Cardano price is holding firm near the $0.50 support, with participants eyeing a potential reversal as momentum indicators start to turn in favor of the bulls.

A surge of quiet accumulation is starting to surface around Cardano’s $0.50 zone, where price action has repeatedly attracted long-term holders. The stability at this level is drawing fresh optimism, with several participants noting early signs of reversal momentum.

Cardano Price Attempts Reversal Around the $0.50 Support

Cardano appears to be approaching a potential bullish reversal as price tests the descending trendline that has capped every rally since early 2024. The chart shared by Rand shows ADA Cardano price is forming a possible base around the $0.50 region. A confirmed push above resistance could now flip market sentiment from bearish to bullish.

The key support remains around $0.53 to $0.50, a region that has repeatedly held through prior shakeouts. If the structure holds and volume begins to expand, Cardano price could be gearing up for a mid-cycle reversal, setting the stage for higher highs over the coming days.

ADA Targets Point Towards a Larger Upside Setup

Waleed Ahmed’s broader timeframe analysis suggests that ADA’s long-term structure remains intact within a massive accumulation box. The range between $0.59 and $0.62 continues to serve as a consolidation base, while the upper boundary near $3.10 represents the major cycle top where price could head next.

If ADA can hold its mid-range support and break above $0.80–$1.00, it could initiate a multi-month rally similar to past expansion cycles. This accumulation behavior, visible in the weekly structure, implies that Cardano price may be preparing for a strong macro move if broader market momentum aligns.

Seasonal Trends Hint at Breakout Potential

The DApp Analyst’s seasonal data adds weight to the bullish outlook, showing that ADA has spent nearly a year consolidating within the $0.50–$1.30 range. Historically, such long periods of compression have preceded strong expansions in prior cycles.

As seasonal trends align, the historical performance charts for 2023 and 2024 suggest that ADA typically sees acceleration in late Q4, followed by sustained strength through Q1. If this pattern repeats, ADA could soon see the long-awaited breakout, positioning it for a more decisive trend shift into 2026.

Short-Term View: Indicators Turning Bullish

Cardano is currently testing the lower boundary of its trading band as noted by Trend Rider’s setup. The chart highlights a key threshold at $0.70, which needs to be reclaimed to confirm short-term trend reversal. ADA is hovering near the 0.59 support, resting on the lower edge of the RiderAlgo band, a level that has previously triggered bullish rebounds.

Momentum indicators show exhaustion among sellers, while price remains compressed under the VWAP and EMA cluster. A breakout above $0.64 to $0.70 could flip local structure back to bullish, targeting the $0.85 to $0.90 zone in the near term.

Final Thoughts

Cardano’s chart structure continues to mature as price repeatedly defends its key supports while forming higher lows on longer timeframes. Technical alignment across multiple market watchers pointing towards a growing possibility of reversal, with confluence around the $0.65–$0.70 zone acting as the pivot for confirmation.

If ADA sustains momentum above that resistance, the path toward $1.00 and beyond becomes clearer. With seasonal strength approaching and structural compression nearly complete, the next few weeks could be bullish for Cardano Price Prediction.

XRP (XRP 1.77%) is the fourth-most valuable cryptocurrency, with a market value of $145 billion. It currently trades at $2.40, but Geoffrey Kendrick at Standard Chartered anticipates big gains in the coming years, due in large part to the potential approval of spot XRP ETFs. He recently set his 2028 target price at $12.50, which implies annual returns of 73%.

However, Morningstar analysts estimate the entire cryptocurrency market will expand at 10% annually during the next several years. That forecast is sensible, but I think XRP will perform better than the broader market: I predict the altcoin will return 20% annually to reach $6 by 2030. That implies 150% upside from where it trades today.

Here’s what investors should know.

Ripple uses XRP and RLUSD to facilitate cross-border transactions

Ripple is a fintech company that uses XRP and its blockchain (the XRP Ledger) to help payment service providers and other businesses move money across borders. The SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications) system is currently the industry standard where wire transfers are concerned, but transactions can take days to settle and often incur high fees because they are routed through multiple intermediaries.

Ripple solves those problems by using XRP as a bridge currency. Transactions not only settle within seconds, but also cost a fraction of a cent. In June, CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicted XRP would capture 14% of SWIFT payment volume within five years, in which case more than $20 trillion would flow through the XRP Ledger annually.

That seems wildly optimistic. Using a volatile cryptocurrency like XRP as a bridge currency to move money introduces unnecessary risk. Ripple has added the stablecoin RLUSD to its payments ecosystem to address that problem, but that new product faces tough competition from more entrenched stablecoins like USD Coin by Circle Internet Group.

XRP transaction volume, which is a roundabout measure of demand for the cryptocurrency, has steadily declined throughout 2025. That hints at waning interest, and I seriously doubt a significant number of enterprises will adopt XRP payments in the future. Investors should expect very little from this potential catalyst.

The SEC is likely to approve spot XRP ETFs in the near future

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was set to approve several spot XRP ETFs in October. The process was delayed due to the government shutdown, but approval is now anticipated in November or December. Those investment products would provide direct exposure to XRP without the hassle and high fees associated with traditional cryptocurrency exchanges.

Eliminating those pain points could unlock demand among retail investors and, more importantly, institutional investors that control about $130 trillion in assets under management. Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg estimates spot XRP ETFs will draw inflows totaling $5 billion in their first month on the market. That seem too ambitious, given the launch of spot ETFs for Bitcoin drew just $4 billion during their first month, but I agree in principle: Spot XRP ETFs should boost demand.

Bitcoin prices have increased 127% since the SEC approved the first spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024. So, it seems reasonable that XRP could see similar price appreciation over the next five years. That’s why I think the altcoin can increase 150% to $6 by 2030.

However, investors must always remember that cryptocurrencies tend to be volatile assets. For instance, XRP declined more than 20% from a record high five times in the last three years alone, and the altcoin is nearly 30% off its high today. Similar volatility is likely in the future. Investors who can’t handle price swings of that magnitude should steer clear.
