• Cardano futures volume reached $6.96 billion, a five-month high, and is an indication of renewed speculative interest.
• It trades at $0.96 on a market capitalization of $34.29 billion, up over 20% in one week.
• $1 breakout is identified by analysts as key, bullish target being $1.10, and bearish risk being $0.80.

Cardano (ADA) is drawing strong market attention after its futures trading volume soared to $6.96 billion, the highest level in five months. According to analyst Ali Martinez’s post on X, this milestone signals revived interest in ADA derivatives and highlights growing participation from traders worldwide.

Ali noted that the sudden surge in futures activity reflects heightened speculation around ADA’s next price direction. Increased futures volume often accompanies stronger sentiment and volatility, suggesting Cardano may witness sharper price swings. 

Cardano is currently trading at $0.913, rising over 11% in the last week. Its market capitalization has gone up to $32.62 billion. This rally has led to intense speculation that ADA could retest the $1 level, a psychological barrier that has not been reached so far this year.

Cardano Breakout Above $1 Could Trigger Rally

The surge in futures trading volume, as emphasized by Martinez, reflects increased liquidity and market depth. Historically, such rises in derivatives activity amplify volatility and often precede sharp directional swings. Traders are closely monitoring whether ADA’s breakout can sustain momentum or face renewed resistance.

If ADA succeeds in breaking through above $1, retail and institutional flows may speed up. This influx will strengthen bullish sentiment throughout the market. Experts concur that such a level is an essential validation point of sustained positive movement in the price structure of Cardano.

The RSI or Relative Strength Index on the hourly timeframe is almost at the midpoint, suggesting that there is still space for advance without the indicator reaching overbought conditions.

Resistance Levels Hold Around $0.95 to $0.98

An analyst Sssebi shared that symmetrical triangles have a bit higher chance of breaking the upper side. Support is building around $0.85 to $0.88, and resistance is still close to $0.95 to $0.98. The decreasing volume in this range underlines the pressure that typically precedes strong directional price movement.

Sssebi determined potential price targets based on this technical setup. On the bullish side, a confirmed breakout could drive ADA toward $1.10, aligning with the measured move from the triangle’s height. A breakdown on the downside can take prices down, and the key bearish target becomes $0.80.
