Cardano Price Faces 17% Drop Ahead of Hoskinson’s Roadmap Reveal
Cardano price is facing potential volatility ahead of Charles Hoskinson’s upcoming roadmap reveal at the Buenos Aires Cardano Summit. The asset had a good run last week but shed value over the weekend, abandoning a potential breakout and dropping out of the top 10 ranks once more.
Can Charles Hoskinson’s Post-Voltaire Roadmap Boost Cardano Price?

Hoskinson was invited as a keynote speaker at TechForum Argentina on October 19. He said he would harness the opportunity and platform to present the future of Cardano—the roadmap after Voltaire. Hoskinson was particularly excited to attend this event as he would be sharing the platform with Argentina’s pro-Bitcoin president, Havier Milei.
Such announcements are usually bullish catalysts for crypto assets but not for ADA. The ADA price has dropped 2.1% in the last 24 hours and is trading at $0.3853.
In addition, the asset has abandoned the previously anticipated breakout from a falling channel and is currently headed down. This selling pressure is likely to continue in the short term, as the Coinglass ADA liquidation map shows that Shorts have overwhelmed Longs.
With 9.16 million in shorts and 4.35 million in longs, the Cardano price is likely to succumb to sellers’ pressure until it reaches a zone of strong support.
According to the Cardano daily timeframe chart, this zone lies 18% below the current price, around $0.31.
ADA Price Analysis: Cardano Targets $0.31
Traders and investors are closely monitoring the strong support zone, approximately 18% below the current price, around $0.31. This level has become critical as the overhead resistance has thickened due to recent price rejections. From the Coinglass chart above, most shorts are between $0.388 and $0.4, making it challenging for ADA to break through this range.
Additionally, this zone coincides with the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), which further reinforces this zone as a strong resistance.
On the flip side, the Cardano price may find temporary support near $0.36 because this price level coincides with the 50-day EMA. If this indicator supports the price, the Cardano price may bounce and test 200-day EMA resistance for a second time.

If the 50-day EMA fails to hold the price up, Cardano may drop lower to $0.31, an 18% drop from the current price. Also, if the price bounces off the 50-day EMA but fails to break the 200-day EMA, it may end up forming a double-top bearish reversal pattern that is a strong indicator of down price movement. This may send the ADA price lower to $0.25, near the bottom boundary of the channel.
