On Wednesday (May 5), Van De Poppe said that he could see the price of Cardano’s $ADA token reaching $5.
Can #Litecoin reach $700?
— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) May 5, 2021
Can #Cardano reach $5?
Can #Chainlink reach $100?
Can #Ethereum reach $5,000?
Can #Zilliqa reach $1?
I think yes.
In case you are thinking that $5 sounds a bit too optimistic a price target for Cardano, it is worth pointing out that this is far from being the most bullish price prediction for Cardano. On April 10, crypto analyst Justin Bennett told his over 39.3K followers on Twitter that he would not be surprised if the $ADA price ends up in the $20–$30 range.
Translation: $10 $ADA is conservative, and $20 – $30 wouldn't surprise me.
