Cardano (ADA) is facing the sharpest price correction on the daily chart among the top 100 projects by market capitalization. According to CoinGecko, ADA price has fallen 7.4% in the past 24 hours, 8.1% on the 14-day chart, 15.8% month-over-month, and nearly 60% since late December 2024. Despite being a popular and actively developed project, Cardano (ADA) pricing has faced significant challenges over the last year. Let’s discuss whether Cardano (ADA) will recover from the price crash in early 2026.
What’s behind Cardano’s price crash? Will it recover soon?
Cardano (ADA) is currently following the trajectory of Bitcoin (BTC). BTC gained some strength on Monday, December 29, 2025, but has since faced further price correction. This rally was probably a dead cart bounce. ADA’s lackluster performance is a reflection of the larger crypto market.
Cardano (ADA) rose to $1.14 in March of this year, but has faced a gradual decline since then. ADA experienced a significant price decline in October when the cryptocurrency market faced the most significant liquidation event in history. Since the October crash, ADA has struggled to gain traction.
Cardano (ADA) and the larger crypto market have fallen victim to larger macroeconomic uncertainties. October’s selloff was triggered by investors’ fear that another rate cut in 2025 was unlikely. However, the Federal Reserve cut rates by another 25 basis points in December. December’s interest rate cut was also not enough to propel the crypto market. Cardano (ADA) currently appears to be facing one of the biggest losses among the top 100 projects.
Cardano (ADA) will not recover from the price crash until the larger economy shows signs of improvement. Investors are moving away from crypto assets and choosing safe assets like gold and silver instead.
