Cardano Could Rise To $27 After Bitcoin Halving

Cardano could surge to $27 after the Bitcoin halving if it replicates the 6,100% growth it recorded after the 2020 halving event.

The Bitcoin halving event is now less than an estimated 48 hours away and discussions surrounding the effects it will have on the crypto market have intensified. If history repeats itself, the impact of the halving and its influence on altcoins, like Cardano (ADA), could be significant.

Data confirms that each halving often precedes a massive rally in Bitcoin’s price and a subsequent escalation of the bull run to the broader market. 

During the last Bitcoin halving in 2020, BTC price pumped from as low as $8,500 to as high as $69,000 — an over 700% increase in price. In light of this, expectations for the imminent halving event remain high, as a repeat of 2020 has Bitcoin eyeing the $500,000 mark.

Interestingly, some industry leaders such as SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci expect Bitcoin to reach this price threshold. In November 2021, when BTC traded at $63,758, Scaramucci affirmed his confidence that it could easily reach $500,000.

Possible Impact of the Bitcoin Halving on Cardano

After the last halving event in May 2020, and the surge in price for BTC, altcoins saw significant inflows of liquidity due to the Bitcoin effect. Cardano’s price was around $0.05 at the time of the 2020 halving event. However, ADA witnessed 6,100% growth in price by September 2021 — reaching a peak of $3.10.

If ADA’s price witnesses the same post-2020 halving growth, it could see a huge change following this year’s halving event. Currently trading at a price of around $0.44, ADA’s price could potentially rise to as high as $27 if it follows the same 6,100% growth.

Besides the increased inflow of liquidity and investor interest, Cardano’s drive towards the adoption of decentralization and regular development add fervor to its price momentum. If Bitcoin does repeat its post-2020 halving success, ADA could witness similar gains or even exceed them. 

Cardano has also witnessed multiple price predictions from market analysts who remain bullish. For instance, analyst Ali Martinez stressed that he expects ADA to hit $9 soon. In addition, Chris, a Cardano bull, recently presented two possible trajectories that could take Cardano to $7.7 or $9.7.

While the optimism of these projections is based upon historical data, it is important to note that such scenarios are highly speculative. Amid geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel, interest rate instability, and the inclusion of institutional money in the crypto market, crypto market predictions are not certain.
