Despite a challenging start to 2026, a Cardano enthusiast remains hopeful about ADA's potential for a bullish surge. The crypto market has experienced a severe downturn, with Bitcoin and Ethereum prices plummeting to $60,000 and $1,800, respectively, before recovering slightly. This volatility has also impacted altcoins, including Cardano's ADA. The Fear & Greed Index has dropped to a score of 8, indicating 'extreme fear' in the market. However, the Cardano supporter believes that the market's willingness to defend ADA's 2022 bear market bottom is encouraging. They suggest that a positive price structure could lead to a rally, although cautioning traders to remain logical and composed during these turbulent times.
