Cardano (ADA) has seen a massive surge over the past few weeks, rising over 81% in the last fourteen days. As the cryptocurrency continues to break above key levels, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst highlighted its potential 2,000% upside.

Cardano will reach $6 in the third quarter of 2025

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez forecast that Cardano could reach $6 by September 2025. Earlier this year, the analyst noted that the ADA chart had once again formed a pattern similar to 2020, suggesting that the cryptocurrency could experience a bull-like rally in 2020-2021.

According to the post, ADA emerged from a two-year consolidation in early 2020, then surged 75% and continued to consolidate for most of the year. By November 2020, the token had rebounded from its accumulation range and began a massive 4,000% surge that lasted for approximately nine months.

This year, Cardano saw a similar move in the first phase of the cycle, reaching a yearly high of $0.81, after which it surged 75% and consolidated in the price range of $0.6 to $0.27 for the last eight months.

Following the recent surge in the cryptocurrency market, fueled by Trump’s US election victory and the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 0.25, Cardano has experienced a massive 50% weekly surge.

Martinez previously predicted that ADA could experience a first surge in a rematch on November 18, about two weeks after the U.S. election. However, the cryptocurrency recovered the $0.6 support zone today and broke the $0.65 horizontal level.

The result represents an eight-month high for Cardano, which has been heavily criticized for its penniless performance compared to most altcoins. According to the chart, ADA may move sideways around this range for the next few days before challenging this year’s highest price.

If ADA continues to replicate the pattern of the last cycle, the cryptocurrency could reach the long-awaited $1 level by the end of the year. Additionally, it could surpass its previous all-time high (ATH) of $3.09 by Q1 2025 before entering price discovery mode.

Martinez suggested that Cardano could surge more than 2,000% towards the $6 level, peaking between July and September 2025.

ADA among contemporary market leaders

While most of the top 100 cryptocurrencies are trending sideways, ADA is up 21% in the last 24 hours. The token rose to third place in terms of performance today, behind XRP and ALGO.

In addition to general economic and geopolitical factors, its recent performance is also influenced by speculation about Cardano’s potential involvement in the Trump administration.

On Thursday, World Economic Forum (WEF) and United Nations (UN) member Shawn reported on X that re-elected President Trump is exploring a federal blockchain-based voting and identity verification system.

Speculation arose when another user X he claimed that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is “already in talks with the Trump administration,” arguing that he has “been working with the state of Wyoming on voting systems for several years.”

Last month, Cardano surged an impressive 84%, breaching the $0.65 mark for the first time since overdue March and reclaiming its top 10 spot in the cryptocurrency industry. At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.67.
