Cardano (ADA) jumped over 12% in a single day, breaking above short-term 
resistance and drawing renewed attention from both whales and institutional 
funds. The surge coincides with steady accumulation by whales and mechanical 
buying from index-tracking products, signaling a potential shift after months 
of consolidation. Related Reading: XRP Rally Incoming? Analyst Forecasts 
March-April Recovery If This Level Breaks The combination of rising trading 
activity, renewed interest in derivatives, and steady accumulation by major 
holders has brought Cardano back onto traders’ radars. While questions remain 
about long-term network activity, recent price behavior suggests that market 
participants are ready for significant long-term moves. ADA&#8217;s price trends to

Allocation and Whale Accumulation Support Cardano’s Momentum On-chain data 
shows that large Cardano holders, commonly referred to as sharks and whales, 
have accumulated roughly 819 million ADA over the past six months. This buying 
occurred even as prices declined significantly, indicating that influential 
investors viewed lower levels as an opportunity to build positions. 
Institutional exposure has also increased. Asset manager Grayscale raised 
Cardano’s weighting within its Smart Contract Platform Select Capped Index 
fund to above 20%, making ADA the product’s third-largest holding. Although 
the adjustments are driven partly by index-tracking mechanics, the rising 
allocation highlights Cardano’s continued relevance among major smart-contract 
platforms. This accumulation trend contrasts with retail sentiment during the 
downturn and suggests longer-term conviction despite ongoing competition from 
rival blockchain ecosystems. Analysts often interpret sustained buying during 
price weakness as a signal that larger investors are positioning ahead of 
future catalysts. Technical Breakout Fuels ADA’s Price Surge ADA recorded a 
12% daily gain, rising from roughly $0.26 to above $0.29, as trading volume 
surged to nearly 4 times its average level. The move followed a breakout above 
key short-term technical levels after weeks of consolidation. Momentum 
indicators show a recovery phase underway. The RSI remains below overbought 
territory, leaving room for further upside, while trend strength readings 
indicate a developing directional move. Rising futures open interest, which 
expanded by nearly 30% in a single day, suggests fresh capital entering the 
market rather than short covering alone. Key levels now sit near $0.31 as 
immediate support, while resistance appears around $0.34 and the 50-day moving 
average. A sustained hold above these zones could reinforce bullish momentum, 
whereas rejection may trigger consolidation. Ecosystem Developments Add 
Fundamental Narrative Beyond price action, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson 
recently emphasized that the network remains competitive, citing the upcoming 
Midnight privacy project as evidence of continued development. The initiative 
has already attracted early partnerships and aims to expand enterprise and 
regulatory-compliant use cases. Still, mixed fundamentals persist. While 
derivatives activity and investor accumulation are rising, decentralized 
finance participation and total value locked on the network remain below 
previous highs, reflecting uneven ecosystem growth. Related Reading: Bitcoin

Cardano’s rally represents a notable alignment between institutional 
positioning and technical momentum. Whether ADA can sustain gains above 
current resistance levels will likely depend on continued capital inflows and 
broader crypto market sentiment in the weeks ahead. Cover image from ChatGPT,

Cardano (ADA) Among Today’s Top Gainers as Institutional Buying Aligns With Technical Breakout

Crypto analyst CasiTrades has warned that the XRP price structure has turned 
bearish, putting the altcoin at risk of a further decline. The analyst also 
suggested that the price could still crash below $1 as it looks to find a 
bottom. XRP Price Structure Shifts Bearish With Key Levels Below In an X post, 
CasiTrades stated that the XRP price structure has shifted bearish, with key 
levels below. She further revealed that price is starting to gather sell 
strength and that the trendline break is looking to form resistance. The 
analyst added that price is losing the B-wave low, shifting momentum toward 
supports. Related Reading: The Uncomfortable Truth About XRP That Shows How 
High Price Can Actually Go CasiTrades also stated that the $1.11 and $0.87 
levels are the main downside targets, indicating that the XRP price could 
still crash below $1. Meanwhile, the local resistance is at $1.40, with the 
analyst noting that as long as the price stays below it, the market is likely 
headed lower. As such, she believes that current levels are still a no-trade 
zone. She urged market participants to wait for lower supports to be reached 
or a flip of the $1.65 macro resistance. It is worth noting that the XRP price 
has recently climbed above the $1.40 resistance and could invalidate the 
bearish structure if it breaks above the $1.65 macro resistance, as CasiTrades 
mentioned. This rally has come on the back of Bitcoin’s rally to around 
$70,000 following a drop to as low as $64,000 earlier in the week. CoinGlass 
data shows an increase in activity in the derivatives market amid the XRP 
price’s rally above $1.40. Trading volume has surged by over 33% to $6.20 
billion, while open interest is up by over 6% to $2.39 billion. The long/short 
ratio is above 1, indicating that most traders are currently long on the 
altcoin. The Bottom Isn’t In Yet For XRP In an X post, crypto analyst TARA 
stated that she is not convinced that the bottom isn’t in for the XRP price. 
The analyst noted that an early indication that the bottom is in would be a 
break above the macro .618 level at $1.47. XRP is said to be testing that 
level as resistance right now, which TARA noted is a “super critical moment.”

Means For Price The analyst suggested that for the bottom to be in for the XRP 
price, it would need a clean break above $1.88, with such confirmation still a 
long way away. However, she added that a break above the macro .618 support is 
a really good first step and a key level that it needs to hold if flipped. At 
the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.44, up over 6% in 
the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from
