• Cardano (ADA) gains investor optimism after Hoskinson confirms Ouroboros Leios upgrade, potentially increasing network speed by 60x.
• Analysts note Cardano’s present technical zone may act as a catalyst for a significant price breakout.
• Layer-1 upgrade expected to deliver one of ADA’s largest performance improvements, attracting strong market and analyst interest.

Cardano (ADA) is showing renewed signs of strength as the market gears up for another possible price shift. There is more confidence because of the upgrades that will be rolled out soon. This comes after Charles Hoskinson indicated Ouroboros Leios would make the network faster.

At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.4365, supported by a 24-hour trading volume of $1.07 billion and a market cap of $15.74 billion. The coin has recorded a 0.7% rise over the last 24 hours, adding to growing optimism among investors.

Cardano Poised for Major Breakout

A well-known crypto analyst, Elite Crypto, pointed out that Cardano is currently in a “very interesting zone.” The cryptocurrency is trading amidst a support and resistance level that has always worked as a catalyst for major breakouts in the past.

Every time ADA has approached this level of support in the past, it has shown incredible gains. This development has caught the attention of several crypto enthusiasts.

As Elite Crypto points out, a possible break above the current resistance level could lead to a new local peak much sooner than anticipated in a familiar ADA technical pattern.

Cardano Layer-1 Upgrade Boosts Speed

Adding more insight to this discussion, another analyst, Angry Crypto Show,  shared insightful comments made by a researcher, Justin Bons. Bons commented recently about comments made by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson: “If you are so sure that ADA will scale, then you can consider me a future ADA supporter now.”

Hoskinson responded with full confidence, saying he is “100% sure,” thanks to Ouroboros Leios, a forthcoming improvement that aims to increase Cardano’s Layer 1 blockchain capability speeds by as much as 60x. This may prove to be one of the largest performance boosts in its history.

As favourable sentiment continues to build, along with strong analyst interest and a large impending upgrade, ADA has again become a coin to keep a close eye on as the market approaches a potentially very lively period.
