Cardano [ADA] is among the top blockchains across the globe and recently hit a new peak in the Nakamoto coefficient of 16. This put Cardano as one of the most decentralized chains as prices slowly rebound.<\/p>\n

The altcoin has surged by more than 19% this week with daily gains averaging more than 6%. These gains resulted from Cardano transitioning to the Dijkstra development era. Can the price keep surging?<\/p>\n

Dijkstra launch fuels Cardano’s weekly gains<\/h2>\n

According to CoinMarketCap, Cardano came a distant second among the largest weekly gainers. SKYAI recorded 261% with MemeCore [M], Humanity Protocol [H], and Pieverse [PIEVERSE] wrapping up the top 5 list for this week.<\/p>\n

Cardano’s transition to the Dijkstra development era drove these weekly gains. This was a newly approved roadmap that made it the first chain to fund core development directly from its treasury.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the ecosystem was expanding to other blockchains. For instance, the chain connected with Injective [INJ] via The Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC), which was on testnet. Both INJ and ADA will be usable across the two ecosystems.<\/p>\n

As a result, the daily trading volume has also jumped by more than 78%, recording about $747 million. It jumped from $412.8 million to A 7-day sum of $3.50 billion.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Total Value Locked (TVL) rose by around 3%, reaching $88 million. The chain’s weekly DEX volume also increased by 17%, reaching $13 million.<\/p>\n

Moreover, such developments prompted the big players to position themselves. According to Santiment data, whales have accumulated over 240 million ADA in the past few days.<\/p>\n

Can ADA stay above $0.20?<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, Cardano’s price broke above the $0.20 resistance level, but there was some lag at this zone. The altcoin price has been ranging between $0.14 and $0.20 since July, aligning with whale positioning. The range followed a 41% sharp drop from $0.24 to $0.14.<\/p>\n

In support of this trend was the Bull\/Bear Power indicator, which turned green. The CVD showed that traders on Binance’s spot market bought more than 40 million ADA tokens.<\/p>\n

With the token clearing the $0.20 resistance that capped every recovery attempt this year, it exposed $0.24 and $0.30 as the next target areas. But failing to hold above $0.20, the altcoin may revert back to the range.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Cardano’s native ADA may rally higher if the chain developments continue.<\/p>\n

Final Summary<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Cardano surged by more than 19% this week after transitioning to the Dijkstra era, funding its development directly from its community treasury.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n
  • ADA price broke above a resistance level at $0.20, which has capped every recovery attempt this year.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
