Cardano Price Prediction: Is ADA’s 5% CPI Rally Already Done or Just Getting Started?

AI Overview

ADA rallied more than 5% on July 15 after US CPI printed 3.5% versus an expected 3.8%, reclaiming the 20-day EMA but trading at $0.1644 on July 16, down 0.36% as it consolidated below the EMA. The Cardano Foundation joined the X402 payment network alongside Visa, Google, MasterCard, Circle, Coinbase and Stripe, and the Ouroboros Leos mainnet is scheduled for November targeting 10 to 65 times current transaction throughput, a protocol scalability milestone that should support crypto adoption and token outlook.

The Cardano Foundation’s addition to the X402 payment network alongside Visa, Google, and MasterCard arrived in the same week ADA mounted its most credible technical recovery since the June lows, keeping bulls cautiously engaged despite the modest pullback.
