentals show strong bearish outlook while an analyst predicts a rally after correction.

Since hitting $1.3, Cardano (ADA) has struggled to maintain upward momentum, experiencing strong downward pressure over the past week, dropping to a low of $0.77.

As of writing, Cardano was trading at $0.9013, marking an 8.77% decline in 24 hours and a 14.45% decline over the week. Despite this, some analysts are optimistic about a rally, with crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggesting a potential rise to $6 based on previous cycles.

Market Sentiment

Martinez argues that Cardano is mimicking patterns from prior cycles. In 2020, the first correction after a bull rally coincided with today’s drop, which preceded another rally. During the 2020 rally, ADA surged from $0.088 to $0.190 before retracing to a low of $0.12. Following that correction, Cardano experienced a 750% rally up to $1.02 by February 2024.

Thus, if history holds true, Cardano may witness a significant rally following the current correction.

ADA Charts Indication

While historical patterns suggest a positive outlook, other market indicators reflect a different scenario, as recent on-chain activities have hit lows. The Price DAA divergence for Cardano has remained negative, indicating that current ADA prices are unsupported by growth in on-chain activities.

This trend is particularly noticeable among large holders, with transaction volumes hitting monthly lows. Furthermore, Cardano’s NVT ratio with transaction volume spiked from 9.17 to 38.12, suggesting that speculation drives price rather than increased usage.

For sustainable price growth, Cardano must see an increase in active addresses, transactions, and overall on-chain activities.

Given the current conditions, ADA’s corrective phase may not yet be over, with a potential short-term drop to $0.85. A trend reversal could eventually allow Cardano to reclaim the $1.0 resistance, but reaching $6 appears distant, as the altcoin must first overcome resistance levels at $1.2, $1.6, $1.8, and $2.4.
