• Cardano (ADA) has been at the center of the recent bullish breakout, adding nearly 60 percent to its value in the last six weeks.
• With prices taking a breather, largely influenced by macro events in the crypto industry, investors are left guessing where ADA goes from here.

Cardano (ADA) has been one of the most outstanding projects in 2023 and its efforts have been rewarded in the recent bullish breakout. In the last 6 weeks, ADA has posted gains of 59 percent seeing the altcoin rise from $0.245 on October 12 to its current weekly high of $0.39.

Like a majority of cryptocurrencies, prices have seemingly stalled. After a volatile period, prices were bound to take a breather, an eventuality that was aided by the U.S. government going after Binance. As CNF reported, Changpeng Zhao has this month pleaded guilty to money laundering charges in the US. As a consequence, he had to step down as Binance CEO, and the exchange ordered to pay more than $4 billion in charges. The largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, these events have created uncertainty in the market, leading to a recent dip and prices stalling.

Cardano has in the last 7 days, dropped nearly 3 percent to trade for $0.3796 at the time of press. Market data suggest that whales are taking advantage of the discount prices and loading up, a clear sign of a possible resurgence in the coming days.

One of the key reasons for their optimism is the ongoing development led by the engineering company behind the Cardano blockchain, Input Output Global (IOG). Recently, the company celebrated a significant research milestone of nearly 200 papers. The extensive library curated by Input Output Global contains a wealth of information that has undergone peer review and has been accepted for presentation at prestigious academic conferences.

Cardano (ADA) Faces Minimal Resistance

According to the crypto analytics platform CoinCodex, ADA prices will reach $0.8617 in the next three months. Prominent crypto trader Ali Martinez has identified that Cardano’s consolidation trend mirrors that of the 2018-2022 phase. If a similar breakout unfolds, ADA should reach $0.45 resistance soon and target $0.75 by the end of December. Sharing his views on X, Martinez noted;

#Cardano sits at a key demand zone between $0.37 and $0.38. Here, 166,470 wallets acquired 4.88 billion $ADA.

With minimal resistance ahead and solid support below, remaining above this zone could pave the way for $ADA to climb to new yearly highs. Still, watch out, as losing this support level could trigger a brief correction to $0.34.

Although these targets are alluring, they pale to comparison of the altcoin’s gains from two years ago. At the time, ADA marked a new all-time high after reaching $3.09.

In addition to technical support, the network continues to innovate and upgrade its blockchain to remain competitive and onboard new users and developers. This sets it up for long-term success making it as a low-risk, high-reward investment at the current price.
