In a notable show of strength amid an otherwise subdued market, Cardano (ADA) has climbed above the psychologically significant $1 mark today, January 3. Over the past 24 hours, ADA has surged by more than 11%, outpacing the mostly flat performances of other top cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. Within the top 100 assets by market capitalization, only Murad-memecoin SPX6900 (SPX) has registered a higher 24-hour gain, rising 30%. Over the last seven days, ADA is up approximately 20%. Although the jump appears to have come without any immediate catalyst, Cardano’s roadmap is poised for several notable protocol enhancements in the coming months. Among them are a Bitcoin-centric decentralized financial ecosystem and ongoing initiatives aimed at improving Cardano’s scalability, decentralization, and interoperability with other networks.

These fundamentals suggest that the current price action may be underpinned by broader optimism about the network’s evolution, although technical factors seem to be the primary driver. “ADA pushing through resistance like its butter. This momentum is truly explosive. Pay attention to key resistance levels, this one wants to go higher,” crypto analyst Satoshi Stacker (@StackerSatoshi) stated via X. Cardano Price Analysis On January 1, ADA/USDT decisively broke out of a multi-week downward trendline that originated at the December 2 high near $1.32. This trendline had been tested repeatedly until late December, before finally succumbing to strong bullish momentum. Following the initial breakout, ADA briefly retreated to around $0.87, only to bounce back in a textbook retest that validated the trendline breach. Supporting the bullish narrative, Fibonacci retracement levels anchored at the December 2 high ($1.32) and December 20 low ($0.76) reveal a constructive technical backdrop. The 0.236 Fib at $0.89 served as a launching pad once the trendline break was confirmed, while the 0.382 Fib ($0.97) initially rejected prices on January 2, before later giving way to further upside.

The 0.618 Fib ($1.11) is the next key hurdle if bullish momentum persists, with the 0.786 Fib ($1.20) and the 1.0 Fib ($1.3282) potentially coming into play if the rally extends into the near-to-mid term. From a moving averages perspective, ADA has climbed above its 20, 50, 100, and 200 exponential moving averages on the four-hour chart. Notably, the 20 and 50 EMAs have crossed above their 100 and 200 counterparts, which indicates momentum has shifted in favor of the bulls. The volume picture further supports the breakout scenario, with 24-hour trading volume up 14.94% to $1.67 billion. A look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the four-hour timeframe shows a reading of around 80, placing ADA firmly in overbought territory. This demonstrates solid buying pressure but also suggests a possibility of a short-term pullback should traders opt to take profits. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst Swallow has predicted that the Dogecoin price could soon rally to $0.48. The analyst also revealed what needs to happen first before the foremost meme coin can enjoy this bullish reversal.

The analyst added that there needs to be more confirmations for this rally to be $0.48. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Price To $0.000045? Here Are The Major Support And Resistances To Watch Out For In line with this, Swallow remarked that the Dogecoin price needs to see a weakening near that EMA zone before going for a downward movement. He explained that any signs of volume building up at that range could lead to a further move toward the $0.40 and $0.48 targets. Crypto analyst KrissPax also recently provided a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price, predicting that a rebound was imminent. He stated that Dogecoin has broken out of a 2-week descending wedge. The crypto analyst added that after a retracement, the foremost meme coin could rally back over $0.40. In another X post, KrissPax revealed that the Dogecoin price just finished a retest on an upward-sloping resistance line as support and is already up 6% in this new year. He added that a continuation higher is expected. Based on the chart analysis, DOGE could rally to as high as $2, marking a new all-time high (ATH) for the foremost meme coin. The Dogecoin price could still rally to double digits in this market cycle based on predictions by several crypto analysts. One of these analysts is Dima James, who recently predicted that Dogecoin could cross $11 before this year ends. 2025 Is A Bullish Year For DOGE In a recent X post, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade also provided a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price. He stated that 2025 is a bullish year for the foremost meme coin. The crypto analyst added that the upper resistance line indicates the DOGE top in this market cycle could be $3.63.

Meanwhile, crypto analyst Master Kenobi also shared a prediction similar to Trader Tardigrade’s, predicting that DOGE could reach $3.4 in an “ultra-optimistic” scenario. The analyst is more confident that the foremost meme coin could at least surpass the psychological $1 level and reach $1.2. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.33, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
