Cardano Eyes $10 Breakout
After recently crossing $1 for the first time in five months before pulling back, Cardano is eyeing a potential breakout that could set the stage for a 10x rally toward $10.
Crypto analyst Crypto Patel noted that ADA could be gearing up for a major breakout, potentially reaching double-digit price levels this cycle.
According to the analyst, ADA recently rebounded from a strong high-timeframe (HTF) demand zone, showing a strong bounce back from the key support.
The overall market structure remains bullish, with liquidity positioned above current levels.
Analyst Crypto Patel stated that if momentum continues, ADA could target $10 and beyond, emphasizing that “$10+ is not a dream—it’s on the chart.”

In the near term, the daily chart confirms a bullish setup, highlighted by a recent Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) crossover, where the 12-day EMA has moved above the 26-day EMA.
This indicator suggests momentum is tilting in favor of buyers, increasing the likelihood of an extended ADA rally. If this trend persists, Cardano could break through resistance at $1.04.
A successful breakout may pave the way for the next target near $1.60, provided that buying pressure continues to build.

ADA Open Interest Jumps 7-Month High
Cardano’s open interest (OI) peaked at $1.13B today, its highest since January, after rising steadily, following a July dip of 9.48% from long position closures.
The sharp increase in OI indicates rising trader participation and speculative demand, potentially fueling further price gains for ADA.
If ADA’s OI continues to rise, Cardano could break above $1 for the first time since March.
However, rising OI also increases risk: if sentiment turns bearish, a wave of long liquidations could cause a sharp pullback.
