ADA holders might be fairly happy with the 30% pump last week, but considering that XLM, ALGO, and HBAR gained much more, they’re probably not fully satisfied. At the same time, Cardano’s founder is congratulating both XLM and HBAR for their strong price action during this period.

Let’s take a look at where ADA’s price could be headed next.

ADA Chart Analysis: Ready to Break Higher?

Looking at the daily chart, ADA has finally broken out above its 50-day moving average after several weeks of sideways action. This move is big, especially considering the token has now cleared the short-term resistance zone near $0.74.

There’s a clear horizontal resistance around $0.85 – an area ADA failed to break back in May. That level rejected price several times, forming a mini double top (highlighted by the brown circle on the chart). But if bulls can push ADA above $0.85 this time, there’s very little resistance standing in the way of a rally toward $1.00 and beyond.

The RSI is also pointing upward, sitting well above 70. That indicates strong bullish momentum, although it may also hint at overbought conditions in the very short term.

Analyst Sssebi posted on X:

“$ADA is getting ready for a massive moveOnce it breaks the resistance area at $0.85, which will basically be a higher high, it will be a free ride to $1+Great things are on the horizon for $ADA ”

That $0.85 level seems to be the key pivot. A clean breakout above it could lead to explosive upside.

Cardano’s Founder Tips His Hat to XLM and HBAR

While ADA builds momentum, Hoskinson showed class by congratulating the XLM and HBAR communities on their recent success.

“Congratulations to the teams and communities behind Stellar and Hedera,” he wrote. “You’ve weathered the storms and kept building.”

Congrats to Stellar and Hbar, they have weathered the storms of the past few years and are growing well.

Both XLM and HBAR have seen monster gains this month. XLM rallied 93% in just seven days, and HBAR surged 55%, fueled by smart contract upgrades, PayPal integration, and enterprise adoption. Hoskinson, a long-time advocate for collaboration over competition, praised their resilience and long-term vision.

This kind of leadership – and willingness to give credit to others – reminds the market that Cardano isn’t just a meme coin or short-term hype project. It’s part of the broader Web3 movement, working toward meaningful goals.

What’s Next for ADA?

Cardano’s setup looks strong right now. If bulls manage to break through $0.85 in the coming days, the path to $1.00 or even $1.20 becomes much clearer.

However, keep an eye on volume and RSI. If ADA consolidates below $0.85 for too long without momentum, we could see a brief cooldown.

Still, given how the broader altcoin market is heating up, and with Hoskinson’s positive energy resonating across crypto, ADA could be primed for its next big leg up.
