Massive Accumulation: Whales in Ambush

After a period of consolidation, the price of Cardano (ADA) seems poised for a breakout. Since early April, the price of ADA has risen by more than 40%, reaching a high of $1.19 before correcting to around $0.69. This rise in price has been accompanied by intense activity from whales, who have been accumulating large amounts of ADA. According to data from Glassnode, whales have accumulated more than 410 million ADA since April. This activity has been noted by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, who posted on X, formerly Twitter, that “whales accumulated more than 410 million Cardano in April!”

This period of accumulation has also been noted by other analysts, who believe that it could be a sign that the price of ADA is about to break out of its current trading range.

According to data from Tipranks, the price of ADA is currently trading at a pivotal juncture. It is juggling between the 50-day moving average at $0.673 and the 200-day at $0.773. A decisive move above the 200-day moving average could propel ADA towards the next resistance level at $0.83 or even $1. At least one analyst believes that a trend reversal in favor of bulls could be unfolding.

This would bring ADA to a crucial juncture in the short term. As noted by Ben Armstrong, host of the crypto analysis show "HarambeeCoin," signals from whales often foreshadow significant surges in price. Their strategy again seems to be following this same cyclical pattern of bullish anticipation.

However, other analysts believe that the price of ADA could fall if it breaks out of the current trading range. According to analysis by Point and Figure, if the price breaks down below the $0.66 support, then it could continue to fall to $0.60.

The current consolidation is occurring between the $0.67 support and the $0.75 resistance. This analysis also noted that the $0.66 support, which has structured the trend for several weeks, seems to be holding.

This analysis also noted that volumes remain stable, which suggests silent accumulation. There is less selling pressure and more patience among buyers. The 200-day moving average at $0.77 acts as a psychological ceiling. If this threshold breaks, ADA could climb quickly to reach the Fib +1 at $0.83 or Fib +2 at $1. Conversely, a decisive fall below $0.66 would lead to a drop toward Fib -1 at $0.60.

Signals are still mixed, but the fundamentals of the coin remain strong. According to data from Factor75, institutions are again showing interest in Cardano.

According to a recent report by Factor75, which tracks institutional fund flows, there has been a strong inflow into crypto funds in recent weeks. This interest is broad, covering both Bitcoin and altcoins. Among altcoins, Cardano is emerging as a preferred choice, with a significant increase in fund flows into ADA funds.

This institutional demand could quickly translate into price action if the market turns bullish. Many are waiting for a clear impulse, which fuels the tension. Nothing is decided yet, but the game seems ready to speed up. Each day of stability around these strategic levels reinforces the possibility of a major reversal. This apparent calm often hides the approach of a strong move.

The situation is tense, but the numbers speak for themselves. After a period of relative stasis, volumes are now showing signs of sustained increase. This sustained rise in volumes will trigger late buyers, who usually come in droves when prices show signs of surging.

After a period of decline, volumes are now showing signs of sustained increase. This sustained rise in volumes will trigger late buyers, who usually come in droves when prices show signs of surging. It is often at these moments that we see volumes performing a decisive role in amplifying and accelerating price trends.

Cardano has not yet said its last word. The big players have bet big on this coin, and their actions will surely have a major impact on the market in the coming days or weeks. It remains to be seen if the market proves them right. Many investors are still hesitant and prefer to wait for clear signals before making their move. But each day of stability around these strategic levels and the apparent calm often hide the approach of a strong move.
