Recently, Trend Rider posted a question on X that has been in the mind of many Cardano (ADA) investors: “Are you tired of seeing other coins make big rebounds while $ADA lags behind?” It feels like this has been the sentiment of ADA’s recent performance, which hasn’t seen as much action since Bitcoin and the rest of the majors picked up.
However, Trend Rider encourages the crypto community to take a step back and view it in a different light. Yes, momentum in ADA has definitely faded since its $3 peak in 2021, while Bitcoin itself also cooled off; it remains relatively stable compared to Cardano.
That doesn’t mean all hope’s lost for Cardano, though. Trend Rider highlights that while the initial hype may be blinked away, theoretically at least, Cardano is an entire ecosystem; it’s no longer a promise but a reality, with huge developments ongoing.
According to the analyst, Cardano is a real test for investors chasing the newest trends, but the real test for Cardano remains its ability to deliver on its promise and showcase these advantages, setting it apart from other ecosystems. As ADA works towards new ATHs, the drive won’t be because of hype but actual achievements and progress.
Offsetting this, from a price-prediction perspective, the reduced momentum of this period can be quite strategic for those watching ADA’s price very closely, since it makes price movements more predictable and less by sudden news.
Analyst Draws Parallels to 2019 Cardano
Meanwhile, analyst macrosboy drew a parallel between Cardano’s current position and its status in 2019 when it was trading around $0.035. Back then, skepticism was high, and few believed in the potential of ADA’s smart contracts. Yet, by 2021, the token saw an astronomical rise, with its market cap skyrocketing from under $2 billion to nearly $100 billion.
Macrosboy sees a similar opportunity with $ROSE now, suggesting current levels may offer a considerable discount. However, with macro factors such as zero interest rates, potential changing political tides, and material increases in market liquidity, this altcoin season could be like the second coming of 2021. Macrosboy advises keeping one’s eyes peeled for the next wave of market euphoria because even some of the under-the-radar coins would make outsized moves.
