The Cardano price is forecasted to reach $2.89801 by the beginning of October 2021. The expected maximum price is $3.62251, minimum price $2.46331. The Cardano price prediction for the end of the month is $2.89801, after the Alonzo Fork. But what will make it achieve $ 5 and when will it happen? Will Cardano position itself to replace Ethereum and tackle the issue of huge gas fees? 
If the target price for Cardano is $5 in the short term, that can happen as we know how good Cardano has moved so far. So it is not too difficult for Cardano to reach $5 but that will depend on bitcoin price moves.But I doubt Cardano can replace the Ethereum position because Cardano offers a small gas fee. After all, Ethereum is still the favorite of people and investors. But if that is long-term for the Cardano project, I think that will be possible because everything can happen in the future. So far, we can wait for Cardano to reach $5 first and then reaching the next high target price and that could be at $10.
