Cardano’s price reached $0.269 on October 5 after a rally that saw it peak at $0.2768 earlier in the session. Analysts on X identified $0.275, $0.28 as the next resistance area, with $0.264 as a possible pullback level. TradingView’s Binance $ADA/$USDT daily chart showed Cardano trading at $0.2686, with a high of $0.2768 before retreating from the session’s peak. This latest advance extended a recovery from roughly $0.14 in late June, bringing the price back to levels last seen around May.
The daily chart indicated that Cardano was trading above its 20-day simple moving average at $0.2417, its 50-day average at $0.2211, its 100-day average at $0.1971, and its 200-day average at $0.2132. The 20-day average was above the other three readings, while the 50-day average stood above the 200-day average. The 100-day average remained below the 200-day line, leaving the longer-term averages in a different order from the shorter-term pair. At $0.2686, Cardano traded about 11% above its 20-day average and 26% above its 200-day average.
Analyst Alex Marzell described Cardano’s breakout from a range between $0.242 and $0.247, noting that one hourly candle had gained 6% on roughly 20 times the range’s normal volume. Marzell identified $0.275 as resistance after three rejections and made $0.27 the dividing line for his short-term outlook. Crypto Patel focused on the two-week chart and identified $0.2887 as his bullish confirmation level, stating that Cardano was about 98% above his accumulation zone. Patel’s longer-term scenario required a sustained higher-timeframe close above $0.2887, with targets of $0.50, $1, $2, $3, and $5.
