Cardano’s Déjà Vu: Is ADA Poised to Repeat a 457% Surge or Just Playing Pretend?

by
  • Cardano now pirouettes inside a consolidation channel—a wistful echo of its famously extravagant 2021 carnival.
  • Ever more investors clutching ADA tokens, as if they were tickets to the next big parade; could this hysteria truly propel the rally?

Cardano [ADA], much like an aristocrat after a bout of overindulgence, has been in a sombre decline over the past month, losing a modest 12.13% of its worth. One might say it’s feeling a trifle under the weather.

Yet, take heart! Such melancholia often precedes the sort of exuberant revival that would make Gatsby blush. History, that implacably sarcastic narrator, notes a striking resemblance to the languor of 2020 that preluded ADA’s 2021 apotheosis and all-time high.

Cardano limps once more into its familiar consolidation waltz

In a twist that must surely amuse the gods of finance, ADA’s weekly chart has donned the same coat and tie worn during its 2021 triumph. Having politely breached the dreaded supply zone—adorned as an orange rectangle like a gaudy cufflink—the asset retreated, sulked, and then, at last, charged, soaring to the princely sum of $3.10.

Now, our dear ADA tap-dances to the same tune: it has breezed past the same barricade and is consolidating with all the patient dignity of someone twiddling their mustache before a triumphant charge.

Should fortune smile upon this grim determination, the target’s clear: the hallowed heights of $3.10, a dizzying 457% ascent from today’s modest quarters. With a dollop of fanciful momentum, ADA might even scamper off to a princely $16 — a figure that sounds vaguely scandalous but certainly thrilling.

Market accumulation: ADA’s secret fan club grows unabashedly

Behind the scenes, that quiet conspiracy known as market accumulation is coaching ADA’s troupers into position.

Coinglass’s weekly Exchange Netflow data—effectively the nosy butlers of finance—have spotted a discreet yet persistent horde busy hoarding ADA for seven consecutive weeks, hoarding the tokens as if to stuff them in an armoured vault prior to the next grand fête.

Brace yourself—this cadre has shelled out $379 million on ADA, which is no small tipple for any crypto soirée.

To put it mildly, they’ve bagged a neat 1.7% slice of ADA’s $22 billion market pie. One suspects this might trigger a rather vulgar supply squeeze, nudging prices up with all the subtlety of a Wall Street toff wrestling a hedge fund manager.

Indulging in some financial escapism, AMBCrypto took a magnifying glass to this accumulation hysteria, juxtaposing it against the modest flurry that powered ADA’s 2020–2021 pirouette.

Back then, between September’s first week and mid-November, only a puny $9.57 million worth was snatched up amidst a similar consolidation channel, making today’s feverish 39.6-fold increase appear frankly beastly.

Should this appetite persist, ADA might not just tiptoe past its previous dawn but gallop all the way to a $16 exuberance, presumably while shrugging off polite naysayers and perfecting a devil-may-care grin.

Market mood: Bullish to the point of cheekiness 🐂😉

Despite our hero’s recent performance dips, the market’s pouting smiles remain firmly bullish, a notion confirmed even amongst derivatives traders. The Open Interest Weighted Funding Rate lingers at a perky 0.0086%, suggesting a contagion of long contracts springing up like daisies after a rainstorm.

If these infatuated long bets on the lower timeframes keep on their merry march, one dares to say ADA’s eventual rally may well become the financial equivalent of the social event of the season. Watch this splendid farce unfold with popcorn in hand. 🎭🍿
