The cryptocurrency market has entered historic territory this week, with Bitcoin (BTC) soaring to a new all-time high of $118,000. Ethereum (ETH) is also riding strong momentum, gaining 17% over the week. This widespread bullish wave is lifting major altcoins across the board — and Cardano (ADA) is emerging as one of the most promising candidates for further upside.
$ADA has jumped 26% this week. But beyond the price movement, a key chart pattern is grabbing attention: ADA’s current structure mirrors a recent bullish breakout seen in XRP, potentially signaling a similar move ahead.

ADA Mirrors XRP’s Breakout Structure
A side-by-side comparison of ADA and XRP on the daily charts reveals a striking fractal resemblance — a technical term for patterns that repeat across timeframes or assets.
Recently, XRP traded within a symmetrical triangle — a classic consolidation and continuation pattern. As the range tightened, XRP reclaimed its 100-day moving average and broke out of the triangle, flipping its 200-day MA resistance. This technical shift ignited a powerful 30% rally, which is still ongoing.

Now, ADA appears to be retracing that same playbook.
ADA has also reclaimed the 100-day moving average and just broke out from its own symmetrical triangle. It is now approaching a critical level — the 200-day moving average at $0.7499 — which served as the breakout catalyst for XRP. The structural alignment of ADA and XRP builds a compelling case for a bullish continuation if ADA can follow through.
What’s Next for ADA?
To validate this bullish fractal, ADA needs to decisively close above the 200-day moving average, ideally on strong trading volume. A confirmed breakout above this level would open the door for a move toward the next major resistance at $0.86 — which would represent a potential 20% gain from current prices.
However, traders should remain cautious. While the fractal resemblance to XRP is strong, ADA still faces resistance overhead. Failure to clear and hold above the 200-day MA could result in short-term consolidation or a pullback.
Still, given XRP’s successful breakout and the nearly identical pattern forming in ADA, bulls may want to keep a close watch.
