Cardano (ADA) has fallen over the past year, down 68% on a 1-year basis according to data from CoinGecko. Cardano is in the green on the shorter timeframes (7, 14, and 30 days); the 1-year timeframe is the only one showing notable losses.

ADA fell from September 2025 to June 2026, marking only 1 green month (April 2026) out of 10.
The decline started after Cardano fell from $0.954 in September 2025 to $0.138 in June 2026 and caused a loss of the weekly MA 50 at $0.451. Since July, ADA price has rebounded, on track for its third straight month of gains if September closes in the positive.
Optimism surrounds October and it’s generally viewed as a positive month for crypto assets.

But Cardano has a different history to tell: Cardano fell more than 17% in October 2018 but rose 6.19% in October 2019. In October 2020, Cardano fell 8.27% and in October 2021 it fell 7%. ADA was down 6.22% in October 2022 and up 15.35% in October 2023. ADA was down 8.82% in October 2024, and down 24.42% in October 2025.

This means that Cardano has had only two out of eight Octobers that closed positive since 2018. For ADA, a sustained reversal would likely require more: buyers would need to take control again, with stronger trading volume and a series of higher highs and higher lows potentially providing confirmation that momentum is improving.

At the time of writing, ADA was down 3.22% in the last 24 hours to $0.247 as crypto bulls take a breather following a strong rally in the past week.
This week, investors turn their focus to a packed macro slate including PCE inflation, ISM manufacturing, and nonfarm payrolls, which could influence Fed rate-hike bets and the broader market.
