Key Takeaways
After some days of downward pressure, Cardano’s (ADA) price could be gearing up for a bounce.
This development comes after the Cardano community made history by approving the project’s development fund for the first time.
At press time, ADA’s price is $0.73. However, with this fresh development capital, ADA may again target $1.
Here is why.
Between July 28 and Aug. 2, Cardano’s price endured a pullback, printing six consecutive red daily candles, and it slid from $0.83 to $0.69.
The drop came as selling pressure intensified shortly after ADA attempted to break higher.
Now, the tide appears to be shifting. Over the past two sessions, ADA has posted back-to-back bullish candles, lifting the price to $0.73.
Notably, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has held above the zero signal line, signaling that capital inflows never thoroughly dried up despite recent weakness.
This resilience suggests that bears are losing control, and ADA’s price could soon find strong support near $0.55. If this support level holds, the altcoin could retest the resistance at $0.84.

Beyond the technical setup, Cardano’s governance just notched a historic milestone.
The community has approved a $70 million ecosystem fund (96 million ADA) to fuel blockchain development—the first time an official vote has backed such funding.
According to CCN’s findings, 74% of participating voters gave the green light after Input Output (IOHK)—Cardano’s primary development arm—submitted the proposal.
“The Cardano Community has officially voted in support of the IOE funding proposal (with a 73.93% vote) marking a significant milestone in the journey toward community-led delivery and long-term protocol advancement,” Input Output disclosed over the weekend.
Furthermore, the announcement revealed that the approved budget will deliver upgrades across scalability, developer experience, and interoperability.
If improved, this could drive the altcoin’s adoption, potentially driving ADA’s price higher.
Like the daily chart, the 4-hour ADA/USD chart also presented a bullish outlook. As the image below shows, ADA’s price is now testing the upper boundary of the descending channel formed.
This indicates that the altcoin seems ready to break out. Besides that, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) has started forming green histogram bars, suggesting that momentum could switch from bearish to bullish.
Once the AO breaks the zero line, Cardano’s price might rise above the resistance at $0.84. In addition, the Money Flow Index (MFI) is rising, indicating increasing buying pressure.
Should this remain the same, ADA might hit $0.93 in the short term. If demand intensifies, the market value might jump to $1.20.

On the contrary, if the cryptocurrency fails to break above the upper trendline and faces rejection, it could drop to $0.61 near the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement levels.
