• Cardano (ADA) sees a massive surge in whale addresses, jumping by over 28,000% in just one day.

• Despite increased network transactions, bearish signals emerge in ADA’s derivatives market, with significant liquidations and dwindling interest.

Cardano (ADA) has experienced an astounding surge in large holder inflows, indicating a substantial increase in funds flowing into whale addresses. According to data from IntoTheBlock, there has been a remarkable 28,372% surge in large holder inflows for Cardano (ADA), skyrocketing from 54.93 million ADA on April 13 to 6.32 billion ADA on April 14.

The surge in large holder inflows for Cardano (ADA) signifies a potential uptick in buying activity. This surge often indicates whale addresses acquiring significant amounts of ADA on centralized exchanges and subsequently transferring these purchases to cold storage. Notably, spikes in large holder inflows can signal potential price bottoms, as whale addresses tend to make substantial purchases following significant corrections.

Moreover, the ‘Net Network Growth’ metric suggests a decrease in ADA addresses, indicating a departure of users from the ecosystem. Additionally, the ‘In the Money’ metric, which measures the number of ADA holders in profit, has experienced a decline. Moreover, large transactions on the Cardano network, typically indicative of whale activity, have dropped by 2.60%.

Increasing Cardano Network Activity

Additionally, Cardano has reached 89 million network transactions, highlighting the growing activity and utilization of its blockchain. This milestone underscores the increasing relevance and adoption of Cardano within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Data from Coinglass indicates a bearish sentiment prevailing in ADA’s derivatives market. Over the past 24 hours, $632,720 has been liquidated, with long positions accounting for the majority of these losses. The decline in trading volume within ADA’s derivatives market suggests waning interest among crypto investors. Particularly concerning is the drastic drop in Options trading volume, down by 92% in the last 24 hours.

While the surge in large holder inflows appears promising, it’s essential to consider the possibility of whale address outflows. Entities may transfer funds they’ve recently received for various business purposes, which could impact market dynamics. However, the Large Holders Netflow indicator suggests accumulation, indicating a potential positive trend for Cardano.

Current Status and Price Analysis

As of the latest update, ADA has declined by 2.61% in the past 24 hours, reaching $0.48, marking its second consecutive day of recovery.  The competition for dominance within the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization is intensifying, with various projects vying for position and market share. Currently, Cardano (ADA) boasts a market capitalization of $17.08 billion; it is worth noting that the volume declined by 30%. However, the overall outlook remains bearish, with multiple indicators pointing towards a potential price decline soon.

In related developments, Crypto analyst Alan Santana’s technical analysis aligns with these bearish indicators. Santana predicts a potential drop in ADA’s price range between $0.4444 and $0.3450. He emphasizes the importance of ADA finding a robust support level to reverse its downward trend. The ADA price strives for a rebound following a dip to $0.4 on April 13, the lowest level seen since early December 2023.
