Cardano (ADA) is pressing against long-term resistance as shown in the chart. A breakout could open the way toward the $1.5–$2 zone. Market observers advise traders to keep eyes on the breakout, as repeated rejections at this level indicate pressure is mounting. ADA is currently trading at $0.87.
ADA Testing Long-Term Resistance
According to an observation by Anup Dungana via X, ADA continues to test a descending resistance trendline visible on the daily chart. This line has rejected several breakout attempts since late 2024, including in November 2024, March 2025, and August 2025.
Each rejection pushed ADA back into lower highs, maintaining a tight consolidation range. In November 2024, ADA rallied sharply from below $0.40 to nearly $1.00 before entering a sideways structure. Since then, price has continued to respect the same descending trendline.
With ADA trading at $0.87 today, analysts note that a breakout could set the stage for a move toward $1.50–$2.00, as marked on the chart projection. Immediate resistance lies near $0.95 and $1.00, which traders identify as levels that must be cleared to confirm bullish momentum. Support rests just below at $0.85, making it a key pivot for short-term structure.
Market Flows and Ecosystem Growth
According to an analysis prepared by Osemka, ADA is approaching what he calls “the barrier that releases the bull out of its cage.” He suggested that this resistance may influence the broader altcoin cycle, extending the current bullish timeline into mid-2026. On-chain flows show cautious optimism.
Coinglass recorded $5.29 million in net outflows on September 9, suggesting long-term accumulation and reduced sell pressure. Analysts, however, indicate that stronger inflows are needed to confirm a sustained breakout. Cardano fundamentals continue to expand.
DeFiLlama reports that the network has a total value locked of $386.53 million and capitalization of stablecoins of 39.02 million. Over 23,000 active addresses were registered during the last 24 hours. The Midnight sidechain was also confirmed by developers as scheduled to be launched in Q4 2025, which has provided further assurance of adoption and ecosystem development.
