In a significant market development, Cardano’s (ADA) recent recapture of the long-lost $1 milestone has ignited optimism among investors and analysts. This achievement marks a remarkable comeback for the cryptocurrency, which had faced numerous challenges in breaking this psychological barrier for several years.
ADA’s resilience is evident in its current ranking as the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Over the past 24 hours, the token has experienced a 2.19% increase, further solidifying its 27.07% gain over the last week. At the time of writing, Cardano’s price stands at $0.9987.
A Bullish Outlook
The price surge has sparked widespread discussion within the crypto community. Analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that many observers had underestimated ADA’s potential to reclaim the $1 level. He also noted that some holders had considered this point as an opportune moment to exit their positions.
For years through the bear market, many didn't think $ADA would ever hit $1 again.

Many holders have been waiting to sell at $1.
Now that we've reached $1, it's great to see a consolidation and redistribution.
After this phase is over, Cardano can focus on $5 and $10.
However, Martinez views the current consolidation phase around the $0.999 region positively. He believes this period of redistribution could set the stage for a more sustained upward trajectory, with potential targets of $5 and $10.
Other analysts share this optimistic outlook, predicting that ADA could reach $10 to $12 within the next 6 to 12 months. This projection aligns with broader bullish expectations for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Whale Accumulation Fuels the Rally
A key factor contributing to Cardano’s recent price surge is the increased accumulation of ADA by large-scale investors, or whales. Recent reports indicate that whales have amassed over 130 million ADA tokens following a dip after the $1 breakthrough. As of November 27, their total holdings have surged to 3.2 billion ADA.
This whale accumulation has closely mirrored Cardano’s upward trend over the past month. Despite instances of profit-taking, ADA has maintained a consistent uptrend over the last three weeks, demonstrating resilience and strong underlying demand.
Cardano’s successful reclamation of the $1 mark represents a significant milestone, signaling renewed investor confidence in the project. The ongoing consolidation phase and whale accumulation suggest that ADA could be poised for further price appreciation in the near future. However, it’s essential to approach any investment with caution and conduct thorough research before making any decisions.
