Hailey LUNC projects short-term goals around $1.20 and long-term possibilities up to $3.25 due to the expansion of the Cardano ecosystem amid Midnight, Hydra, and building CIP-68. ADA continues to trade in a discount phase, and breaking key resistance could align with the early stage of its prior rally cycle.
