Cardano’s native token, ADA, is again attracting the attention of investors and analysts alike as the cryptocurrency’s chart appears to echo its previous market cycle. Comparing its rise in 2020, market analyst Ali believes that ADA could be primed for a big run to $4 in the next few weeks. The parallels in price action, consolidation phases, and breakout dynamics make the present a delightful period for ADA fanatics.
The Past: Cardano’s 2020 Parabolic Rally
Looking back, Cardano’s journey from 2018 to late 2020 was marked by a prolonged consolidation phase. For 670 days, the cryptocurrency oscillated in a set range that pilled up $88.12 billion in ADA trading volume. However, the tipping point was after the COVID-19 crash in March 2020.
The adversity proved to be a catalyst, and on November 16, 2020, ADA broke free of its range-bound behavior. What followed was nothing short of exceptional. Over the next 342 days, the token experienced a rally, which resulted in a 4,095.73% uptick to the $3.10 level, marking its all-time high. During this surge, 44.18 billion ADA were traded, reflecting intense market activity.
Nevertheless, the rally wasn’t linear; at some point, before ADA rallied to its ATH, the cryptocurrency retraced 43.61% after hitting a resistance zone near a previous high around the $0.45 region. Despite the dip, the token rebounded and continued its upward momentum, ultimately reaching its peak.
The Present: New Opportunities, Same Patterns
Fast-forward to the current cycle and everything seems to be the same as it was back then. From mid-2022 to early 2024, ADA entered another consolidation phase lasting 457 days, though with a lower trading volume of 6.08 billion ADA, hinting at subdued market activity. As in 2020, the token eventually broke out, reaching a peak of $0.81 before correcting to a low of $0.27.
Yet, the rebound came quickly. ADA surged past $1.20, a level now serving as a critical resistance zone. Intriguingly, ADA has dipped by 43.65%, eerily mirroring its pre-rally behavior in 2020. Ali believes this correction might pave the way for a renewed surge, with projections suggesting a 2,211% increase, propelling the cryptocurrency to $4 by July 2025.
#Cardano $ADA is shaping up like it did last cycle, making me think a big move is near. A push to $4 might happen within a few weeks!

While optimism is high, ADA must conquer the $1.20 resistance to validate this bullish momentum. With historical fractals aligning and market anticipation building, ADA’s next move could redefine its trajectory. For now, cautious optimism reigns as the market waits to see if history will repeat itself.
