The token remains beneath several major moving averages, suggesting buyers have yet to establish a sustained recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although momentum is approaching oversold territory, the broader setup continues to favor sellers. Any near-term rebound would face several resistance levels before materially improving the outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Derivatives positioning tilts toward shorts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CoinGlass data shows <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardano\u2019s long-to-short ratio at 0.92<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on Monday, close to its lowest reading in more than a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reading below one indicates that short positioning outweighs long positioning within the measured dataset. The figure points to a cautious market in which traders continue to favor downside exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ADA\u2019s funding rate also turned negative, reaching -0.0032%. Negative funding means short traders are paying longs to maintain their positions, consistent with stronger demand for bearish exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together, the metrics reinforce the weak price trend, although neither guarantees that losses will continue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CryptoQuant\u2019s summary indicators add to the cautious picture. The platform flags large whale orders and overheating conditions in Cardano\u2019s futures market. Its spot and futures indicators also show sell-side dominance, suggesting selling pressure extends beyond leveraged positioning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large orders alone do not establish the direction of whale activity. However, alongside the reported selling imbalance and negative funding, the data offers limited evidence of a decisive shift toward stronger buying demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>ADA remains below key moving averages<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardano\u2019s daily technical structure remains bearish, with its price below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These averages sit between approximately $0.218 and $0.237, forming a series of overhead barriers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Relative Strength Index stands at 33, just above the conventional oversold threshold of 30. That reading reflects persistent weakness while leaving room for a short-lived corrective bounce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator remains negative, with the MACD line below its signal line. Its subdued bearish profile provides little confirmation that momentum is turning in buyers\u2019 favor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-366519\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ADAUSD_2026-10-26_08-37-10.png\" alt=\"ADA\/USD 4-hour Chart\" width=\"1815\" height=\"887\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The former trendline break near $0.213 represents Cardano\u2019s immediate resistance. Above that, buyers would face the 100-day EMA at $0.218 and the 50-day EMA at $0.224. Further resistance sits around $0.236, reinforced by the nearby 200-day EMA at $0.237.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sustained move through that cluster would bring $0.245 into focus, while $0.299 remains a more distant barrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the downside, $0.200 is the nearest psychological reference as ADA trades just above it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For buyers, reclaiming $0.213 would be an initial improvement. A more convincing recovery would require ADA to overcome its moving averages alongside stronger momentum and easing selling pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Analysis,ADA,Cardano Price#Cardano #slides #bearish #derivatives #weigh #ADA1793005069<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key takeaways Cardano trades near $0.201 on Monday, extending its decline after three consecutive losing weeks.
