Ethereum's Price Drop, Cardano Predictions, and Further News: Bits August 1 Recap
The cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant pullback following the latest tariffs implemented by the Trump administration. However, several key factors suggest that this might be only a temporary correction, followed by another rally for Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), and Bitcoin (BTC).
Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum's price is currently testing a critical support zone around $3,600 to $3,700. Successful defense of this zone could trigger a short-term rally toward resistance levels at $3,784 and $3,899, signaling potential broader uptrend momentum in Q3 2025[1]. Negative factors include a recent net outflow of $113.19 million from exchanges, bearish momentum indicators like MACD, and RSI near oversold territory, indicating sellers are still dominant but a possible oversold bounce could occur[1][4]. Institutional buying, such as SharpLink acquiring $100 million in ETH, adds demand and bullish sentiment to the market[3].
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano's native token, ADA, has dropped by 8% in the past 24 hours to approximately $0.72, its lowest point since mid-July. Despite this, many analysts, including Ali Martinez, Hardy, and Smith, foresee a renewed uptrend for ADA. Ali Martinez believes ADA's current price structure resembles that of the last bull cycle. Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, highlights strong growth potential compared to Bitcoin, citing a possible 10x to 100x rally for ADA as opposed to Bitcoin’s 10x best-case scenario. This optimistic outlook is supported by Cardano’s evolving ecosystem and developments like the upcoming Midnight DeFi layer and the NIGHT token airdrop in H2 2025[2].
Bitcoin (BTC)
The recent dip placed Bitcoin around $115,000 with RSI below 30, indicating oversold conditions that historically precede rebounds[4]. Institutional buying is significant, with large BTC purchases reported, showing confidence among whales and institutions in the dip as a buying opportunity[3]. Macro-level factors such as rising odds of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September and global trade tensions are increasing demand for Bitcoin as a hedge against economic instability[3]. Regulatory clarity from ongoing US SEC initiatives, such as Project Crypto, is further boosting market sentiment and reducing uncertainty[3]. Grypto GEMs set a target of $150,000 for BTC.
In conclusion, the combination of critical technical support levels, oversold conditions evidenced by momentum indicators, institutional buying activity, regulatory developments, macroeconomic uncertainties, and fundamental innovations in blockchain ecosystems are jointly shaping the potential rebounds of ETH, ADA, and BTC after recent corrections[1][2][3][4]. However, failure to hold support levels or worsening market sentiment could delay or negate these rebounds.
