Donald Trump’s announcement of ‘Crypto Strategic Reserve’ boosts Cardano price 

US President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform on Sunday a US ‘Crypto Strategic Reserve,’ including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP (Ripple), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), aiming to boost America’s crypto leadership.

He wrote: “A US Crypto Reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration, which is why my Executive Order on Digital Assets directed the Presidential Working Group to move forward on a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA. I will make sure the US is the Crypto Capital of the World. We are MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Cryptocurrency valuations leaped upward after this announcement, with Cardano rallying more than 70% that day.

Cardano Price Forecast: Bulls aiming for the $1.32 mark

Cardano price broke above a descending trendline (drawn by connecting multiple highs since mid-January) on Sunday and rallied 72.15%. When writing on Monday, it trades slightly down around $1.

If Cardano continues its upward momentum, it could extend the rally to retest its December high of $1.32.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 67, above its neutral level of 50, indicating a strong bullish momentum. Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator also shows a bullish crossover on Sunday, giving a buy signal and suggesting an upward trend.

Cardano’s Open Interest (OI) further supports the bullish outlook. Coinglass’s data shows that the futures’ OI in ADA at exchanges rose from $536 million on Saturday to $1.18 billion on Sunday, the highest level since early February. An increasing OI represents new or additional money entering the market and new buying, which suggests a rally ahead in the ADA price.

Another factor bolstering the platform’s bullish outlook is a recent surge in traders’ interest and liquidity in the ADA chain. Artemis data shows that ADA Chain’s trading volume rose from $536.9 million on Saturday to $8.4 billion on Sunday, the highest since September 2021.
