Cardano (ADA): Price outlook
The increase in volume is likely due to the fact that the price of Cardano has been on a tear lately, rising over 31.3% since the beginning of the week.
As a result, the price of ADA reached a high of $0.45, a level not seen since July. What comes next for the Cardano token remains to be seen, but this parade of green candles has definitely increased the sentiment and enthusiasm for ADA among traders.
The spike reflects a notable escalation in trading interest, positioning ADA prominently among the sector's highest ranks. With Cardano back in the spotlight and in the top 10 of the cryptocurrency market rankings, it will be interesting to see if this market old-timer manages to prove the critics wrong.
