ADA Price Analysis: Can Cardano’s Correction Fuel a $3 Target?

• Cardano’s price correction near $0.74–$0.98 is viewed as a healthy retracement, signaling potential long-term bullish momentum.
• ADA’s breakout to $0.96–$1.25 trading zone suggests upside potential, with analysts eyeing price targets hovering between $2.50 and $3.00

Cardano’s (ADA) recent price movements have caught the attention of analysts and traders alike. After a staggering 300% rally from November lows, the cryptocurrency faced a sharp 40% correction. Now, analysts like Michaël van de Poppe predict that ADA may be nearing the end of this turbulent phase.  

Van de Poppe suggests that the $0.74–$0.98 range is a critical support zone, offering investors a strategic entry point. He views the recent dip as a healthy correction within ADA’s larger bullish cycle, signaling a potential for long-term gains.

At the time of writing, Cardano was valued at $0.8775, with a daily trading volume of $554 million, making a decline of 35%. Over the past week, the cryptocurrency saw a 3.95% drop. Despite this, ADA boasts a market capitalization of $30.83 billion, underpinned by a circulating supply of 45 billion tokens.  

ADA Approaches Imbalance Zone — Bullish Momentum Ahead?

Cardano has recently broken out of an older consolidation range, establishing a new trading zone between $0.96 and $1.25. Analysts argue that surpassing the upper resistance of this band could ignite a renewed bullish momentum. A closer look at the four-hour chart shows ADA approaching a key imbalance zone—a critical area where price action could pivot significantly.  

Further backing the ADA bullish scenario, a crypto analyst, CyberFX, stated, 

The #ADA price is moving clearly according to my plan. And now it is just approaching the zone of imbalance from which the reaction and upward growth will follow.

Analysts suggest that a successful interaction with this zone could push ADA past the psychological $1.00 level and potentially beyond $1.05.  

Looking at the bigger picture, long-term projections hint at ADA reaching new heights by 2025, with price targets hovering between $2.50 and $3.00. However, this depends on favorable market conditions and sustained bullish momentum.  

Community Concerns Over CF’s $600 Million Treasury

Amid price fluctuations, governance debates within the Cardano community have also taken center stage. Charles Hoskinson, the platform’s founder, recently addressed concerns about the governance structure of the Cardano Foundation (CF). These issues gained traction after community member Rick McCracken questioned leadership transparency and accountability.  

“This isn’t a Charles versus CF debate… This is a discussion on whether the community foundation should be answerable to the community,” Hoskinson emphasized.

He highlighted the lack of direct community involvement in managing the CF’s $600 million ADA treasury, a factor that could influence funding and ecosystem growth, as CNF earlier reported.

In parallel, Cardano has been expanding its blockchain infrastructure and supporting community-led projects. Initiatives like Catalyst remain central to its strategy, ensuring sustainable growth in the evolving blockchain space.
