Cardano (ADA), which has achieved overwhelming success by surpassing Ethereum and Ripple to rank #1 in development activity within the global virtual asset ecosystem, is surprisingly facing a shocking prediction that its price could plunge to $0.10, trapped in a multi-year long-term bear market.

According to the crypto media outlet Bitcoinist on April 24 (local time), Cardano is leading the market at the forefront of innovation within the blockchain industry through continuous updates and infrastructure expansion. The dedication of developers, focused on long-term scalability and functionality rather than short-term price volatility, is solidifying the network's fundamentals.

According to data from Everstake, a global staking infrastructure provider, Cardano currently accounts for over 8.9% of the total Layer 1 market share. Notably, it has accumulated an impressive 478,100 code commits, surpassing competing mainnets such as Ethereum (ETH), XRP (Ripple), and BNB Chain to rank #1 historically. Everstake assessed that such explosive developer activity is the most reliable indicator of a project's long-term fundamental strength.

However, despite the network's brilliant technological growth, Cardano's actual market price remains stuck in a cold winter. Virtual asset analyst Tradingshot, through weekly chart analysis, diagnosed that Cardano has been in an endless multi-year downtrend cycle since December 2, 2024.

Currently, as the second downward wave of a 5-year long-term channel is underway, Cardano's current position, based on weekly bullish divergence indicators, closely resembles the recession period of June 2022.

The analyst warned that if the 2022 downtrend cycle repeats itself, Cardano's price could continue its freefall to the $0.10 mark by the end of this year. However, from a technical perspective, for investors preparing for the upcoming bull market, the $0.10 to $0.09 range would be an ideal long-term buying opportunity, the analyst added.
