Cardano (ADA) completed its first green September in six years as the coin enjoyed a price gain of almost 8%. This is significant as the crypto could enjoy an extended rally in October, leading to more price gains for Cardano. Cardano Records First Green September Cryptorank data shows that Cardano has recorded its first green September since it launched in 2017. This raises the possibility of the crypto enjoying an extended rally since it presents a bullish outlook for ADA. Crypto analyst Plutus also suggested that Cardano could replicate Bitcoin’s monthly returns following its first green September.

Cardano imitating Bitcoin’s historical monthly returns in the last quarter of this year will be huge for the coin, considering that this is when the flagship crypto records its most profitable returns.  Specifically, October is historically one of the best months for Bitcoin, as the crypto has only recorded two negative monthly returns since 2013. Most of its gains have also been double-digits. Therefore, October could be huge for Cardano if it replicates BTC’s monthly returns.  Meanwhile, although October has historically not been a good month for Cardano, this time is much different, with these monetary easing policies presenting a bullish outlook for the crypto market. The US Fed rate cuts and China’s stimulus package were among the factors that contributed to ADA enjoying a monthly green candle in September. As such, the crypto could enjoy an extended rally as these monetary easing policies continue to roll out.  It is also worth mentioning that Q4 of 2023 was very bullish for Cardano as it recorded double-digit gains in October, November, and December. Similar price gains this fourth quarter will see ADA reclaim $1 and record a new yearly high in the process. This will provide a much-needed boost for the coin, considering it boasts a year-to-date (YTD) loss of almost 40%.  Other Factors That Support An Extended Rally From a technical perspective, Plutus noted that the current Heikin Ashi monthly candle is green, indicating a directional change on the cards. The analyst also revealed that the Weekly Gaussian channel, which flipped bullish back in February, is still green, suggesting that more impulsive moves to the upside are on the horizon for Cardano.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Market Not Over: CryptoQuant CEO Reveals Where We Are This Cycle Cardano’s fundamentals are also bullish.
