Some see a struggling altcoin still far from its glory days, while others believe the current setup looks like the early stages of major breakouts seen in previous cycles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A crypto analyst known as Crypto Patel on the social media platform X is leaning heavily toward the latter, and according to him, a $10+ ADA price <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/cardano-founder-midnight-deal-billions-tvl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">is only a matter of time.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Analyst Constructs ADA Comparison To Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<p>Crypto analyst Crypto Patel <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPatel\/status\/2038956979595673864?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">has compared the<\/a> current Cardano setup to Bitcoin\u2019s early days, arguing that the opportunity being presented now is one the industry has seen before.<\/p>\n<p>Posting on X, analyst Crypto Patel pointed to ADA&#8217;s recent commodity classification by US regulators and its position nearly 91% below its all-time high as evidence that crypto investors are mispricing a cryptocurrency that already cleared its most significant legal and price structure breakdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-890142\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cardano-chart-from-Crypto-Patel.png?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C281\" alt=\"Cardano\" width=\"512\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cardano is <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/cardano-shorts-pile-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">currently trading around<\/a> $0.24, a level that, on a bi-weekly chart spanning back to 2019, is right above a macro bullish order block identified by CryptoPatel. The macro bullish order block is a demand zone between $0.13 and $0.18 that has historically attracted significant buying interest.<\/p>\n<p>The asset is down roughly 92% from its all-time high of $3.09, a figure that reads as catastrophic in isolation but which CryptoPatel frames as an opportunity. The situation resembles a period when Bitcoin traded at depressed levels while facing skepticism among investors in its early days. Interestingly, Cardano is in a much better position because it just got classified as a commodity. \u201cThat&#8217;s like buying Bitcoin when everyone called it a scam,\u201d he wrote, \u201cexcept this time the government already said it&#8217;s legit.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What The Chart Is Actually Saying<\/h2>\n<p>The technical structure of CryptoPatel&#8217;s thesis is more layered than a single bullish callout. Technical analysis of the 2-week ADA\/USDT chart on Binance shows the complete macro cycle and how the ADA price may be bottoming.<\/p>\n<p>From its 2020 lows, the ADA price rallied 3,402% into the 2021 peak before entering a prolonged price correction. This prolonged correction led to the formation of a large descending triangle between 2022 and 2025, with a descending resistance trendline suppressing every recovery attempt. This led to a triangular price structure of lower highs and higher lows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When the price eventually broke down through the triangle&#8217;s lower support in 2025, that support flipped to resistance. The resistance level is between $0.45 and $0.50, and that range will need to be reclaimed for any meaningful recovery to take hold.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoPatel&#8217;s projected recovery path is staged: a reclaim of Resistance 1 at $1.20, followed by Resistance 2 at $2.95, before a full bull market extension toward $5.82 and ultimately $15.60. This final target represents a gain of about 12,471% from the cycle bottom.\u00a0\u201c$10+ ADA is not a question,&#8221; the analyst wrote. &#8220;It&#8217;s just a matter of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/aNSOYUAg\/\" alt=\"Cardano\" width=\"2108\" height=\"1636\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A prominent crypto analyst is pointing to similarities between Cardano&#8217;s current market position and Bitcoin&#8217;s early years.
