Key Takeaways
  • Cardano (ADA) trades inside a descending parallel channel.
  • The ADA price trades below the $0.85 horizontal resistance.
  • Can ADA break out in October and move to a new cycle high?

The Cardano (ADA) price failed to break out from its long-term correction channel.

Despite a substantial rally since June, the ADA price has struggled to break through the critical resistance at $0.85.

Now, all eyes are on the diagonal resistance to see if it will break, leading ADA to a new cycle high.

ADA Price Analysis

The ADA price has declined inside a descending parallel channel for the past 300 days, since reaching its cycle high of $1.32 in December 2024.

After preventing three breakdowns (green icons), the ADA price reclaimed the $0.60 horizontal area and surged to the channel’s resistance.

Despite multiple attempts to break out, ADA has failed to close above the resistance level. Moreover, it fell below the $0.85 horizontal area, which now acts as resistance.

Therefore, the Cardano price has its work cut out for it if it wants to reach a new cycle high. It faces horizontal and diagonal resistance until $0.90, making it difficult for the price to break out.

Nevertheless, the channel’s presence suggests that an eventual breakout is likely, as these patterns typically contain corrective movements.

Momentum indicators also support the breakout. More specifically, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) have given a bullish signal that has previously led to massive rallies.

The signal is created when the RSI increases above 50 and the MACD moves into positive territory.

Since 2023, the signal has led to upward movements of 175% and 315%, respectively, so a similar rally could occur the third time.

Therefore, Cardano’s long-term prediction is bullish, and an October breakout is anticipated.

ADA Correction Over?

The wave count aligns with the Cardano price analysis and indicator sentiment, suggesting that the majority of the rally remains to be seen.

According to the count, ADA has completed a long-term A-B-C correction (red) and started a new five-wave upward movement (green) in June.

If the count is accurate, ADA has just started wave three in a five-wave upward movement (green), taking it to a new cycle high of $1.84.

The target is found by giving the current upward movement the same length as the previous one.

The short-term count shows that the correction might not have ended yet.

Wave two is contained inside a descending parallel channel, and the price is in its final portion, specifically wave C in an A-B-C correction (red).

If wave C develops regularly, there will be another slightly lower low before the correction ends.

Hence, the Cardano price could decline toward $0.75 one final time, bouncing at the channel’s support trend line, and then the correction will end.

Cardano’s October Trend

In the short term, ADA’s price may still face one more dip toward $0.75 before the Cardano correction is fully realized.

However, the long-term outlook remains positive, with the RSI and MACD turning bullish and the wave count indicating the start of a larger upward cycle.

If ADA manages to break past the $0.85–$0.90 resistance zone, it could trigger a rally toward $1.84 in October.
