Key takeaways<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • ADA is trading below key resistance zones, signaling a bearish near-term bias and limiting recovery attempts.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Whales are reducing their exposure to ADA, which could lead to further price decline.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Cardano (ADA) continues to trade under pressure, hovering below $0.250 on Friday as price action remains subdued beneath key resistance zones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    On-chain data from Santiment indicates that certain whale wallets have begun reducing their holdings, adding to selling pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Whales reduce exposure amid shifting accumulation trends<\/h2>\n

    Santiment\u2019s Supply Distribution data points to a weakening outlook for Cardano as large-wallet investors adjust their positions. Whales holding between 100,000 and 1 million ADA and 1 million\u201310 million ADA have collectively offloaded around 80 million tokens since April 19.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Furthermore, wallets in the 10 million\u2013100 million ADA range have accumulated approximately 60 million ADA over the same period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    This divergence suggests a rotation in holdings: mid-sized whales are selling, while larger entities are absorbing supply. Such behavior often reflects distribution at elevated levels, increasing short-term downside risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Cardano\u2019s derivatives data present a mixed outlook with a slight bearish tilt. <\/span>CoinGlass data<\/span> shows open interest falling to $444 million on Friday, down from $490 million on April 18. This indicates declining trader participation and weakening speculative demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Additionally, ADA\u2019s long-to-short ratio stands at 0.80, its lowest level in over a month. A ratio below 1 indicates bearish positioning, with more traders expecting price declines.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Despite that, the funding rate paints a bullish narrative. The OI-weighted funding rate turned positive on Thursday and currently sits at 0.0076%, suggesting that long positions are paying shorts\u2014often interpreted as a mild bullish signal.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Cardano price outlook: bears continue to halt recovery<\/h2>\n

    The ADA\/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Cardano remains technically weak, trading below $0.250.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The coin is facing immediate resistance at the 50-day EMA of $0.258, followed by $0.269 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) and the 100-day EMA at $0.294.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Momentum indicators remain neutral. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 51, while the MACD is flat just above zero, indicating a lack of strong directional conviction.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If the bearish trend persists, immediate support is found at $0.245. A breakdown below this level could expose ADA to further losses toward $0.220, a key prior-cycle support zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"ADA\/USD<\/p>\n

    However, if the bulls regain control and close above the $0.258 resistance, it would be the first sign of recovery strength, potentially opening the path toward $0.269 and higher resistance levels near $0.294 and $0.299.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    An extended bullish reversal would require a move above $0.323 and eventually toward the 200-day EMA near $0.383. <\/span><\/p>\n
