Whales Buy ADA While Retail Sells: What It Means for the Price of Cardano

2 minutes, 31 seconds Read

Cardano is trading near USD 0.35 after a sharp decline, while the price is testing the key support at USD 0.32, with weak momentum, whale accumulation and February events in focus.

Cardano (ADA) is trading around $0.34 after dropping 6% in the last 24 hours. The stock is also down about 5% over the past week, continuing losses that started in late 2025. Since the beginning of the year, the token is down about 1%, in line with broader market weakness.

Market sentiment remains cautious. Ongoing geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran continue to weigh on risky assets, including ADA.

Important support applies for the time being

ADA is hovering near a support zone around $0.32, marked S1 on the weekly chart shared by Crypto Crew University. This level has previously held and is now being tested again. It is below the 21 and 50 week moving averages, meaning the longer trend is still down.

The Stochastics RSI has yet to form a bullish cross, meaning there is no strong signal of a momentum shift. Traders are waiting to see if this support holds or breaks.

On the daily chart, ADA is moving in a downward channel. The price recently rose from $0.33 and is now testing short-term resistance at the 20-day EMA ($0.37) and the 50-day SMA ($0.38). These levels must be cleared for any short-term increase. Analyst Mr. CryptoCeek commented,

“ADA has increased from 0.33 and is testing its moving averages – decision time.”

If it fails here, the price could return to the bottom of the channel near $0.33. A close above the downtrend line could open the path to $0.50. Meanwhile, the RSI is near 44, showing weak momentum. A push above 50 could help confirm a breakout if buyers intervene.
