Cardano (ADA) is getting the “2020 blastoff” therapy once more — at the very least if you happen to ask Quantum Ascend, a technical analyst on X who says the chart is beginning to rhyme with the setup that preceded ADA’s final main run.
In a Dec. 13 video shared on X, Quantum Ascend (@quantum_ascend) instructed followers he’s been working via a longer-term weekly rely and thinks the market could also be grinding towards the top of a drawn-out corrective construction. The punchline: a “conservative” goal zone round $4.88–$5.50, and a “main” bull-run goal of $10.40.
“Cardano Mirroring 2020 Blastoff Second,” his post learn, earlier than laying out the 2 tiers: “Conservative: $4.88-$5.50” and “Main: $10.40.”
The Framework Behind The Cardano Worth Prediction
The framework he’s leaning on isn’t a clear five-wave impulse, he mentioned. As a substitute, he framed it as one thing slower and messier — “extra of like a big time-based macro correction right here on the D-wave,” he mentioned, describing what he believes is a triangle construction creating on the weekly chart.
“We’re making a triangle construction,” he mentioned. “So I’m going to be in search of the E-wave. That’s what finally ends up coming subsequent.”

A giant a part of the argument is confluence. Quantum Ascend walked via a number of measurements and trendlines, pointing to cost zones the place totally different instruments cluster. One reference level was a previous A-to-B drawdown vary that, in his view, nonetheless hasn’t been totally “closed out,” with a key degree “up there on the $5.50 mark.”
Then he zoomed out to the larger construction, highlighting how an higher trendline from a C-to-D drawdown “converges with the three.618 [Fibonacci extension] up right here,” which he recommended provides weight to the $10 space. “So some confluence for that $10 space,” he mentioned, pointing on the chart degree he known as out round $10.62.
He additionally reached for a relative-performance comparability — to not Ethereum itself, however to Ethereum Basic.
“I’ve one other video from the previous that compares Ethereum Basic to ADA,” he mentioned. “And if it finally ends up doing an identical transfer to Ethereum Basic, that additionally places us up into the $10 vary.”
Nonetheless, the near-term “secure” goal he stored circling again to was the $5 area. After strolling via a more moderen drawdown “going again to the highest of the Trump pump to the place we’re at now,” he mentioned a “full extension will get us fairly shut… round $4.88,” including that the $5 zone exhibits “a whole lot of totally different indicators of confluence.”
“For me, I’m going to say my conservative estimate for ADA goes to be that $5 vary,” he mentioned. Then he went straight to the headline quantity: “I believe ADA will get up there round 10 bucks throughout this bull run.”
To make the comparability really feel much less summary, Quantum Ascend argued the present chop appears structurally much like a previous interval earlier than ADA’s last breakout — a fractal-style learn. “You guys discover the similarities right here?” he requested, describing how each strikes get “stopped out a little bit bit above the 0.5,” roll over, then revisit the decrease trendline earlier than pushing again to the high quality.

After which he widened the lens past Cardano, tossing in a reasonably aggressive macro view that sits beneath the bullish alt targets. “I truthfully, guys, throughout the board proper now, I imagine that these corrections are coming to an finish,” he mentioned. “I believe we now have a blow off prime in inventory markets, in crypto and all of that coming.”
However he additionally burdened he’s not married to a long-duration “supercycle” narrative. “I’m not a long-term bull,” he mentioned. “I’m not [predicting a] Bitcoin super cycle to $400K.” His present bitcoin prime, he added, is $155,000 — and he expects alts to “severely outperform” within the last leg earlier than “it’s throughout.”
On the mathematics aspect, Quantum Ascend framed $10.40 as massive, however not absurd in a market that has already produced outsized multiples. “If we had been to get that 1040, 25X, proper?” he mentioned, evaluating it to prior cycles the place ADA noticed strikes he pegged at “168X” and “75X.”
“So we’re simply speaking a few 25er,” he added. “Not that loopy if you put it into perspective.”
At press time, ADA traded at $0.4022.
