Cardano (ADA) is poised to potentially dominate the cryptocurrency conversation, according to its founder, Charles Hoskinson. The digital asset is currently striving to maintain a critical support level, sparking speculation among market observers about a potential significant price surge in the near future.

ADA Tests Important Support
Following a general market uptick on Thursday, the price of Cardano has experienced a minor pullback, shedding about 4% in value over the last day. It has struggled to overcome resistance levels for the second time this past week. Since July, the alternative cryptocurrency has largely fluctuated between $0.72 and $0.96, peaking briefly at $1.01 in the preceding month.
Despite this recent decline, ADA has demonstrated resilience, holding the $0.85-$0.90 range as a support zone. Throughout Friday morning, efforts to stabilize the price around this level were evident. One analyst, Sebastian, cautioned that for a sustained upward trajectory, the cryptocurrency needs to achieve new higher highs. Failure to do so could lead to the formation of a “head and shoulders” pattern, potentially triggering a more substantial price correction.
Since the start of August, Cardano’s price has been trading above a rising support trendline, rebounding from this key level twice during the current month. As long as the price remains above this trendline, the analyst believes that ADA’s overall trend will remain optimistic.
Conversely, a breach of this trendline could potentially send the altcoin back down to a broader support zone, situated between $0.50 and $0.60. Market analyst Altcoin Gordon highlighted that ADA recently broke out of a descending resistance pattern that had been in place for many months, after regaining the $0.85 mark the previous week.
Since then, the cryptocurrency has revisited the trendline area, using it as a new support level, thereby validating the breakout. According to Gordon, provided the price can maintain its position above this level, Cardano could be primed for a “SIGNIFICANT upward move.”
Meanwhile, Crypto Kid, another analyst, suggested that seasonal trends in the fourth quarter could potentially lead to a repeat of ADA’s performance from the final months of 2024. It’s worth noting that during the November 2024 rally, ADA broke free from a nine-month downward trend, soaring by 270% to reach a three-year peak of $1.32.
The current price action of the cryptocurrency mirrors this historical pattern, with repeated retests of this key level on the weekly chart over the past couple of months. “I’m banking on ADA replicating its past performance, breaking out in October/November of this year,” the analyst stated.
Cardano ETFs: Catalysts for a Q4 Surge?
In a message shared late Thursday, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, expressed a confident outlook, claiming that the project is “going to break the internet.” While further details were absent, observers within the community have suggested that the growing momentum surrounding crypto-based Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) could potentially drive ADA’s upward trajectory.
On Friday, Grayscale Investments introduced its Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF (GDLC), marking the debut of a multi-asset crypto ETF in the United States. This investment vehicle comprises the five largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization: Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and, notably, Cardano.
Earlier in the week, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granted approval to the digital asset manager’s application to transform its Grayscale Digital Large Cap (GDLC) Fund into an ETF. Following this announcement, market participants are increasingly optimistic about the potential for a spot ADA ETF approval in the future.

According to data sourced from the Polymarket prediction platform, the estimated probability of the SEC approving such an investment product by 2025 has risen from 79% on Wednesday to 91%. It is worth recalling that the regulatory body postponed the decision deadline for Grayscale’s spot Cardano Exchange-Traded Fund in August, setting the new final decision date for October 26, 2025.
A consensus is building, with many anticipating the approval of the majority of spot crypto-based ETFs around the beginning of the fourth quarter, a development that could stimulate a “lively end-of-year” period for numerous alternative cryptocurrencies, including ADA.
At the time of this report, Cardano is trading at $0.89, reflecting a decrease of 1% over the past week.
