Cardano has not been on essentially the most distinguished social media radars in 2021, nevertheless it has been one of many best-performing cryptocurrency property of 2021. By market capitalization, Cardano has swapped positions between 3rd and 4th place (excluding stablecoin Tether), behind Bitcoin and Ethereum. Its efficiency is staggering: +750% YTD. The share beneficial properties aren’t because of easy hypothesis and hype. The biggest DCG (Digital Foreign money Group), Grayscale, has just lately created a brand new ETF particularly for Cardano and contains Cardano of their Grayscale Digital Giant Cap Fund. Cardano continues to broaden and develop with essentially the most important improvement anticipated in late August/early September 2021: the Alonzo launch and launch of sensible contracts on the Cardano community. The basics stay sturdy, however it’s important to establish cyclical occasions and worth ranges sooner or later.
Key Cycle Dates – Anniversary Dates
In Gann Evaluation, the teachings of W.D. Gann focuses on an excellent many cycles. One of the necessary that Gann recognized was the anniversary dates of main highs and lows. He wrote that the date of a serious all-time excessive or all-time low would doubtless be an necessary date sooner or later. The picture above reveals two collection of vertical traces: crimson and black. The black vertical traces symbolize the final two weeks of Could, which is commonly a serious/minor yearly excessive or low. I recognized this date due to the swing excessive generated in Could 2018 – the primary important aid rally from the sell-off and bear market corrective transfer. Most just lately, the brand new all-time excessive was present in Could 2020. The next necessary anniversary date is the start of January. I recognized the start of January as the beginning as a result of the prior all-time excessive was shaped in early January 2018. January has been at or close to main yearly lows in 2019, 20202, and 2021. The present 2021 low is within the first week of January.
(close to the top write: January 2022 prone to be a major excessive or low and late Could 2022 prone to be a serious excessive if January 2022 was a low and a serious low if Jan 2022 was a excessive)
Key Cycle Dates – Cycles of the Interior 12 months
Gann recognized numerous cycles throughout a 360 – 365 day interval. The start of an interior yr doesn’t all the time begin in January, however nearly all the time at a serious excessive or low. The 2021 low was discovered on January 2nd, 2021. If we depend the times to the brand new all-time excessive shaped on Could 16th, 2021, we get 134-days. 134 is someday away from Gann’s 135-Day Interior 12 months Cycle. He wrote that the next is prone to happen throughout a 135-day cycle:
- The final excessive (or low) can finish a topping sample (or a bottoming sample if a low).
- If I excessive was discovered at 90-days (there was), then 135 is 45-days from a excessive.
- At all times look ahead to a change in tendencies.
- Quick strikes can begin.
The following main date is the 180 (can prolong to 198) day cycle. The latest main swing low on July 29th, 2021, was 198 days from the 2021 low. So 180-days from the July 29th, 2021 swing low is January 17th, 2022. The 180-day cycle is the second most vital cycle of the interior yr after the 90 (can prolong to 99) day cycle. Gann wrote this in regards to the 180-day cycle:
- Excessive likelihood of buying and selling close to assist or resistance.
- 180 days up or down usually begins a countertrend motion or reverses a pattern.
- 180 days from all important highs and lows have to be watched for pattern adjustments.
Starting with the all-time excessive (Could 16th, 2021), the next dates happen on the specified Interior 12 months Cycle
90-day cycle: August 14th, 2021
120-day cycle: September 13th, 2021
123-day cycle: September 28th, 2021
144-day cycle: October 7th, 2021
180-day cycle: November 12th, 2021
225-day cycle: December 27th, 2021
250-day cycle: January 21st, 2022
180-days from the July 20th, 2021 swing low is January 17th, 2021
Key Cycles – Minor Gann Time Cycle
In Gann’s cycle evaluation, he recognized six completely different minor time cycles: 13-year, 10-year, 7- yr, 5-year, 3-year, and 1-year.
January fifth, 2022, is the three-year anniversary of the primary main all-time excessive discovered on Cardano’s chart.
Together with this cycle is one I’ve found for Bitcoin’s cycles I name the 400 and 700-day cycles. Bitcoin’s bullish enlargement phases final round 1400 days, whereas the corrective actions final round 700 days. January 2022 is the top of the 700-day cycle.
Future Worth Ranges

I need to preface this subsequent part by saying I’m a standard technical analyst. Subsequently, whereas fundamentals do play a task in my general evaluation, fundamentals present the least quantity of weight in terms of my evaluation. That being mentioned, it’s onerous to argue with the anticipated enhance in Cardano’s valuations when the Alonso improve is full (sensible contracts are reside on the Cardano community). Cardano could have a large benefit in the complete cryptocurrency house, and it’s anticipated that it’s going to problem and even surpass Ethereum’s community in each market cap and utilization. It isn’t straightforward to quantify these statements, however ahead steering is all the time cloudy with an opportunity of sunshine and rain. One elementary projection that we are able to undoubtedly anticipate as a certainty is the continued development of use and cash within the cryptocurrency house. And Cardano will proceed to be a pacesetter in each market cap and use instances. So what are the worth ranges of significance within the close to future and distant future? How can we decide these values if they’ve by no means been traded earlier than? To try this, we search for a mix of pure harmonic worth ranges (derived from the identical math utilized in measuring harmonics within the gentle and sound spectrum), Fibonacci Expansions from important prior swings, and ranges derived from Gann’s Sq. of 9.
With out going into a major quantity of element, the worth ranges of future significance listed under have not less than three worth ranges derived from Gann’s Sq. of 9, Harmonic Ratios, and Fibonacci Expansions/Extensions and Fibonacci Confluence zones.
2.43 – 2.46
4.17 – 4.48
6.96 – 7.23
11.08 – 12.03
The next worth ranges listed under symbolize main assist zones for Cardano.
1.2998 – VPOC (Quantity Level Of Management) for 2021.
1.40 – 1.42
0.84 – 0.94
Elliot Wave Construction

The picture above reveals the close to textbook instance of an Elliott Impulse Wave on Cardano’s weekly chart. Waves 1,2,3 and 4 could possibly be thought-about full, with the ultimate fifth wave nonetheless growing. That’s assuming this construction is right. Wave 5 is often an inverse Fibonacci Retracement of Wave 4: 123.6% to 161.8%, or it may be equal to Wave 1 or 61.8% of Waves 1 + 3. The 123.6% Fibonacci degree of Wave 4 is 3.017, and the 161.8% Fibonacci degree is 4.2185. Once I’ve reviewed the final swings on this Elliot Impulse Wave, all the swings match up the suitable ranges – an important being the 161.8% extension of Wave 1 (1.8149).
Placing all of it collectively

If we assume that the 5th Wave of this Elliot Impulse Wave has but to finish, we should always be capable of discover a worth degree the place there’s a cluster of comparable worth ranges. For instance, the 161.8% extension of Wave 4 at 4.2185 matches completely with the cluster of Gann Sq. of 9, Fibonacci ranges, and harmonic ratios that we recognized between 4.17 and 4.48. The following step is to establish the date vary.
After reviewing the varied time cycles, the month of January seems to carry a cluster of cycles:
January 21st: 250-day Gann Interior 12 months Cycle
January 8th: 3-year Gann Cycle
January 2022: 700-day bull cycle completion
January 17th: 180-day Gann Interior 12 months Cycle
I anticipate Cardano buying and selling close to the $4.17 – $4.48 worth space across the center of January 2022.
If there’s a main blow-off high transfer, I anticipate Cardano buying and selling close to the 6.96 – 7.23 worth space. This is able to imply Cardano is buying and selling close to a market cap valuation close to Ethereum’s market cap.
Once we take a detailed look a the mixed evaluation for time cycles and worth ranges, we are able to get a tough estimate of what worth Cardano could commerce at and at what time. After all, some variance have to be given as this type of evaluation is as a lot an artwork as science. Nonetheless, what you need to take away from this evaluation is a good suggestion of the place and when Cardano could possibly be buying and selling sooner or later.
