Cardano (ADA) prices have dropped by 3.49% in the past week, amidst a broader crypto market correction. The popular altcoin now trades near the $0.90 price region following this significant bearish activity. However, renowned market expert Ali Martinez has shared an audacious bullish theory that suggests Cardano may be preparing for a major upside swing.
For context, the Fibonacci extension tool is widely used to identify possible price targets by mapping ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence against historical price action. In Cardano’s last cycle, ADA surged from lows near $0.018 in early 2020 to highs around $3.10 in 2021 as the cycle peak.
At the time of writing, ADA is consolidating near the 0.618 extension level at $1.15. This zone has historically acted as both strong resistance and support, making it a critical battleground for bulls and bears. If ADA can decisively break above $1.15, Martinez’s projections suggest momentum could build toward higher Fibonacci extension targets, most notably in the $3-$6 range.
Such a move would represent a substantial upside from current levels, with about a 200% gain alone required just to reach the $3 threshold that aligns with the 1.000 extension level. Meanwhile, achieving the upper end of the projection near $6 would put Cardano back in contention with its 2021 highs, which aligns with the 1.272 Fibonacci extension level.
However, it’s worth noting that a rejection at $1.15 resistance level could force Cardano to lower levels at $0.62 (0.382 Fib) and $0.43 (0.236 Fib).
At the time of writing, Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.89, down by 0.41% in the last 24 hours, as selling pressure weighs on the market. The daily trading volume has also dropped sharply by 49.53%, signaling reduced activity and waning momentum among traders.
Despite this, ADA continues to rank as the 10th largest cryptocurrency with a total market cap of $32.03 billion.
