Cardano (ADA) has had one of the best performances over the last three weeks, surging over 200% toward a 2.5-year high. Today, the cryptocurrency rose over 20% to break above the $0.90 mark, fueling a bullish sentiment for the long-awaited $1 target.

Cardano Makes New Year-High Above $0.90

On Friday, Cardano broke past the $0.81 resistance and skyrocketed toward the $0.90 mark, making a new year-high of $0.97. This performance represents a 22% surge in the last 24 hours, driving the token to its highest price since late April 2022.

Cardano peaked above the $3.10 mark three years ago but lost its bullish momentum as the crypto market struggled, hitting its lowest price of $0.22 in June 2023. Since dropping 92% below its all-time high (ATH), ADA has been heavily criticized for underperforming the rest of the market.

Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency recovered during Q1 2024 highs, reaching the $0.81 mark before losing 66% of its gains in the next few months. The recent market rally has seen ADA outperform most altcoins in the last three weeks, renewing interest in the cryptocurrency.

According to CoinGlass’ data, Cardano’s open interest (OI) surged by 28.25% in the past 24 hours, hitting $855.5 million today. Additionally, it has jumped over 11% in the past four hours, suggesting increased activity and confidence among crypto traders.

ADA To Hit $1 Soon?

Cardano investors and crypto analysts have recently expressed their bullishness over ADA’s “fire” performance. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that Cardano has surged over 200% this month, fueled by whales and institutional investors.

Per the post, the volume of large ADA transactions on the network had increased by over 297% since the US election, reaching $22 billion on November 19.

Martinez signaled that these large transactions are related to high accumulation levels, as whales holding $1 million to $10 million in ADA increased their positions by over 100% in the last 30 days.

He also highlighted that ADA seems to be mirroring its 2020-2021 price action. As reported by NewsBTC, the analyst has suggested the cryptocurrency is set to experience a 2,000% run toward the $6 mark if it continues to follow its past behavior.

As the price soared past $0.90, Martinez pointed out that the $0.80 resistance, where 48,000 addresses had bought 1.2 billion ADA, was a “key area of support to watch for the bullish thesis to hold.”

Analyst Sebastian highlighted that, after the $0.80 resistance, “there isn’t much resistance until $1.2.” As such, ADA could potentially see “an explosion from here” and target the long-awaited $1 mark over the weekend.

As of this writing, ADA is trading at $0.97, a 46% increase in the last seven days.

Rubmar is a writer and translator who has been a crypto enthusiast for the past four years. Her goal as a writer is to create informative, complete, and easily understandable pieces accessible to those entering the crypto space. After learning about cryptocurrencies in 2019, Rubmar became curious about the world of possibilities the industry offered, quickly learning that financial freedom was at the palm of her hand with the developing technology.

From a young age, Rubmar was curious about how languages work, finding special interest in wordplay and the peculiarities of dialects. Her curiosity grew as she became an avid reader in her teenage years. She explored freedom and new words through her favorite books, which shaped her view of the world. Rubmar acquired the necessary skills for in-depth research and analytical thinking at university, where she studied Literature and Linguistics. Her studies have given her a sharp perspective on several topics and allowed her to turn every stone in her investigations.

In 2019, she first dipped her toes in the crypto industry when a friend introduced her to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but it wasn’t until 2020 that she started to dive into the depth of the industry. As Rubmar began to understand the mechanics of the crypto sphere, she saw a new world yet to be explored.

At the beginning of her crypto voyage, she discovered a new system that allowed her to have control over her finances. As a young adult of the 21st century, Rubmar has faced the challenges of the traditional banking system and the restrictions of fiat money.

After the failure of her home country’s economy, the limitations of traditional finances became clear. The bureaucratic, outdated structure made her feel hopeless and powerless amid an aggressive and distorted system created by hyperinflation. However, learning about decentralization and self-custody opened a realm of opportunities. Cryptocurrencies allowed her to experience financial control for the first time and expand her financial education.

Moreover, the peculiar nature of the crypto community sparked Rubmar’s curiosity about the other layers of the industry. As a result, she found a particular interest in discovering the diverse perspectives of investors, market watchers, experts, and developers. Her attempts to better understand the crypto space made her realize the strong links of the community with other industries, enriching her perspective of the sector. As someone who spends most of her day online, Rubmar enjoys finding the points where the crypto world meets with her other passions and hobbies –or her favorite memes.

In her free time, she usually finds joy in different art forms. As a child, she enlisted in every extra-curricular activity in her hometown, including music classes, dancing, jewelry making, and the local chorus. Despite her many attempts to learn different instruments, Rubmar only knows how to play the xylophone, which she played for 7 years in her school’s marching band.

She also has a passion for learning new languages and cultures, having set the goal to learn another six languages – currently attempting to learn Italian and Korean. Scrapbooking, paper crafting, and bookbinding are her biggest interests outside of work, constantly taking classes and attending workshops to learn new techniques. The rest of her free time is spent stressing over football matches and transfer market news or feeding cats –hers or stray.

In summary, Rubmar seeks to present entertaining and educational pieces to be enjoyed by everybody, aiming to report on the latest news and offer a unique perspective while adding a meme or a pun whenever possible.
