Cardano Defies Recent Market Downturn With a 20% Surge – Here is Why

The cryptocurrency market saw widespread declines today, with many major assets losing ground following recent surges.

Bitcoin slipped below $90,000, dipping briefly under $87,000, while Ethereum fell to just almost $3,000. The memecoin market also experienced a dip.

In contrast, Cardano’s ADA stood out as one of the few cryptocurrencies defying the downturn. The token surged by 19.5% in the past 24 hours, trading above $0.67 after briefly reaching $0.70 earlier today – its highest price since mid-March.

Cardano has surged over 50% in the past week and reached a market cap of around $23.5 billion, with a 24-hour volume of $3.6 billion.

The rally came as Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s creator, revealed his involvement in a proposed group tasked with crafting a cryptocurrency regulatory framework under the Trump administration. This announcement sparked renewed interest in ADA, propelling it upward despite broader market declines.

In the past 24 hours $8.58 million were liquidated from ADA’s futures markets – $4.86 million in long positions, and $3.72 million in shorts.

The 1-day technical analysis from TradingView shows a bullish picture – the summary and moving averages point to “strong buy” at 16 and 14, respectively, while oscillators show “buy” at 2.
