Is a 130% Increase for Cardano on the Horizon? Exploring the Key Driver
Highlights:
- A 130% increase could be imminent for ADA based on historical trends.
- ADA’s price appreciation driver stems from the anticipated Chang hard fork upgrade this month.
- ADA’s Technical analysis highlights $0.422 as a significant breakout point.
Cardano (ADA) has emerged as one of the most hit cryptocurrencies in the market slumps, evidenced by declines across several variables. At the time of writing, the decentralized protocol is trading at about $0.368, following a subtle 7% upswing.

With ADA’s plunges across several specific periods, the 7% surge highlighted above could be deemed insignificant. Hence, it corroborates earlier assertion about Cardano being one of the most hit cryptocurrencies in the recent market slumps.
For context, Cardano has recorded declines of about 9.6%, 3.6%, and 17.4%, respectively, in its 7-day-to-date, 14-day-to-date, and 30-day-to-date variables. More worryingly, the embattled cryptocurrency has surged by a meagre 26.3% from the previous year, implying a marked debilitating state.
July Seems Promising for the Cardano Ecosystem
Aside from its subtle increase in a 24-hour time frame, July might look promising for ADA. Notedly, it showed signs of recovering earlier this month when it struck above $0.4. Unfortunately, the promising signs were short-lived, as ADA plummeted again following the broader market declines.
However, hope still abounds as the Cardano ecosystem is gearing up for a technical upgrade on its Chang hard fork. According to IntoTheBlock, the anticipated upgrade will be crucial in driving ADA’s price surge in the coming months. Interestingly, the data analytical platform noted that historical trends support ADA’s price surge assertion, underscoring a promising Cardano outlook.
Cardano is preparing for the Chang Hard Fork, set to occur by the end of July.

A 130% Increase Could Be on the Horizon for Cardano
Per IntoTheBlock, before ADA’s hard fork in 2021, the coin skyrocketed from $1.35 to $3.10, implying a 130% increase. Consequently, a similar upswing will likely reoccur with the 2024 upgrade drawing closer.
Considering ADA’s approximated $0.368 present selling price, a 130% spike would result in a $0.828 valuation. Notably, relative to ADA’s present $3.1 all-time high (ATH), $0.828 should be a reasonable target.
Cardano’s Chang Hard Fork Expectations
Unlike the 2021 Alonzo hard fork, which integrated contract credentials to Cardano via Plutus, this year’s upgrade will be unique. Its uniqueness stems from marking the final phase of Cardano’s developmental roadmap, the “Voltaire” era.
In addition, it will provide the necessary components required for Cardano’s network self-sustainability. It has a voting and treasury system that enables users to participate in Cardano’s developmental journey via voting and staking rights.
In brief, the system upgrade hopes to achieve a fully decentralized Cardano ecosystem by excluding IOHK’s management from the network. Hence, the new upgrade will mark a significant landmark for ADA in the competitive decentralized projects landscape.
Important Breakout Point For ADA’s 130% Increase
Before recently breaking below $0.371, ADA traded between the level as support and $0.379 as resistance. However, following market declines, ADA is currently testing the possibility of reconverting the newly established resistance at $0.371 to support. In a situation where the bear outweighs the bull, a decline towards $0.335 becomes possible.
If the bull perseveres, ADA will break above $0.371 in no distant time, after which $0.379 could pose another hindrance. Exceeding $0.379 will bring ADA closer to a critical level at $0.422. Finally, breaking above $0.422 might culminate in ADA’s price surge to $0.828.
