Market observers argue that Cardano may be approaching an “Ethereum moment,” as price compression and long-term structure align with a renewed focus on privacy and regulatory compliance.
A widely shared market commentary asserts that ADA will eventually achieve its own breakout cycle, claiming Cardano could deliver on privacy and compliance in ways Bitcoin and Ethereum have not fully realized.
The argument focuses on enabling global adoption through infrastructure designed for regulated environments, while ADA trades near $0.28 and skepticism remains elevated.
From a structural perspective, one analyst notes that ADA is within a long-term accumulation range. Weekly charts suggest the end of a corrective phase and the early stages of a new cycle, supported by a break from a prolonged downtrend.
Moreover, cycle projections by the same analyst indicate a mid-cycle target of $2 to $3, with a potential full extension to $6 to $10 in a strong alternative season scenario. The preferred entry range is $0.24 to $0.30, with invalidation on a weekly close below $0.20.
CoinMarketCap data indicate that ADA is down 1.35% to $0.28 over 24 hours, closely tracking Bitcoin’s 0.90% decline. Analysts emphasize the importance of holding the $0.24-$0.26 support band, while a weekly close above $0.31 would strengthen the bullish continuation thesis.
Comparing with the Ethereum analysis adds context. ETH trades at $1,976, up 0.54% amid ETF-related selling pressure. Despite a $238 billion valuation, the Ethereum ecosystem is valued at $293.5 billion, with 30% of its supply staked. Historically, ETH has traded at twice the total value locked. Yet, it’s now at 0.8 times, levels last seen during the 2022 contraction.
With Ethereum trading in a discounted zone and capital historically rotating into high-beta layer-ones after Bitcoin bottoms, some analysts see Cardano positioned for a similar repricing phase if fundamentals align with market timing.
