Cardano Price Prediction: ADA Hovers in Key Range, $0.38 Support Becomes Crucial for December Market

Cardano (ADA) price continues to fluctuate between the $0.40 and $0.45 range, with the market closely watching whether the key support at $0.38 can hold. Currently, ADA is trading around $0.43, just below the short-term resistance at $0.45. If it fails to break through the $0.45-$0.47 range with increased volume, the price structure may remain weak and range-bound until late December.

On the higher time frame, ADA has declined from its 2025 high of $1.32 and remains in a long-term downtrend. Although the RSI has bounced from oversold territory, providing conditions for a short-term rebound, the overall bearish macro structure remains intact. The main resistance on the daily chart is concentrated between $0.446 and $0.47 (including the 200-day moving average), while key support lies between $0.423 and $0.40. If this support is broken, the decline could extend to the $0.33-$0.35 range.

On-chain and news factors show that the Cardano Midnight privacy sidechain is progressing toward mainnet, raising market expectations for ecosystem development. A recent brief chain split event caused the price to drop to $0.38, highlighting concerns over network stability. Meanwhile, a 70 million ADA treasury grant for ecosystem development indicates continued internal investment. Derivatives data shows ongoing accumulation of leverage and short positions, leading to frequent false breakouts and increased volatility risk.

Overall, ADA is likely to continue consolidating in the $0.38-$0.48 range over the next 30-60 days. If trading volume picks up significantly and ADA breaks above $0.47 with conviction, it could retest the $0.50-$0.53 range and move toward $0.55-$0.60. However, if it falls below $0.38, a deeper correction is likely. At this stage, short-term trading strategies—such as positioning around $0.40 and gradually taking profits between $0.47 and $0.50—remain the mainstream approach.
