Cardano trades at $0.1794 on July 7, down 2.50% as price pulls back after touching $0.1858 on the 50-day EMA, a level that briefly gave way and is now the key zone bulls need to reclaim.
Is $ADA’s 35% Rally Running Into Its First Real Test?
The daily chart shows $ADA inside a recovery that has taken price from a low near $0.1400 back toward the 50-day EMA at $0.1858, with price now sitting just below it after a brief push above. The Supertrend (10,3) at $0.1536 remains well below spot, confirming the short-term uptrend structure is intact even with today’s pullback. The 20-day EMA at $0.1692 is the next support if $0.18 doesn’t hold.

The 100-day EMA at $0.2171 marks a horizontal support-turned-resistance zone that capped price repeatedly in the March-April period. That’s the next meaningful target if $ADA can clear and hold $0.1858. Key levels: support at $0.1786 intraday low and $0.1692 on the 20-day EMA, resistance at $0.1858 on the 50-day and then $0.2171 above.

Santiment data published on July 4 showed $ADA had added 14,783 non-empty wallets since the June 23 bottom, pushing holder counts above the levels seen before the SecondFi exploit triggered the peak FUD period in late June. Price peaked at a 35% surge from those lows and is now pushing back toward $0.20 for the first time in roughly a month.
Meanwhile, June’s FUD had plenty of fuel behind it: $ADA hit prices last seen in 2020, Hoskinson’s public comments about ecosystem failures unsettled holders, and drama around Cardano’s presence on social platforms added to the noise. Santiment noted that kind of panic has historically created better entry zones rather than confirmed breakdowns, and the renewed holder growth suggests the crowd is rebuilding trust after a stretch of rapid market cap losses.
Why Are Exchange Outflows Picking Back Up For $ADA?
The two largest $ADA exchange supply removal days since June 23 just came back-to-back over the weekend, meaning holders are pulling coins off exchanges at the fastest rate in nearly two weeks. That pattern, supply leaving exchanges during a price recovery rather than into it, tends to reflect accumulation rather than preparation to sell.
Hoskinson noted recently that Cardano development continues around the clock despite market conditions, comparing the current ecosystem strength favorably to the 2018 bear market, which he described as far weaker by comparison. The Leios testnet is live and further major protocol upgrades are lined up for the second half of 2026.

On the macro front this week, FOMC meeting minutes land Wednesday, which could be the most market-relevant event given it marks new Fed Chair Warsh’s first meeting, with easing energy prices and early signs of disinflation likely to frame the tone.
$ADA Price Prediction: Upside and Downside Targets
- Upside case: $ADA reclaims the 50-day EMA at $0.1858 with a daily close above it, exchange outflows continue, and price targets $0.2171 as the next recovery zone.
- Downside case: The 50-day EMA rejects price again, $ADA slips back toward the 20-day EMA at $0.1692, and the 35% rally gives back a meaningful portion before building a fresh base.
