Cardano Hits $1.19 as Whale Demand Soars: Is $1.77 Next?

Cardano (ADA) reclaims the $1 milestone and aims for $1.77 as demand surges following its inclusion in the U.S. Crypto Reserve.

With Donald Trump announcing Cardano as a part of the U.S. Crypto Reserve, ADA’s price skyrocketed 72% overnight. The bull in ADA price reclaimed the $1 psychological mark. As the buying pressure grows, will the bullish rally in Cardano reach a new all-time high? 

Cardano Hits $1.19, Buyers Anticipate New Swing High

With the skyrocketing move last night, Cardano undermines the declaring trend since mid-January 2025. The bullish engulfing candle has surpassed the 78.60% Fibonacci level at $0.92. Additionally, the overnight bull run in Cardano reached a 24-hour high of $1.19. 

However, short-term exhaustion led to an intraday pullback of 11.62%. With this pullback, Cardano is currently trading at a market value of $1.0020. The bullish overnight recovery has also led to a breakout of the falling wedge pattern mentioned in a previous article.

With the bullish breakout, both the MACD and signal lines have given a positive crossover. Furthermore, the daily RSI line briefly entered the overbought region. These technical indicators suggest the possibility of a continued bullish trend.

Moreover, the social dominance of the altcoin has surged to 5.65% of all social activity in the crypto space. According to the tweet, Cardano has become the sixth most popular cryptocurrency across social media based on mentions and engagement.

Cardano (ADA) Price Targets Aim $1.77

Based on ADA’s price action analysis, Cardano has struggled to surpass the critical resistance level at $1.22. With the intraday pullback, Cardano is nearing a potential decrease toward the 78.6% Fibonacci level at $0.9216.

Given the strong underlying demand, a post-pullback reversal seems inevitable. The Fibonacci levels suggest an optimistic target of $1.7725, marking the next 52-week high for Cardano. On the flip side, the crucial support level below $0.92 remains at $0.7351.
