ADA: Symmetrical Triangle Breakout With A 40% Measured Move Target

Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) reached $0.195 for the first time since July 4, with its market cap up 24% over the past week, according to Santiment on X. 

The analytics firm noted that ADA has 7,070 fewer non-empty wallets than two months ago, pointing to stronger buyers absorbing supply while retail confidence has not yet returned.

The measured move from the triangle base projects a 40.92% upside target of $0.24.

Moreover, Cardano’s ecosystem activity has also picked up, with Leios testnet work, Hydra scaling progress, Mithril upgrades, Pyth integration, and fresh Catalyst funding all contributing to the backdrop.
