Cardano (ADA) traded mostly sideways on Thursday after a volatile week for the broader cryptocurrency market, as investors weighed mixed macro sentiment against increasingly bullish technical signals.
Notably, the crypto asset has climbed nearly 7% over the past seven days despite broader market volatility, fueling expectations that the cryptocurrency may be nearing a major breakout.
Meanwhile, analyst Javon Marks believes Cardano is nearing a critical technical point that could determine its next major trend.
According to Marks, ADA is approaching an important convergence zone where a successful breakout could pave the way for a substantial long-term rally.
The analyst identified the $2.90 region as his primary upside target, arguing that a positive reaction from current levels would significantly strengthen Cardano’s bullish market structure.
 
In his analysis, he noted that reaching the $2.90 target would represent a gain of more than 1,500%, making it one of the more ambitious forecasts currently circulating within the crypto community.
Adding to the bullish outlook, on-chain activity suggests large investors have been largely accumulating ADA.
According to popular analyst Ali Martinez, whale wallets accumulated more than 30 million ADA over the past week. Large-scale accumulation is often viewed as a sign that institutional or high-net-worth investors expect stronger price performance in the future.
The latest accumulation comes as several major cryptocurrencies continue to recover from recent selling pressure, with investors watching whether renewed demand will translate into a broader market recovery.
Furthermore, analyst “Master of Crypto” highlighted improving technical conditions for Cardano.
According to the analyst, ADA has continued forming higher lows within a rising price channel, a pattern that typically reflects strengthening buying interest. The cryptocurrency recently rebounded from channel support before moving back above a key price level, reinforcing the ongoing upward trend.
Based on this structure, the analyst projected an initial target near $0.219, representing roughly 25% upside from the current trading range if bullish momentum remains intact.
The forecast suggests Cardano could first challenge nearby resistance levels before attempting any larger breakout toward more ambitious long-term targets discussed by other analysts.
That said, analysts caution that confirmation of a sustained breakout will likely require ADA to decisively overcome key resistance levels before larger price targets become realistic.
At the time of writing, ADA was trading at $0.1695, reflecting a 3.05% loss over the past 24 hours.
