After more than five weeks of unrelenting downside pressure, Cardano (ADA) 
finds itself approaching a potentially decisive juncture. In a new analysis 
published June 18, crypto analyst Quantum Ascend (@quantum_ascend) offered a 
fresh take on ADA’s price structure, warning that the final leg of a downward 
five-wave Elliott pattern may now be unfolding—with a critical resolution 
point drawing near. How Low Can Cardano Crash? “We dropped down into that 
second wave… and had it highlighted, it bounced from there. So we did call 
that correctly,” the analyst began, referencing earlier predictions. But 
despite the brief bounce, he now sees a more extended impulse playing out. “It 
does look like we&#8217;re turning this into more of a five-wave move down. So one, 
two, three, four, and working on a fifth wave now,” he explained while 
analyzing the one-day chart of ADA. Related Reading: Whales Dump Over 270 
Million Cardano In One Week – Bearish Signal Or Shakeout? At the core of the 
bearish outlook is Fibonacci confluence. Quantum Ascend pointed out that ADA 
currently hovers around the 0.702 retracement level, with the 0.786 level 
lying just beneath it—both key zones often associated with deeper corrections 
in Elliott Wave theory. “Makes complete sense for us to go ahead and drop in 
right to this area at the very minimum,” he noted. Yet despite the grim 
technicals, the analyst maintains that no structural damage has occurred—at 
least not yet. “As long as we hold the 51 cent level, nothing&#8217;s broken, it&#8217;s 
not a problem, right?” he reassured. The broader context, however, is less 
encouraging: “We need Bitcoin to catch a little bit of a bid or Ethereum or 
something. We need some kind of good news to come in to alleviate a little bit 
of this because the market’s just pretty much been bleeding… for over a month 
now.” ADA has underperformed relative to its peers since early May, with 
sentiment sliding alongside price. But Quantum Ascend encouraged viewers not 
to overreact to the current downtrend. “All it is is an opportunity to dollar 
cost average,” he said, before addressing the exhaustion many long-term 
holders are feeling. “I know what you&#8217;re saying, QA. I&#8217;ve been dollar cost 
averaging for seven months. I get it. I&#8217;ve been there.” Related Reading:

panic-sell or obsess over day-to-day moves, the analyst recommended mental 
distance and patience. “Go do something fun, it’s beautiful, it’s summer. Go 
do something else, anything else. But this thing is gonna resolve itself and 
alt season is around the corner,” he said. Despite short-term bearishness in 
the chart, his long-term conviction remains intact. “World War III is not 
starting. I could not have more conviction in all those things.” With ADA 
potentially entering the final leg of a corrective structure and broader 
markets searching for a catalyst, all eyes are now on whether support zones 
hold—or if Cardano is headed even lower before the long-awaited resolution 
finally arrives. At press time, ADA traded at $0.6158. Featured image created
