The price of ADA, the native cryptocurrency powering the Cardano blockchain, has taken a notable 19.2% tumble over the last 30 days. This dip has come amid a wider slump across the cryptocurrency market. However, one prominent crypto analyst believes ADA’s recent price action has it perfectly positioned for a major bull rally in the months ahead.
On the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, well-known crypto expert Ali Martinez recently drew attention to ADA’s current price performance. According to Martinez, ADA’s movements over the past few weeks resemble the patterns observed from 2018 to 2021. If this fractal continues accurately playing out, the analyst stated that ADA could continue consolidating between the $0.55 and $0.80 price range for the foreseeable future.
At the time of this writing, the Cardano token is valued at approximately $0.58 per coin. Martinez noted that if ADA’s price trajectory follows the prior cycle’s path, this consolidation phase may persist for several more weeks. The analyst expects ADA to break out and surge to around $1.70. After reaching that milestone, another period of consolidation would likely follow to “set the stage” for an even bigger move higher towards the $5 per token valuation.

In a recent post, Martinez doubled down on his analysis, stating “nothing changed for Cardano” and that ADA is progressing “exactly where it should be” before its predicted liftoff to the $1.70 price target.
Cardano Plutus Surge: 170%+ Growth
While ADA’s price has dipped recently, data shows Cardano’s underlying blockchain technology is seeing immense growth and adoption. Statistics from Cardano Blockchain Insights reveal a remarkable 170%+ increase in the number of Plutus scripts deployed on the network since January 2023. Plutus is Cardano’s native coding language for building secure, reliable smart contracts and decentralized applications.
The growth doesn’t stop at smart contracts, either. Cardano has also experienced a significant uptick in overall user activity. Over the past 30 days, the number of active wallets interacting with the network reached a one-year peak of over 600,000 after surging nearly 40%. Solid on-chain metrics like these align with analysts’ projections for ADA’s future price appreciation potential.
