Cardano is trading around $0.25 as analyst Eric Van Tassel says ADA remains in a nine-year compression pattern, with rising support and a descending trendline from its 2021 peak. ADA previously broke above $1 in 2025 but fell back inside the structure. It is now testing the upper trendline again, with chart volume around $307 million. Van Tassel has not called a confirmed breakout and seeks a weekly close above resistance followed by a retest.

Key points

  1. ADA trades near $0.25 as rising support and a descending trendline from its 2021 peak converge.
  2. Analyst Eric Van Tassel says ADA respected rising macro support for roughly nine years, excluding the COVID-19 crash.
  3. Cardano is testing the upper trendline again, with chart volume around $307 million.
  4. Van Tassel does not regard the latest move as a confirmed breakout.

Why it matters

ADA is testing a long-term resistance area that has capped advances since 2021. For crypto users, the analyst says a weekly close above resistance and a successful retest would be the confirmation signal for a breakout.

What's unclear

The reports cite different ADA prices, $0.2516 and $0.2478, at their respective observation times.
Whether ADA secures a weekly close above resistance and then a successful retest remains unconfirmed.
