Key takeaways<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
ADA\u2019s long-to-short ratio edged above one to 1.01, indicating a slight tilt toward bullish positioning.<\/span><\/li>\n
Funding turned positive and reached 0.0061%, with longs paying shorts.<\/span><\/li>\n
ADA holds above its major daily EMAs, with immediate support at $0.245 and resistance at $0.299.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cardano recovered above a key support zone on Monday, trading near $0.250 as derivatives positioning improved following last week\u2019s 2.85% correction.<\/span><\/p>\n
ADA remains above its major daily exponential moving averages, supporting a constructive near-term outlook. However, mixed momentum and signs of sell-side pressure suggest the recovery still faces obstacles.<\/span><\/p>\n
Cardano derivatives positioning turns more positive<\/h2>\n
CoinGlass\u2019 <\/span>long-to-short ratio for ADA<\/span> rose to 1.004 on Monday, moving slightly above the neutral threshold of one.<\/span><\/p>\n
The reading suggests longs marginally outnumber shorts within the positions or accounts tracked by the metric. The narrow margin points to a modest improvement rather than strong bullish conviction.<\/span><\/p>\n
Cardano\u2019s funding rate also turned positive on Sunday and increased to 0.0061% on Monday. Positive funding means long traders are paying short traders, reflecting greater demand for bullish exposure in perpetual futures.<\/span><\/p>\n
Together, these indicators suggest sentiment has improved as ADA attempts to extend its rebound.<\/span><\/p>\n
CryptoQuant\u2019s summary data presents a more cautious picture. The platform flags overheating conditions in Cardano\u2019s spot and futures markets, alongside sell-side dominance. It also identifies large whale orders in the futures market.<\/span><\/p>\n
These signals contrast with the improving long-to-short ratio and positive funding, highlighting uneven positioning among traders.<\/span><\/p>\n
Bullish derivatives demand alone does not establish that spot buying will be sufficient to sustain higher prices.<\/span><\/p>\n
ADA holds above its major moving averages<\/h2>\n
At $0.250, Cardano trades above the 50-day EMA at $0.230, the 100-day EMA at $0.219, and the 200-day EMA at $0.241.<\/span><\/p>\n
Its position above all three averages supports the broader recovery structure. The horizontal level at $0.245 provides the closest support reference.<\/span><\/p>\n
Momentum remains moderately constructive. The Relative Strength Index stands near 54, above its neutral midpoint without indicating overbought conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n
However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator remains marginally below zero, suggesting the rebound has yet to develop strong upward momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n
The first downside test is $0.245, followed by the 200-day EMA near $0.241 and horizontal support at $0.236.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A deeper pullback would bring the 50-day EMA at $0.230 and the 100-day EMA at $0.219 into focus. Below those levels, the analysis identifies rising trendline support around $0.206 and a more distant floor at $0.150.<\/span><\/p>\n
On the upside, the next major horizontal resistance identified in the analysis is $0.299, where previous selling interest could limit an extended recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n
Holding the nearby support band would preserve ADA\u2019s constructive technical position, while stronger buying momentum would be needed to sustain a move toward that resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n
