Cardano has completed a golden cross on its daily chart, the first such signal in the last 14 months.
In the daily chart, the MA 50 crossed above the MA 200, completing the golden cross. Cardano has had multiple golden cross signals on the hourly timeframes, but the daily chart has not had a golden cross since August 2025.
A golden cross pattern was formed at the same time that Cardano rallied to a high of $0.92 on August 14, 2025. The altcoin, however, could not maintain its bullish momentum and faced increasing selling pressure in the following months. In November 2025, Cardano's daily chart formed a death cross signal, which was followed by months of downward price action before the latest golden cross.
It remains a significant week with positive fundamental developments as the Cardano golden cross appears.
Cardano was chosen as a public blockchain to guarantee the verifiability of sustainability related to aviation fuel and renewable diesel, as revealed in two new Petrobras initiatives this week. Cardano is also deepening its enterprise presence in Japan, announcing a partnership with Pacific Meta to combine Cardano infrastructure with local market expertise and enterprise integration.
On October 1, Cardano had a big day as 43,181 transactions hit the network, marking its busiest day in the past 7 days. Cardano was busy putting blocks to work.
Dijkstra upgrade progresses
Cardano node 11.1.3 was released this week as Dijkstra integration advances toward node version 11.2. 11.1.3 fixes the IPv4 decoding behavior introduced in 11.1.2, restoring network-order decoding used prior to the 11.1.x releases.
The 11.2 full release is currently expected about 2–3 weeks away and is expected to bring most of the Dijkstra scope, including the new block format and Plutus V4 context, but without Leios.
Public testnet "DijkstraNet" is expected to launch with 11.2 for ecosystem-wide testing and integration work to begin at scale. The release date for 11.3, the hard fork release candidate that will contain the full Dijkstra feature set, including Leios, is yet to be determined.
