Cardano price breakout was cut short after the general market took a nosedive due to the Iran-Israel war escalation. In the meantime, Cardano has surpassed Solana (SOL) in terms of keyword search volume on YouTube, despite the latter seemingly being the most popular of the two. However, can the surge in interest translate to an ADA price increase?
Cardano Price Slumps Despite Increased Social Dominance Rises
A crypto content creator, David, noted that Cardano is beating Solana on YouTube in terms of social volume. According to data he derived from TubeBuddy, the keyword search volume for ‘Cardano’ was 2.6 million compared to ‘Solana,’ which came in at 234,000.

The 10X difference between Cardano and Solana reflects the disparity in interest among investors potentially seeking more information on the assets.
Solana has received some heat recently after footage of former NSA intelligence contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden at Token2049 criticizing Solana for being centralized made rounds on X. This may have contributed to the dropping metrics.
Data from Santiment shows that Cardano’s Social Dominance has increased since September 21, while Solana’s dropped over the same duration.
Cardano’s Social Dominance
This suggests that Cardano’s popularity has increased, which indicates that it is capturing the attention of a broader audience. Increased visibility often correlates with heightened investor interest and market sentiment, which can drive up Cardano price.
ADA price today is $0.3398, which represents a 3.2% drop in the last 24 hours.
ADA Price Analysis Hints Rebound Imminent To $0.5
For over two months, the Cardano price has oscillated between the $0.32 support and the $0.40 resistance. Currently, ADA is trading near the lower end of this range, around $0.339, close to support.
ADA is likely to find support around $0.32. If this level is broken, it could see a further drop toward the next support level, $0.285. On the flip side, the immediate resistance lies at $0.40, which has capped price rallies multiple times in the past months.
The On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator shows a lack of strong buying pressure, which matches the ranging price action. There’s no clear volume breakout, confirming the sideways movement.
Moreover, the relative strength index (RSI) is currently around 33.79, which indicates near oversold conditions. This suggests a potential bounce from the current support level at $0.32.
The most likely scenario is a bounce from the $0.32 support back toward the mid-range or upper resistance around $0.38-$0.40. Beyond this, ADA prices could break out of the range by 20% and reach $0.50.

However, if ADA fails to hold the $0.32 support, a deeper pullback toward $0.285 could follow.
ADA is currently in a consolidation phase between $0.32 and $0.40, indicating sideways price action. While the near-term outlook remains neutral, the market might offer a good buying opportunity at the lower range of $0.32, anticipating a bounce back toward $0.38-$0.40 resistance.
