Cardano, once ranked top three amongst all cryptocurrencies during the bull run in 2021 has been experiencing drastic price declines due to widespread market correction. Over the past few months, Cardano’s price has consolidated around the $0.3 mark, witnessing only slight upticks during stable market conditions.  Generally, Cardano’s price fundamentals have been somewhat weak, dropping by a whopping 58.6% from its March 2024 price high. Atomic Wallet analysts have also noted that ADA has been on a major downward trend, plummeting by over 90% since around September 2021. The analysts also suggest that ADA’s downward spiral began following the launch of its smart contracts.   Responding to Atomic Wallet analysts, Dave, a Cardano development and DEX enthusiast, has highlighted that the altcoin is significantly undervalued. Despite the ongoing developments in its network and the upcoming Chang hard fork, Cardano continues to experience price and adoption stagnation.    Although the cryptocurrency’s drop from the top 10 cryptocurrencies may be disheartening for many in its community, various members still remain optimistic about the cryptocurrency’s future outlook. One Cardano supporter pointed out that the cryptocurrency had previously fallen as low as 17th in market capitalization on March 27, 2020. Yet, within a year, it rebounded dramatically to the top four during the bull cycle in 2021, demonstrating its potential for recovery and growth.   Tron Replaces Cardano In Top 10  Additionally, crypto analyst, KingCryptoAryan on X has shared a rather ambitious forecast for Cardano, expecting the cryptocurrency to surge as high as $75 soon. At the time of writing, the price of Cardano is trading at $0.34, recording a slight 3.10% increase in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
