Bullish or not, Cardano is a proven system that shows that a market downturn will not halt operations. As August comes forward, the apron comes comes in the 501st era, meaning Cardano had no downtime for over 2,505 days. This remains the most notable achievement of the platform itself, as downtime is the bane of any blockchain network.

The token’s position is indefensible. At the time of writing, the bears are currently trying to break the October 2023 price level of $0.302. If the bears manage to reach this level, the token will fall further and possibly return to pre-2024 prices.

If this happens, $0.302 will be a strong support level for an increase, recapturing the June-July price range of $0.407-$0.342.
