Cardano price closes in on the critical resistance at $0.45 which if defeated could propel ADA to $0.75 by the end of December.
Published 12 hours ago
Cardano (ADA) is flying the altcoin flag high above the crypto horizon alongside tokens like Solana (SOL), XRP, Avalanche (AVAX), Chainlink (LINK), and more.
The competitive smart contracts token has seen its value increase by 56% in the last 30 days to trade at $0.393 at the time of writing. Following the bounce-off support at $0.24 in October, ADA has persistently climbed the ladder by stepping above all the bull market indicators, including the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), the 100-day EMA, and the 200-day EMA.
Cardano Price Prediction: Is ADA Going to $0.75 By Year-End?
Cardano shows signs of a stronger bullish outlook as observed on the daily chart. In addition to trading above all three MAs, the token recently broke above a key multi-month falling trendline.
Traders often look out for such breaks as shown on the daily chart. They lead to highly profitable price swings, especially when you DCA at the beginning of the trend.
For now, the resistance at $0.4 is demanding attention as bears and bulls engage in a fierce fight to determine the direction Cardano price would take. Trading above this hurdle would be a bullish indicator likely to see ADA quickly close the gap to the next resistance at $0.45.
On the downside, failure to defeat the seller congestion at $0.4 may result in a longer consolidation—one that could destabilize ADA and encourage traders to close their positions earlier than expected due to the fear of being liquidated.
In that case, the support provided by the descending trendline may come in handy and stop the losses. However, if push comes to shove, investors may want to start acclimatizing to Cardano sweeping lower liquidity areas like $0.34 and $0.3.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reveals that ADA has a higher chance of continuing with the uptrend than sweeping lows towards $0.34 and $0.3.
However, for this uptrend to $0.45 to materialize the blue MACD line must hold above the red signal line while the momentum indicator persistently moves north.
Trader and analyst @ali_charts shared his technical opinion about Cardano’s potential year-end target on Twitter (now X). According to Ali, “Cardano’s current consolidation trend eerily mirrors the 2018-2020 phase without the COVID-19 crash!”
He opines that if Cardano marches through resistance at $0.45 by the first week of December, the token could become even more attractive to traders and institutional investors, who could propel ADA to $0.75 by the end of the year.
#Cardano‘s current consolidation trend eerily mirrors the 2018-2020 phase without the COVID-19 crash!
If so, $ADA could break through the $0.45 resistance around the first week of December. The upswing could send #ADA to $0.75 by late December.

Cardano DeFi TVL Grows To $263 Million
Institutional interest in Cardano continues to grow in tandem with the price. According to Defi Llama, a platform tracking protocols in the DeFi sector, the total value locked (TVL) which measures the dollar value of digital assets locked in the network’s ecosystem’s smart contracts has increased to $263 million from a 2023 low of $50 million.
An increase in the TVL balance is a direct indication of the long-term bullish outlook investors have for Cardano price. In other words, they are not interested in short-term gains, selling at the earlier sign of profit, but are willing to lock up their tokens for a longer period. This also reduces the selling pressure in the market, as investors move ADA tokens from exchanges to smart contracts.
