The overall bearish sentiment for Cardano (ADA) continues to rise as analysts now foresee a massive 33% price crash for the altcoin. This pessimistic projection comes as ADA struggles to gain traction in the market, with its value remaining stagnant or steadily dropping to lower levels.
Cardano (ADA) Crash Incoming
Compared to other prominent altcoins in the crypto market, Cardano has performed poorly, struggling with price declines and sluggish growth. Consequently, a crypto analyst, identified as ‘Financialfreedomgoals’ on TradingView, predicted that cryptocurrency is likely to experience more than a 30% crash to new lows.

The analyst notes the broader negative state of the current crypto market, highlighting that most altcoins are stuck in a “bearish rut.” He disclosed that rather than achieving new all-time highs, these coins have been setting fresh lows, underscoring the persistent downtrend and decreased confidence amongst investors.
Cardano, in particular, has had its share of negative sentiment and volatility. The cryptocurrency has stayed unwaveringly below the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) 200 line, a key technical indicator traders often use to gauge long-term trends. Typically, when the price of a cryptocurrency stays below this line, it tends to signal a continuation of a bearish trend.
Given the present bearish state of the market, the crypto analyst has dismissed the idea of an upcoming altcoin season, where the majority of cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin experience significant price gains.
On the daily time frame, Cardano is trading below the EMA 200 line and the bearish trend line. Initially, a rising wedge pattern had formed on the cryptocurrency’s price chart, however instead of breaking out, Cardano saw a series of negative candlesticks alongside a bearish crossover on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
This series of negative indicators suggests that bears may be tightening their grip on Cardano’s price. As such, the crypto analyst foresees the ADA continuing its descent to reach fresh lows at target areas: 0.2506 or 0.2197. These targets are calculated using the Fibonacci retracement ratios of 1.272 and 1.618.
0.3815 Resistance Could Trigger Bullish Surge
Despite maintaining a largely bearish stance on Cardano’s price outlook, Financialfreedomgoals has hinted at a potential bullish turnaround. He has suggested that a price reversal for ADA could be possible if the price of the cryptocurrency manages to break above the key resistance at 0.3815 Fibonacci level.

Crypto analyst Sssebi shares an even greater bullish outlook for Cardano. He highlights that during the previous bull market, ADA’s value increased by more than 100X. As a result, the analyst believes that ADA will rally by at least 20X in this current market cycle, expressing even stronger confidence that the cryptocurrency will reach $5 soon.
As of writing, the price of ADA is trading at $0.3576, reflecting a significant increase of 11.39% over the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.
