COINTIKA.COM - Cardano's ADA token continues to defy bearish pressure, maintaining its position above crucial Ichimoku Cloud support since the start of 2025.

"ADA's consistent presence above the Ichimoku Cloud since January signals a potential long-term bullish reversal," stated a leading cryptocurrency analyst on X (formerly Twitter).

Since January 2025, ADA has consistently traded above the Ichimoku Cloud on the bi-weekly chart, repeatedly testing and holding the upper boundary near the $0.57 level. This persistent resistance-turned-support indicates a significant shift in market sentiment, suggesting a potential long-term bullish trend for Cardano. Prior to this, ADA primarily traded within or below the cloud, facing resistance around the $0.60 mark throughout 2023 and much of 2024. The decisive breakout above the cloud's upper boundary occurred in late 2024, establishing a new trading range between $0.52 and $0.60.

The most recent bi-weekly candle (as of June 26, 2025) showcased ADA's resilience. Opening at $0.54203, it reached a high of $0.59931 before closing at $0.57334, representing a noteworthy 5.78% gain. This successful retest of the cloud's upper boundary as support is a critical juncture for traders, signifying either continued upward momentum or a potential rejection. The key support zone remains firmly established between $0.57 and $0.59.

Ichimoku Cloud Analysis: A Long-Term Perspective

The Ichimoku Cloud, a versatile technical indicator, provides insights into trend direction and strength. Currently, the Tenkan-sen (conversion line) sits at $0.54173, the Kijun-sen (base line) at $0.80085, and the Senkou Span A and B at $0.82129 and $0.78160, respectively. ADA's price currently resides below both the Kijun-sen and Senkou spans but remains comfortably above the Tenkan-sen. This suggests short-term support while acknowledging longer-term resistance overhead. The substantial gap between the current price and the thicker cloud zone ahead presents a potential hurdle, but a successful breach could strongly confirm the bullish trend. Conversely, a breakdown below the cloud would invalidate the multi-month bullish setup and likely return ADA to a period of consolidation. The cloud's convergence in mid-2026 suggests a significant directional move may be imminent for Cardano.

Will Cardano Maintain its Upward Trajectory?

Cardano's sustained position above the Ichimoku Cloud since January underscores its significance as a bullish indicator. The $0.57 support level is now under intense scrutiny; repeated tests without a decisive breakdown suggest strong underlying support. Weekly price action positions Cardano within a crucial decision zone where trading volume and candle closures will dictate momentum. A breach below the cloud would likely intensify bearish pressure. However, continued bullish dominance could propel ADA back towards the $0.60 to $0.70 range.

The ultimate question remains: can Cardano maintain its Ichimoku support and continue its upward momentum beyond mid-2025? The coming weeks will be pivotal in answering this question and determining the future trajectory of ADA.
