Cardano Input Output took part in Day 2 of TOKEN2049 Singapore today. The conference schedule lists Charles Hoskinson among the speakers, confirming main-stage participation on Oct 1–2. IOG’s newsroom page and the event site outline the sessions and timing.
Moreover, IOG’s social feed posted live programming from its “IO Village” today. The posts show morning sessions and on-site activity aligned with the event timetable. This validates the team’s day-two presence beyond the static agenda.
In parallel, Cardano community hubs compiled the Asia Tour stops that include Singapore today. The forum roundup lists TOKEN2049 on Oct 2 with demos and workshops, adding context to IOG’s schedule and travel plan.
Catalyst Fund14 voting remains open
Project Catalyst’s official portal confirms that Fund14 voting is open today and closes on Oct 6 at 11:00 UTC. The site also notes the voter snapshot on Sept 11 and the total budget to be allocated across proposals. These details set the current window for participation.
Additionally, Catalyst’s knowledge base reiterates the same end time and tallies timeline. It states that tallying starts on Oct 6 and ends on Oct 9, framing the post-vote process that follows this week’s ballots. These parameters help voters understand today’s relevance in the schedule.
Earlier planning materials show the intended voting phase from Sept 22 through Oct 6. Today therefore sits inside the official community voting period rather than a preview or recap, keeping the focus on active ballots.
Intersect elections window active
Intersect’s governance communication set October for full committee elections. The July guidance explains that every committee seat will be filled by elected members during this cycle, moving the organization to “full committee democracy.” Today falls inside that October window.
Intersect’s recent materials and committee documentation outline roles and processes that the elections will populate. While those pages are evergreen, they frame why the current nomination and voting steps matter now. This context links today’s activity to the broader governance build-out.
Historic development updates from last year also show October as the recurring elections month for Intersect. That pattern supports the timing and indicates continuity in how the community conducts committee selection each year.
Community update from Africa posted today
A fresh forum post today highlights CardAfrica2025’s “Blockchain to the Masses” initiative. The update notes a Cardano Summit 2025 award nomination for the Catalyst Africa Town Hall in the Ambassadors and Education category, reflecting ongoing community work. The post carries a “today” timestamp.
Furthermore, the note credits the wider community for supporting regional programs. It positions the nomination as recognition of sustained outreach rather than a single event. This gives today’s post program-level significance.
The same thread points readers to continuing activities tied to the campaign. Because it landed today, it documents real-time engagement as the ecosystem attends global events and votes in Catalyst this week.
ADA starts Q4 with breakout retest and upside targets
Cardano’s ADA/USD opened Q4 with a sharp bounce as a widely shared chart from BitcoinHopium highlighted a “perfect retest” of a broken downtrend and three upside targets. The move followed weeks of compression near the former resistance line, then a pullback to test it as support. Buyers stepped in on the retest, and momentum carried price back above the breakout zone.
The chart depicts a long descending trendline from late-2024 highs that price finally crossed in September. After the breakout, ADA slipped back to the trendline, tagged it, and rebounded—classic post-breakout behavior technicians look for to confirm a flip from resistance to support. Because this retest held, bulls now frame the structure as a base for a larger advance.
Three objectives are marked on the chart: an initial target around the mid-$1 area, followed by two higher targets in the $2-plus zone. These levels align with prior supply areas and round-number resistances on the daily timeframe. Traders will watch for continuation candles and rising volume to validate the path toward target one, then look for acceptance above it to unlock the higher objectives.
Risk levels remain clear. If ADA loses the breakout zone and closes back beneath the retested trendline, the bullish thesis weakens. A deeper pullback toward recent September lows would shift focus back to range support and delay the move toward those targets. Until then, the successful retest keeps the bias pointed higher into early Q4, with target one as the immediate waypoint.
ADA prints higher-low base; long-term targets map to $3, $5, and $10 zones
Cardano’s weekly chart from CryptoPatel shows ADA building a higher-low base above the 0.21–0.25 support band and holding its 2024 breakout retest. The chart marks two overhead resistances near ~$1.10–$1.20 (Resistance 1) and ~$1.90–$2.00 (Resistance 2). Price has respected these bands since mid-2024, keeping ADA in a broad consolidation while preserving the bullish market structure.
The setup compares today’s structure with ADA’s prior cycle impulse that began after a downtrend break and a horizontal accumulation. First, the chart highlights the base with multiple weekly closes above the pink support zone. Then, it plots measured vertical projections labeled “Bull Market Potential 1” and “Bull Market Potential 2.” The first objective aligns with a reclaim and acceptance above Resistance 1 toward the mid-$3 area, where prior supply sits. The second projection extends the move into the $8–$10 zone if momentum carries through Resistance 2 and holds above it.
Key confirmations remain straightforward. A weekly close through Resistance 1 with expanding volume would signal continuation, shifting focus to the $1.90–$2.00 ceiling. After that, sustained closes above Resistance 2 would validate the higher projection path. Until those triggers arrive, ADA likely oscillates between support and these resistance bands as momentum resets.
Invalidation is equally clear. A decisive weekly close back below the 0.21–0.25 base would negate the higher-low structure and delay the bullish roadmap. Moreover, repeated failures at Resistance 1 without higher lows would risk a deeper mean-reversion toward the base. For now, the preserved floor and capped range keep the chart constructive while the market waits for a break of the first ceiling.
