âCardano Isnât Dyingâ: Charles Hoskinson Defends Project Amid ADA Price Criticism
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson took X to defend the project from its detractors, arguing that the network has continued to grow and thrive despite the criticism. As ADAâs price falls 2.9%, some analysts warn of the next key level to watch out for. Related Reading: Worldcoin Drops 6% Amid Alameda Research 1.5 Million Token Sale, Will WLD Price Hold? Charles Hoskinson Defends Cardano On Thursday, Charles Hoskinson addressed the adverse response towards Cardano in an X post. Hoskinson noted that the crypto communityâs sentiment about the project has lately been more negative than usual. However, he argued that Twitterâs sentiment change isnât a reflection of the project failing âbut rather the desired result of Voltaire.â Cardanoâs âVoltaireâ era is set to turn the network into âthe most advanced blockchain governance system,â focusing on decentralized governance and its future sustainability. Hoskinson believes that Cardanoâs collaborative efforts and the transparency of the network is what sets it apart from the rest of the crypto space. âItâs why we are loathed by a lot of others. Their backroom deals and dirty tricks canât be hidden because there is no one to ask to do it under the table,â he added. In the post, the projectâs founder also underscored Cardanoâs âpassionâ for integrity and long-term vision for growth and progress: Short-term thinking, market manipulation, and companies seeking a handout have no role or place here. Thatâs the difference that makes a difference. Lastly, Hoskinson remarked that the project is not dying but âthriving and growing.â He that ADA is one of the last cryptocurrencies still wanting to be a real crypto instead of âthe patron of Blackrock and Wall Street for number go up preferences.â ADA Could See A 10% Drop Soon The crypto community reacted to Hoskinsonâs message, with many arguing that, regardless of the developments, the Networkâs âlack of volumeâ and âlimitedâ ecosystem growth remains a problem for its community. Meanwhile, part of ADAâs community agreed with Hoskinson, concurring that âit is the only chain that has truly built what I can only see as the groundwork to deliver on the promise of crypto.â Despite the ongoing criticism, some market watchers remain bullish about ADAâs future price action. Crypto analyst Dan Gambardello recently predicted that the cryptocurrency will âeasilyâ reclaim the $1 mark before yearâs end. To Gambardello, the exponential surge âcould happen fastâ and leave many âflabbergasted.â Additionally, he stated that after the 200% surge, ADAâs potential targets of $5 and $10 would âlook more realistic.â Related Reading: Experts Discuss What Made Solana Memecoins The Cycleâs Top Narrative Conversely, crypto analyst Sebastian warned about a key level to watch for following ADAâs recent performance. Earlier this week, the analyst highlighted that ADA showed signs of a breakout after retesting the trendline it had recently broken above $0.35. However, the cryptocurrencyâs price dropped 2.9% in the last 24 hours, falling below the $0.34 mark. The analyst signaled that ADA must hold the current levels as failing to bounce from the $0.335 level could send the token to a retest of the $0.30 support level. As of this writing, ADA is trading at $0.337, a 1.95% and 2% decline in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin On The Brink: Will $60K Hold Or Is A Major Correction Coming?
After briefly rising above $63,000 in recent days, renewing investorâs hope on âuptober,â Bitcoin has once again dampened this excitement by decreasing to as low as the $60,000 region today. This unappealing performance has led to a CryptoQuant analyst, Aytekin, raising and sharing insight on an important question: âIs it reasonable to expect a final shakeout before the next big move?â Related Reading: Is The Worst Over For Bitcoin? Analyst Suggests Local Bottom May Be Here Bitcoin Next Move: Major Correction Looming? In a recent post on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, the analyst explained that Bitcoin is currently in a high open interest zone, having exceeded the critical $18 billion level. Historically, when open interest levels reached this point, major corrections followed. The analyst mentioned that the current market sentiment appears divided, noting: The market seems indecisive in many aspects, with some believing that the next big upside move is on the horizon, while others think BTCâs downward trend remains strong. A common belief is that BTC may need a final shakeout before surging to a new all-time high (ATH). Aytekin added that funding rates, though slightly above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), suggest that long traders are still dominant. However, significant price corrections in the past often occurred when funding rates turned negative, which hasnât happened yet. Aytekin concluded that, while a final shakeout might occur, the depth of the correction may not be as severe given the relatively moderate funding rates. BTC Price Outlook As Bitcoin has struggled to break through key resistance levels, its recent price action reflects ongoing market indecision. Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin maintained stability above the $60,000 mark, but failed to make a major move to reclaim $70,000. In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has slipped by 2.9%, currently trading at $60,485. This decline follows the assetâs brief surge to $63,774 earlier in the week, which sparked optimism for a possible move toward the $65,000 and then $70,000 mark. Prominent crypto analyst Ali recently commented on Bitcoinâs price action, noting that Bitcoin is still trading within a âdescending parallel channel.â According to Ali, the asset was rejected at the upper boundary of this channel, signalling the potential for further downside. âWe might see a drop to the middle boundary at $58,000 or even the lower boundary at $52,000,â Ali noted in a post on X. Related Reading: Bitcoinâs Path To $80,000 âMelt-Upâ In Q4 2024 â Details Inside He emphasized that a bullish breakout is unlikely unless Bitcoin clears the $66,000 level, a price point that has acted as a significant resistance point in recent weeks. #Bitcoin remains stuck in a descending parallel channel.

Bitcoin Facing Potential Capitulation Amid On-Chain Liquidity Squeeze, Analyst Says
According to a crypto analyst, Bitcoin (BTC) may be heading towards a capitulation due to tightening on-chain liquidity. However, this capitulation could be followed by a âfull bullâ market. Bitcoin Headed Lower Before Higher In a detailed thread on X about BTC price analysis, crypto analyst Cole Garner stated that capitulation might be on the horizon for the leading digital asset. Garner attributes the potential downturn to tightening on-chain liquidity. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETF Options Set To Supercharge Price Volatility, Expert Warns Tracking global liquidity from central banks worldwide, the analyst said he sees a âbuy signalâ for digital assets. However, more downsides for cryptocurrencies could come before liquidity-enhancing measures undertaken by central banks buoy them. In his analysis, Garner stated that âif China doesnât ring that bell, the Fed or Japan should do the job,â likely pointing toward the recent economic stimulus injected by the Chinese central bank in a bid to boost the countryâs grim economic outlook. Garner referenced the recent economic stimulus from Chinaâs central bank but noted that this week, the Peopleâs Bank of China (PBoC) refrained from injecting additional liquidity, tempering expectations for risk-on assets like crypto. Garner emphasized the low supply of stablecoins compared to the beginning of October 2024. Analyzing the âBitfinex grail,â which is essentially the total supply of two leading stablecoins on the exchange â USDT and USDC â Garner noted its quarterly rate of change is declining, potentially leading to lower prices for digital assets in the short term. Despite these concerns, Garner pointed out that Bitcoin has printed a higher high on the 8-hour chart, and the market structure remains bullish. Even if BTC dips to its range lows in the high $40k range, the overall price action is still considered positive. Garner suggested that should BTC hit its range of lows, traders and investors can consider buying at that price. Even if they are low on liquid cash, they must ensure they donât get spooked by the market and panic-sell their current holdings. Another crypto analyst, Ali, seemed to echo Garnerâs outlook, stating that Bitcoin is stuck in a descending parallel channel and runs the risk of sliding to channel lows of around $52,000. The analyst stressed that BTC must overcome the $66,000 level for a bullish breakout. Can Bitcoin Hit New All-Time Highs In 2024? With the remainder of 2024 ahead, Bitcoin bulls anticipate interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to fuel a new rally.

Further, Bitcoinâs price finally turned green in October, giving bulls hopes of another âuptoberâ for the asset, which was marked by significant price increases.
