Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cardano whales sold 30 million ADA last week, adding pressure as EMAs turned bearish. With price slipping under key zones, the question lingers: how much deeper can ADA fall?<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The last 24 hours saw the price of Cardano [ADA]<\/a> rise slightly by about 2.50%. Also, trading volume spiked by 69% reaching $1.45 billion on the day.<\/p>\n

The founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, maintained that his goal was an ultimate win against Ethereum [ETH]<\/a>. Despite the rhetoric, whales moved in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Whales dump into rallies<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The last seven days have been characterized by strategic selling by whales. Per Ali Martinez on X (formerly Twitter)<\/a>, about 30 million ADA were offloaded in this period after the price hit a local peak of $1.01.<\/p>\n

AMBCrypto observed from the chart that the whales started selling at $0.92 as the price failed to cycle back to $1, an indication of bearishness kicking in. At the time, whale balance was at 5.57 billion ADA.<\/p>\n

This activity added downside pressure, but the price bounced slightly from an accumulation zone around $0.80.<\/p>\n

ADA trades below key EMAs\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the price charts, ADA was attempting to stay above $0.80 zone.<\/p>\n

A hold above this zone can indicate that Cardano’s price was in a cooling phase since the 14th of August high. The volume at this peak almost matched the one seen on the 2nd of March – that is, when profit-taking escalated.<\/p>\n

The long-term uptrend stays intact unless the higher low at $0.70 is breached. Yet the EMA cross indicator now signals bearish momentum, suggesting a slide toward $0.70 is in play.<\/p>\n

If $0.70 fails, the bullish structure breaks \u2014 opening the way to $0.57\u2013$0.51. That area marked the double bottom of the bear market.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, Smart Money could resume accumulation at $0.57, sparking a reversal. Without fresh demand, ADA risks further downside.<\/p>\n

Short squeeze or deeper slide?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

More downward potential was heightened by the massive shorts sitting right above the recent price action compared to longs below it.<\/p>\n

For context, about $17 million worth of ADA was clustered between $0.82 and $0.85 zones.<\/p>\n

A short squeeze of these shorts could trigger a move back to $1. Conversely, they could fuel selling that drags price below $0.80.<\/p>\n

By contrast, longs clustered around $0.78 were about half the size of shorts.<\/p>\n

This zone may serve as a reversal point. If price sweeps those orders and fails to rebound, ADA could drop toward $0.76 next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
