Cardano ADA
Rank #18Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.1617, the 18th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation at $6B. Over the past 24 hours the price rose modestly (+1.93%), and across the last seven days it is -31.92% — a mixed tape where the daily and weekly trends disagree. Our composite Price Strength score reads 18/100 (bearish), liquidity health is 56/100 (adequate), and 7-day annualised volatility sits near 114% — higher than 71% of the top 100 coins.

Cardano Price Chart (7-Day)
Cardano Price Analysis
ADA has moved +1.93% in the last day, -31.92% over the week, and -31.92% over the past month. The all-time high of $3.09 was set 1739 days ago, leaving ADA at 5.2% of that peak. Reclaiming the record would require a 1,811% advance from here. With both the weekly and monthly trends negative, the path of least resistance remains lower for now.
Volatility & risk
Realised volatility for ADA is currently elevated, with a 7-day annualised reading near 114%. That is roughly middle-of-the-pack for a large-cap crypto asset. Traders should expect double-digit percentage swings within a single week to be normal rather than exceptional.
Liquidity & trading depth
Over the last 24 hours roughly $562.98M changed hands, equal to about 9.4% of the circulating market value turning over in a day. That is adequate turnover for a coin of this size, though large orders may still move the price. Liquidity health scores 56/100 on our composite, which blends 24-hour volume against market capitalisation.
Correlation with Bitcoin & markets
Over the past week, ADA's hourly returns show a correlation of 0.72 with Bitcoin. That is a tight link — ADA has effectively traded as a high-beta Bitcoin proxy, offering little diversification when BTC sells off. Correlation regimes shift, so this figure is a snapshot rather than a constant.
On-chain value & TVL
The DeFi ecosystem built on or powered by Cardano currently secures roughly $91.4M in total value locked (TVL) — the dollar value of assets deposited in its protocols. Against a market capitalisation of $6B, that gives a market-cap-to-TVL ratio of 65.63. A high ratio means the market values ADA well above the capital currently locked in its ecosystem — pricing in future growth that on-chain activity has yet to deliver. TVL is a useful gauge of real economic usage, but it rises and falls with token prices, so read it alongside the trend in deposits rather than the dollar figure alone.

Cardano Price Prediction 2026–2027
Our outlook blends three independent lenses. The technical model reads momentum as bearish and frames a near-term band of $0.1390 to $0.1746. The statistical model, driven by realised volatility, centres near $0.1462 with a one-horizon spread of $0.0162 to $0.3651. The relative model, anchored to how comparable top-100 assets have performed (median -16.57% over the past week), points to $0.1353 to $0.1644. Blending the three yields the horizon-by-horizon ensemble in the table below. Model confidence is High, reflecting data completeness and liquidity. These are probabilistic scenarios generated from market data — not guarantees, and not financial advice.

How this forecast is calculated
The ensemble blends three lenses — a momentum-based technical read, a volatility-driven statistical projection, and a relative model anchored to comparable top-100 assets — into a dampened, mean-reverting expected return whose low/high bands widen by horizon. Crypto is highly volatile; forecasts are probabilistic, not guarantees, and not financial advice.
Cardano Supply & Tokenomics
Cardano has a circulating supply of 37,160,010,596 ADA. Supply is hard-capped at 45,000,000,000 tokens, meaning 82.6% already exists and only 7,839,989,404 remain to be issued. A meaningful share is still to be released, so emission schedules are worth tracking for dilution. Fully diluted valuation and circulating market cap can diverge sharply when a large share of tokens is still locked, so both are worth comparing before drawing conclusions about value.
