Cardano Is Down Over 90% From Its Peak. ADA At Point of No Return?

Cardano has not had an easy run. Since hitting $3.10 in September 2021, ADA has dropped 91.9% to its current price of around $0.25, and the road down has been far from smooth.

A more recent peak of $1.019 in August 2025 gave some investors hope, but that optimism did not last. The coin has fallen 75% from that point, recording losses every month since then.

According to an analysis by CoinCodex, Cardano (ADA) has consistently formed lower highs and lower lows over this period, a structure that has worn down confidence and stalled repeated recovery attempts. The bears have had firm control for long enough that confidence in a near-term recovery is understandably thin.

Short and Long-term Signals Tell Different Stories

The technical picture on shorter timeframes does not offer much relief. A downward-sloping resistance trendline has repeatedly blocked any meaningful price recovery on the daily chart, and momentum readings have stayed weak throughout.

The 50-day moving average at $0.26 turned away buyers earlier in the week, and the 100-day moving average at $0.30 sits above that, adding another layer of resistance. Sellers remain in control on these shorter timeframes, and there is no strong technical signal suggesting that it is about to change.

What the Bigger Picture Shows

Pull back to a higher timeframe, and things look slightly less dire. The market cap has not been collapsing in a straight line. It has been ranging. This implies that some underlying demand is holding prices up.

That alone is not enough to call a bottom, but it does suggest the asset has not been completely written off. There are signs that accumulation could be taking place quietly, even if price action has not yet reflected that.

The Level That Could Decide Everything for Cardano (ADA)

The area between $0.13 and $0.18 is now the most significant zone on the chart. This range has attracted buyers in the past, and ADA is sitting right on top of it. If it holds, the argument for a broader recovery becomes more credible.

A break above the descending trendline from there would put $1.01 back in view, a level that lines up with the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement. This would represent a 304% gain from where ADA trades today. If $0.13 gives way, the outlook deteriorates, and deeper losses become more likely.

On the regulatory side, the SEC has formally classified Cardano as a digital commodity, grouping it with 16 other cryptocurrencies under that designation. This reduces the risk of ADA being treated as a security and clears up a long-standing uncertainty.
