Two weeks ago, Cardano (ADA) was trading above $1.30. Today, it stands at $0.80, having lost more than 34% of its value in a sharp drop that erased critical support levels. The drop has left the token in what some might call free fall, with its recent moves looking more like a “falling knife” than a healthy market correction.
In this context, the popular market analyst Peter Brandt intervenes with his point of view. With decades of trading experience, Brandt’s observations often carry weight with investors. Their latest analysis highlights a head and shoulders pattern forming on the ADA price chart. The neckline of this bearish formation was set at $0.90, a level that has already been surpassed, adding drama to its forecast for further losses.
Patterns like these do not form in isolation. They often point to deeper trends, and for ADA, the implications are worrying. The head and shoulders structure suggests that the price can fall by an amount approximately equal to the distance between the “head” of the pattern and its neckline.

In practical terms, this could mean another 47% drop in the price of the Cardano token.
The community surrounding Cardano is optimistic and believes in the fundamentals of the project, but they may be divided on how to interpret this technical signal. The pattern shows price movement, not the underlying value of the blockchain, and traders often respond to such developments with caution or sell.
Even so, not only technical analysis is at play here. Market sentiment is subdued and ADA’s struggle to maintain key levels could signal declining confidence. We don’t know if this will play out as planned, but the drop below $1 and the subsequent drop below $0.90 is hard to ignore. Cardano is about to face a crucial test.
The coming weeks will show whether the cryptocurrency can defy the technical outlook or if Brandt’s bearish scenario plays out as expected.
