Crypto prices remained broadly higher on Oct. 5 as Bitcoin traded near $86,000. Cardano, NEAR Protocol and Pepe also held above their recent recovery levels.
The three assets show different technical setups. ADA is approaching a possible golden cross, NEAR remains supported by elevated derivatives activity, while PEPE is testing resistance after a sharp rebound.
Cardano Price Prediction Eyes $0.30
Cardano token has done well in the past few months, soaring from a low of $0.1388 in June to $0.2736. The rally has coincided with the ongoing demand for Midnight (NIGHT) token, which opened its smart contract features last week. In a statement, Charles Hoskinson predicted that Midnight will one day be bigger than Zcash.
Cardano’s fundamentals have also improved, with the stablecoin supply soaring to a record high of $67 million. Its DEX volume also soared in the third quarter, a sign that it is slowly gaining traction among investors.
Technically, ADA price has formed an ascending channel and has just retested its upper side. It has also held steady above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. The two sides are about to cross each other, which will result in a golden cross pattern.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has continued rising and is now hovering near the overbought level of 69. A move above the upper side of the channel will point to more gains, potentially to the psychological level of $0.300.

Near Protocol Price Prediction
Near Protocol token has become one of the best performers in the market this year. It has jumped by nearly 500% from its lowest level this year. This surge happened as investors moved to artificial intelligence (AI) and privacy tokens. Near runs Near AI, a platform that makes it possible to purchase AI agents. It also runs a platform for facilitating private transactions.
Near Protocol token has moved above the important resistance level of $3.08, its highest level on June 3rd. Its highest point was on the upper side of the cup-and-handle pattern, a common bullish continuation sign. It has moved above the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, a sign that bulls are in control.
This rally is supported by volume in the spot and futures market. The spot volume jumped to $870 million today, while the futures open interest has crossed the $1 billion milestone.
The token has formed a bullish pennant pattern, pointing to more gains in the coming weeks or months. If this happens, it may soar to the next key level at $6. The risk, however, is that it may drop to the key support level of $3.08 as investors start to book profits.

Pepe Coin Price Forecast
Pepe Coin’s price has rebounded over the past few months, soaring from a low of $0.000002212 in July to the current $0.0000045. This rebound has coincided with the ongoing crypto market rally that has lifted Bitcoin and most altcoins.
Pepe formed a golden cross pattern on September 28, confirming the bullish breakout. Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has risen above the neutral 50 level. Pepe has also formed a series of lower lows and lower highs, while its volume has jumped.

Therefore, the token will likely continue rising as bulls target the key resistance at $0.0000053, which is about 20% above the current level. Soaring above that price will confirm a bullish breakout and could reach the psychological level of $0.5500.
