If ADA stays above $0.62 and clears the $0.85–$0.90 range, the price may begin a multi-month climb toward $1.15 and $1.74. This cycle is unfolding more slowly than the last, pointing to a period of accumulation before a larger move.

Hailey LUNC projects short-term goals around $1.20 and long-term possibilities up to $3.25 due to the expansion of the Cardano ecosystem amid Midnight, Hydra, and building CIP-68. ADA continues to trade in a discount phase, and breaking key resistance could align with the early stage of its prior rally cycle.
