Cardano (ADA) is showing signs of a potential bullish reversal as it forms a cup-and-handle pattern on its weekly chart, according to analyst Giannis Andreou. This technical pattern, characterized by a rounded bottom followed by a consolidation period, suggests a possible breakout if ADA can reclaim the $0.24 level.
The cup-and-handle formation began after ADA rebounded from the $0.14–$0.16 range last month, indicating a potential shift in momentum. If the pattern completes, ADA could see a 73% rally to $0.42, according to the analyst's estimates.
Currently, ADA is trading at $0.2178, down 3.38% in the past 24 hours and 14.61% over the last week. The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with 
Bitcoin also experiencing a slight decline of 0.64% in the same period.
The cup-and-handle pattern is a well-known technical indicator that often precedes a bullish breakout. If ADA successfully breaks above the $0.24 resistance level, it could attract more buyers and lead to a significant price increase.
Investors will be watching the $0.24 level closely in the coming days. A confirmed breakout could signal a strong bullish trend, while failure to break through could result in further consolidation or a return to the lower end of the pattern.
Since this brief published about 16 hours ago, Cardano (ADA) has moved from ₹20.72$0.2178 to ₹20.84$0.2191 — +0.58%.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ADA ≈ ₹22.87 (about $0.2191), down 2.9% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
