Key Takeaways

  • Whales now hold 6.71% of Cardano’s supply.
  • A recent breakout suggests potential new bull phase.
  • ADA will need to stay above $0.40 to confirm the uptrend.

Cardano (ADA) has recently experienced a significant increase in whale activity. Major holders added 11% more ADA to their portfolios over the past month. These whales now control 6.71% of the total ADA supply, signaling a strong bullish sentiment that could indicate an upcoming price rally.

Meanwhile, the price of ADA rose by 14% from its recent low of $0.40 on May 15 to a high of $0.48 on May 18. It is now 5% lower than it recent high. However, considering it made a breakout from its descending resistance, ADA could be ready for its next bull run. 

Cardano (ADA) Price Analysis 

Cardano has been in a significant downtrend since reaching a high of $0.80 on March 14. On April 13, it briefly dipped to $0.40 before rebounding above $0.44. It then climbed to $0.53 by April 23, hitting resistance at a descending trendline that started at the March peak.

After encountering resistance, the price fell back to test the $0.42 level for support and has since made a modest recovery.

ADA is testing the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. With the RSI on the daily chart just above oversold territory, a period of consolidation might occur before a potential rise. However, the overall structure suggests Cardano’s downtrend could continue if selling pressure increases and the price falls below $0.40.

This is why it needs to stay above $0.40 to confirm its breakout momentum, preferably making a higher low. If this happens, there would be an early sign of a starting uptrend, but a stronger confirmation would come if the ADA got past $0.60. 

In that case, Cardano’s price would form its first higher low and a higher high, hinting at the possibility of it headed to $1 for its next target.
