Cardano Price Forecast: ADA/USD rally ends in bloodshed, will $0.10 hold?

  • Cardano retreats from the two-year high as buyers struggle to find support above $0.10.
  • ADA/USD declines will find support at $0.1150, $0.10, the 50-day SMA and $0.0800.

Cardano is retreating fast from the recently traded two-year high. The cryptoasset has been on an upward roll since June with the formidable gains attributed to the launch of the new Shelly mainnet. In addition to that, Coinbase custody announced the support for ADA.

Following the transition to the Shelly, which is likely to take a month, Cardano hit highs above $0.10. The rally continued and stepped above $0.14. However, further gains targeting $0.15 were cut short, instead, ADA/USD is in the middle of a gains-trimming exercise. At the time of writing, ADA/USD is trading at $0.1165.

The downtrend is supported by the RSI’s downward traction. If the RSI keeps retreating from the overbought, it would be a matter of time before ADA hits the support at $0.10. On the other hand, all is not lost for the bulls owing to the fact that the MACD is holding in the positive region. Moreover, bullish divergence hints that buying activities are still present.

If losses continue, support is anticipated at $0.10, the accelerated trendline (broken line), the 50-day SMA, $0.0800 and the main trendline. For now, attention is channeled at defending the short term support at $0.1150 which would then help to shift the focus back to $0.15.

Near Protocol slides below $5.00 after Near Intents $4M exploit
Near Protocol (NEAR) uptrend has been cut short, as the price slides below $5.00 on Thursday. The correction comes after an exploit on the network’s Near Intents services, which affected deposits and withdrawals across 11 crypto networks. NEAR is currently trading at $4.88, below the daily high of $5.54, while falling momentum indicators suggest that sellers are gaining the upper hand.
XRP loses momentum as ETF inflows stall
Ripple (XRP) shows signs of weakness as it slides below $1.50 on Thursday. The correction from September highs of $1.66 aligns with recent struggles faced by major assets Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). BTC currently trades above $83,000 while its upside is capped below $85,000. As for ETH, the smart contract token hovers between a narrow $2,600-$2,700 range.
Bitcoin beats September's curse: Is there enough demand for October?
Bitcoin (BTC) closed September with a 6.33% gain, breaking away from a month that has averaged losses since 2013. The buying that carried the rally, however, has thinned as October begins. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended a 9-day inflow streak on Wednesday, while long-term holders stepped up their selling. Meanwhile, a large wall of sell orders sits just above the current price.
Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH ranges as Citi raises target to $3,028
Ethereum (ETH) is trading above $2,600 on Thursday, while short-term supply caps upside at $2,700 ahead of a higher limit at $2,800. The smart contracts token mirrors broader crypto price action, with Bitcoin (BTC) struggling to regain momentum above $83,000. A breakout above the upper limit at $2,800 would encourage more traders to take on more risk, alleviating buyer exhaustion.
Bitcoin: BTC consolidates gains as ETF inflows hit highest level since October 2025
Bitcoin (BTC) price holds above $84,000 at the time of writing on Friday as it consolidates gains of over 4% so far this week. Institutional demand supports the bullish outlook, with spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recording a net inflow of $2.25 billion through Thursday, pointing to the highest weekly inflow since October 2025.
