Cardano Bulls Face Crucial Test as Price Struggles Above $0.20

Cardano's price has surged by more than 25% in just one week, reaching an intraday high of $0.204 on August 7th.

This rally coincided with renewed interest in Cardano's development roadmap and network updates, including the Van Rossem hard fork and Ouroboros Leios upgrade.

Large holders accumulated around 240 million ADA before the breakout, while futures activity accelerated, with weekly trading volume rising from $150 million to nearly $650 million.

However, fundamental weaknesses remain, as Cardano's decentralized finance ecosystem lags behind larger layer-1 networks, leaving it vulnerable to a deeper pullback if buyers fail to hold support at $0.20.
