Cardano has slipped about 1.54% in the past day, but signs are pointing toward 
a turn in its fortunes. Traders have spotted a rare weekly golden cross on the 
ADA/USD chart. That happens when a shorter moving average crosses above a 
longer one. It can signal that buyers are gaining the upper hand after months 
of sideways action. Related Reading: Ethereum Sees $6 Billion In Tokenized 
Funds As Big Players Jump In First Ever Weekly Golden Cross According to 
analyst Mr. Brownstone, Cardano just logged its first‑ever weekly golden 
cross, with the 50‑week moving average climbing above the 200‑week line. ADA 
is trading at $0.60, under both its 50‑day MA at $0.66 and its 200‑day MA at 
$0.64. That gap means bulls need more firepower to push price back above key 
levels. Still, the weekly signal has many calling a bullish move ahead. Anyone 
else notice that Cardano just had it&#8217;s first Weekly Golden Cross ever? 📈🚀

Levels To Watch Based on examination from MasterAnanda, ADA will likely need 
to reclaim its 34‑period EMA and the 200‑day MA before a real uptrend can take 
hold. Many traders use those levels as checkpoints. If ADA closes above $0.64, 
it could draw new buyers in. On the flip side, a drop under $0.59 might 
trigger more selling pressure. Whales Return To Accumulate Analyst Ali 
Martinez has noted that large holders scooped up about 120 million ADA over 
the past two weeks. These addresses, each holding between 1 million and 10 
million ADA, now control roughly 5.5 billion ADA—worth around $3.3 billion at 
current prices. When big wallets pile in, it often suggests confidence that 
prices will head higher. But it can also lead to quick flips if whales decide 
to take profits. Whales bought over 120 million Cardano $ADA in the last two 
weeks! pic.twitter.com/HOjvzB6fqd — Ali (@ali_charts) July 8, 2025 Cardano: 
Forecasts And Sentiment Several price targets have emerged in recent weeks. 
Some analysts expect ADA to climb to $1.33, while others think $10 is within 
reach this cycle. Price prediction by CoinCodex points to a 25% rise to $0.74 
by August 8, 2025. Right now, technical indicators lean bearish, and the Fear 
&amp; Greed Index sits at 59 (Neutral). Cardano has seen 14 out of the last 30 
days end in green, with volatility around 7.54%, according to the price 
prediction site. Related Reading: 2% Of All XRP Is In His Hands — But Who Is 
He? Outlook And Next Steps Cardano’s weekly golden cross is a bullish sign, 
but price still needs to clear shorter‑term hurdles. Traders looking for 
confirmation may wait for ADA to close above $0.66 on the daily chart. Those 
already in position might set a stop‑loss below $0.59 to guard against a 
rejection. With whale activity back on the rise and long‑term targets ranging 
from $1.33 to $10, Cardano is once again on investors’ radar. However, broader 
market trends—especially moves in Bitcoin—will likely dictate whether ADA’s 
momentum can stick. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
