Cardano (ADA) Nears Critical $1 Milestone as Founder Highlights $13 Billion Ecosystem Explosion
Cardano's native token ADA pushes against the psychological $1 barrier—a level not seen since the last bull run frenzy.
The Growth Engine
Charles Hoskinson, Cardano's founder, isn't shy about the network's progress. He points to a staggering $13 billion in value creation since launch—a number that would make traditional finance VPs blush, if they understood it.
Market Momentum Builds
Traders watch the $1 resistance with bated breath. A clean break above could trigger another wave of institutional FOMO—because nothing says 'sound investment' like chasing round numbers.
Meanwhile, traditional finance still can't decide whether blockchain is a revolution or just a really complicated loyalty program.
- Cardano is trading at $0.833 and holding above key weekly averages.
- Momentum indicators point to further gains if $1 is cleared.
- Founder Charles Hoskinson highlights ADA’s long-term outperformance against Bitcoin.
Cardano’s weekly chart is showing a stronger base after months of consolidation. The token trades at $0.833 and holds above its major moving averages.
The 20-week exponential moving average stands NEAR $0.773, the 50-week at $0.714, the 100-week at $0.605, and the 200-week at $0.584. This bullish stack confirms that the longer trend has shifted in favor of buyers.
Price has also remained within the upper half of its Bollinger channel, testing against the $0.961 higher band. Breakouts within this level tend to attract even more interest from momentum traders.
And the accumulation and distribution line continued higher in a predictable manner. That indicates continued net buying pressure, where investors remain buyers on minimal pullbacks rather than selling into rallies.
Close-term target lies within $0.90 to $1.00 supply region. Elimination and preservation of this level could trigger higher Fibonacci targets in 2025, starting around $1.83.
Momentum and Volatility Indicators
Momentum indicators are positive for further gains. The relative strength index on a week-on-week basis is 54, back above the neutral line of 50. This is a flip back to bullish rather than bearish conditions, but still some distance off before reaching overbought territory.
The moving average convergence divergence histogram has also gone positive, and lines are rounding out of the zero line. Historically, this shift has foreshadowed multi-week rallies.
Bollinger band position is a further noteworthy signal. ADA is moving out of the midline at $0.744 towards the higher band around $0.961. If such weekly closes remain above this range, further acceleration is likely.
Rejections here, however, can be catalysts for a mean reversion back into the $0.74 range. If $1 materializes as solid support, technical targets outline moves to $1.20–$1.25 and potentially $1.83 in a couple of months.
A break below the 20-week moving average in the region of $0.78 will spoil the bull view.
Hoskinson Stresses Cardano’s Long-Term Performance
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has responded to critics by pointing out the project’s historical performance. He indicated that since its launch, Cardano has beaten Bitcoin by a margin exceeding 200%.
He regarded the token as having been among the finest performing assets on a yearly and long-term basis. He further stated that despite ongoing criticism, ADA has gone up by 140% within the past year, against Bitcoin’s 80% increase.
Charles Hoskinson claims ADA is the "best performing asset of all time."

Hoskinson also recalled that Cardano was built having raised 108,000 Bitcoin in financing valued at about $13 billion today.
For him, this is a reflection of how much growth was achieved since its founding and why ADA’s power can never be undermined, entering a new era in the market.
