Cardano on-chain metrics support ADA gains

Cardano, an Ethereum alternative cryptocurrency, rallied nearly 40% in the past month. The altcoin’s on-chain metrics, including Transaction Volume, and Active Addresses, support a rally in ADA. 

The transaction volume in ADA climbed in the past month, alongside Cardano price, as seen in the below chart from crypto intelligence tracker Santiment.

Cardano price enters crucial demand zone

According to data from IntoTheBlock, at Cardano’s current price of $0.6356, the token is in a demand zone that ranges from $0.6199 and $0.6822. Once Cardano price rallies past the upper boundary of the range it will not meet substantial potential supply until  the next price band at the $0.8457 hurdle. This suggests a fairly challenge-free ascent to that level.

The next ADA price target is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the move down from the April 4, 2022 top of $1.2436 to the December 29, 2022 low of $0.2369.

A daily candlestick close below the 38.2% Fib level at $0.6214 could invalidate the bullish thesis for Cardano.
