Cardano (ADA) is under pressure, down 4.5% in the last 24 hours, because its negotiation volume has also dropped by almost 19% to $ 640 million. Despite the outperformance of the start of the year against Bitcoin, Ada has lost momentum and is now down 26% for the start of the year.
The activity of the whales has cooled, the technical indicators have become lower and the action of the prices remains stuck between the key support and the levels of resistance. Without a wider Altcoin rally or a clear accumulation trend, ADA can continue to fight for short -term management.
ADA fell 26% YTD despite the BTC rally – Altes season necessary for recovery?
Earlier this year, Cardano surpassed Bitcoin, showing signs of strength in the first stages of the market cycle.
However, this momentum quickly faded and the correlation between the two assets began to weaken. While BTC is now up approximately 14% the year at the start, Ada has dropped by almost 26% since January 1.
This divergence highlights a change in the development of investors, because capital has favored greater and more established assets such as Bitcoin while many altcoins, including ADA, had trouble maintaining traction.
Even if Bitcoin has grown in recent weeks, ADA has not yet benefited significantly. This suggests that an increased BTC may not be enough to trigger recovery for Cardano.
So that ADE is a strong return, this may require a wider Altcoin rally – possible during a large -scale allusion season in the second half of 2025.
However, with the uncertainty of the market and the rotation of capital always favoring Bitcoin, there is no clearly guarantee that such a trend will materialize.
Cardano’s prospects weaken in the middle of the caution of whales
The number of cardano – additional whales holding between 1 million and 10 million ADA – is currently at 2,384. It is down from 2,413 days ago, but slightly up compared to 2,382 only two days ago.
This recent movement suggests that if the wider trend has shown a slight reduction in big holders, a certain accumulation can have returned in the last 48 hours.
Surveillance of whale portfolios is important because these addresses often influence the price through a major purchase or sale activity, and changes in their behavior can report changes in market confidence or strategic positioning.
Despite the small increase, the overall decrease in the number of whales in last week can reflect caution or profit among high children’s holders.
Without a strong accumulation of these entities, ADA can find it difficult to create a sustained increase, especially with wider attention on the market leaning towards Bitcoin.
A clear change in the accumulation of whales or wider altcoin entries would probably be necessary for Cardano to take up the traction.
The Cloud Ichimoku graphic shows that ADA recently broke under the blue conversion line (Tenkan-Sen) and is now negotiated under the red basic line (Kijun-Sen).
The upcoming cloud has become green but remains thin, suggesting low support for the bullish continuation unless the price returns and holds above.
The current positioning of the price below the two lines of trend and the cloud indicates a low -term perspective. For the momentum to move, ADA should recover the basic line and pierce the cloud with a solid volume and conviction.
ADA Linked Range: will it drop 8% or rally 13%?
Cardano Price is currently negotiated in a narrow range, captured between resistance at $ 0.707 and a support at $ 0.654. This consolidation zone opens the ground for a potential break – or a break – in future sessions.
If the support of $ 0.654 is tested and lost, ADA could slide towards $ 0.618, marking a possible correction of 8.6% compared to the current levels.
Such a decision would probably confirm a downward momentum and reflect a wider weakness of the market or the discoloration of the interest of buyers.
On the other hand, if ADA manages to exceed the resistance of $ 0.707, it could retest the following level at $ 0.731.
An escape confirmed above this area would move the upward short-term trend and open the door to a thrust to $ 0.777, representing an advantage of almost 13%.
In order for this scenario to take place, Cardano would need a sustainable purchase volume and a reversal of current technical pressures. Until then, the price remains linked to the fork, traders ensuring confirmation on each side.
