Whales Dump 100M Ada As Cardano Faces Key Resistance Level

Cardano (ADA) whales have sold over 100 million ADA tokens in just one week, according to crypto analyst Ali Martinez. 

The data, which comes from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, shows whale holdings now sit at around 5.65 billion ADA. This sudden sell-off has caught attention because it’s happening right as Cardano approaches an important price level.

At the time of the report, ADA is trading at $0.6438, with a small drop of 2.42% in the past 24 hours. The token is underperforming at the moment due to its 13% drop in trading volume recorded today at $682 million, with a 3% drop in market cap to $21 billion.

Looking at the daily timeframe on TradingView, there is a resistance zone at $0.6673, which has been tested a couple of times. If the price can climb above this number, it might lead to a rally. But if it struggles there, we could see a pullback.

However, Martinez warned that ADA’s price has reached the middle point of a descending channel on the 3-day chart. He says this could be a point where the price either moves up strongly or starts falling again. “This level is often a decision point,” he said. If ADA drops below the $0.63 support, the next stop could be around $0.54.

At the same time, the charts are showing signs of a possible upward breakout. On the 4-hour chart, ADA is forming an inverted head and shoulders pattern, which is a classic setup that can lead to a rally if the price breaks through the neckline, which also sits near that key $0.6673 level. If it does break out, ADA might head towards $0.88, and maybe even $1, based on Fibonacci levels.

Additionally, there is also a possible morning star pattern forming on the same timeframe, which is another bullish sign. 

The MACD indicator recently flashed a positive signal, showing momentum might be building. But at the same time, the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs are still pointing down, with a death cross between two of them, usually seen as a bearish sign.

Right now, the directions are uncertain and unclear. It really depends on how ADA will react to the $0.6673 resistance.
