The Roadmap To New All-Time Highs

Crypto analyst Dan Gambardello has highlighted the Cardano (ADA) roadmap to a new all-time high (ATH). The analyst also suggested that Cardano was halfway to reaching a new high, noting what part of its cycle the coin was currently at.  

Cardano Is In Stage 3 Of Its Cycle

Gambardello remarked in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Cardano is in stage three of its cycle. He claimed that this part of the cycle for ADA is the “Told you. You should’ve listened” stage. This refers to the point where investors begin to capitulate, thinking that the crypto is unlikely to surge in the bull market given its bearish price action.

Once this stage is done, Cardano is expected to move to the next stage of its cycle, which Gambardello called the “Here we go again, another bull trap” stage. This stage will help shake out the short-term traders who jumped on ADA, believing its price would rise soon enough. Once the non-believers have been shaken out, the analyst predicts that Cardano will move to the last part of its cycle, when it will shatter its ATH and reach new highs. 

In his accompanying chart, Gambardello predicted that Cardano would rise to as high as $15 by year-end 2025. The analyst also indicated that ADA will enjoy a price surge beyond 2025, expected to mark the end of this cycle’s bull run. Interestingly, he forecasts that Cardano’s price will double in a year and rise to $31 by year-end 2026. 

A rise to $31 means that Cardano will have a market cap of $1 trillion. For context, the crypto market currently has a market cap of $2 trillion, meaning that figure is set to increase exponentially if ADA alone becomes valued at $1 trillion. The analyst didn’t provide any reason for believing the crypto can experience such massive growth in two years. 

A More Conservative Price Prediction

Crypto analyst InvestingHaven has offered a more conservative price prediction for Cardano. In an X post, the analyst stated that the crypto will reach a “super bullish target of $1.95” in 2025. He also questioned whether ADA was ready for a breakout, claiming that the $0.443 Fibonacci level was the key to unlocking higher prices.

InvestingHaven added that the 2025 outlook for Cardano is full of potential, reaffirming that this is when the crypto will enjoy a parabolic rally. ADA has had a rough 2024 despite bullish developments like the Chang Hard Fork, which ushered in a decentralized governance system for the Cardano network. It is one of the worst-performing crypto assets this year, with a year-to-date (YTD) loss of over 40%. 

At the time if writing, Cardano is trading at around $0.35, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
