Cardano is back in the headlines after its privacy-focused sidechain, Midnight, secured a listing on Binance for its native token, NIGHT. The listing gained attention because NIGHT was featured on Binance Alpha’s front page and came with airdrop perks for eligible users. The move coincides with renewed momentum for ADA.

Binance Wallet confirmed that Binance Alpha listed NIGHT on December 9. Binance added that supporting the token aligns with its goal of promoting “rational privacy,” a core principle behind Midnight’s design.

The project aims to provide users with private transactions while still meeting regulatory standards that many older privacy networks struggle with. 

Midnight operates as a hybrid model, offering confidentiality without compromising compliance. This approach sets it apart from traditional privacy-focused chains. Interest in Midnight’s launch has spread across major exchanges. Bybit, OKX, Bitpanda, MEXC, and Gate.io all confirmed plans to list NIGHT.

Has Cardano (ADA) Entered a Strong Trend Reversal After Breakout?

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted on X that the increasing supply of Cardano (ADA) entering circulation is putting downward pressure on its price, pointing to potential short-term weakness for the network’s native token.

Meanwhile, Cardano’s ADA broke through a key downtrend this week. The move has sparked renewed optimism among traders after months of declining prices.

Cardano (ADA) is showing signs of a potential trend reversal on the 4-hour chart. 

The price has broken above a long-standing descending trendline that has kept the market under pressure since early October.

The breakout candle is strong and clean, signaling solid buying interest. ADA moved sharply from the $0.43–$0.44 range and is now trading above a level that had repeatedly blocked upward attempts in recent weeks.

The chart also highlights a shift in momentum. After a stretch of lower highs and lower lows, ADA formed a rounded bottom pattern through late November and early December. 

This breakout confirms that buyers have gained control for the first time in two months.

Volume is rising around the breakout, adding credibility to the move and suggesting that the upward push has underlying strength.

The chart indicates a potential upside near $0.70, suggesting a 56% gain from the breakout if bullish momentum persists. 

ADA is showing its strongest reversal signal since mid-year, with traders closely watching for consistent closes above the trendline to confirm a broader trend change.
