Cardano (ADA) Reclaims Top 10 Crypto Spot, Analysts Set New Targets

Cardano (ADA) has seen a remarkable performance over the week, surging over 10% and reentering the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization list. Its recent price action has fueled a bullish sentiment among investors and market watchers, who believe the token might be near a rally toward $1.

During the Q1 rally, the token hit its highest price since 2022, reaching the $0.774 price range. Since then, ADA has nosedived to pre-rally levels, disappointing some investors and market watchers. The crypto community has repeatedly slammed the project for a lack of appeal to the broader public. Additionally, many have criticized ADAs underwhelming price action. However, the tokens recent rally has sparked a bullish sentiment among some community members. Despite the early September market shakeouts, the cryptocurrency has registered a 10% surge from its monthly opening, seeing green numbers in the weekly and biweekly timeframes. Technical analyst Crypto Yapper noted Cardanos recent performance. The analyst highlighted that ADA displayed a multi-month descending broadening wedge structure on its chart with multiple touch points on the top side and on the lower side. Inside this structure, the cryptocurrency displayed a smaller falling wedge pattern with its upper trendline being tested again on Monday. The analyst stated that the $0.35 was the first crucial resistance level for the token. Claiming this key zone and breaking out of the falling wedge pattern could create more bullish action and move the price toward the upper line of the bigger bullish structure. On Monday, Cardanos token reclaimed the $0.36 range, a level not seen in nearly a month. The surge sent ADAs price toward the $0.37 resistance level, turning the $0.375 price range into a support zone on Tuesday morning. The recent performance also pushed Cardano back to the top ten cryptocurrencies list after ADAs market capitalization surged 6%, surpassing Tron (TRX) in the last 24 hours. Analysts See New Price Targets For ADA Today, Crypto Yapper noted that ADA broke above resistance as the cryptocurrency was creating a higher high on the daily chart. This performance indicates a huge trend reversal for Cardano. However, he pointed out that to break above the descending broadening wedge, the token must reclaim its second key resistance level at $0.39. If successful, the breakout could target the structures higher price range of $0.52. Related Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) On Track For Strongest September Performance, Is $90,000 Next? Other analysts also highlighted ADAs performance and breakout, suggesting that the cryptocurrency has the potential for a 170% surge. Dan Gambardello pointed out, “Cardano just went through a phenomenal throwback to a colossal triangle pattern. To the analyst, If crypto is about to enter a green October, I anticipate ADA will reclaim $1 with haste. ADA is trading at $0.378, a 6.2% and 12.2% surge in the daily and weekly timeframes.

Bitcoin Makes Sharp Recovery, But Watch Out For Resistance At $64,000

On-chain data shows that the Bitcoin short-term holder whales have a cost base above $64,000, which could be a potential resistance point for BTC. Bitcoin Is Not Far From Realized Price Of Short-Term Holder Whales After Rally As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, the BTC price had slipped below the Realized Price of the short-term holder whales earlier. The “Realized Price” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the average cost basis that the investors of a particular group currently share. Related Reading: Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross Gives Bottom Signal: What Happened Last 2 Times When the asset’s spot price is under this metric, the holders belonging to the cohort are in a state of net unrealized loss. Similarly, it being above the indicator implies the group is enjoying profits. In the context of the current topic, there are two market segments of interest: the short-term holder and long-term holder whales. The short-term and long-term holders are the two main divisions of the Bitcoin sector based on holding time. The short-term holders (STHs) are the investors who bought their coins within the past 155 days, while the long-term holders (LTHs) include the hands who have kept their coins dormant for longer than this period. The “whales” generally refer to the entities that carry at least 1,000 BTC in their wallets, so the STH and LTH whales would naturally correspond to the large members of the respective cohorts. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Realized Price for these two Bitcoin groups over the past few years: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin spot price had slipped considerably below the Realized Price of the STH whales during the recent market downturn. However, with the price observing recovery, it has now neared back to that level. The average cost basis of the STH whales is between $64,000 and $65,000, so a retest of it could be coming soon. However, Such a retest could prove difficult for the cryptocurrency. The STHs represent the weak hands of the market, which can be sensitive to changes in the market. The cost basis is naturally an important level for any investor, but this cohort especially can be likely to react when such a retest happens. Since most STH whales have been at a loss recently, some may be desperately looking forward to a retest taking place so they can exit from the market at their break-even level. It remains to be seen whether Bitcoin will overcome this obstacle if the current recovery rally continues that far. Related Reading: XRP Sharks & Whales Push Bags To ATH As Price Rockets 19% While the STH whales suffer losses, the LTH whales continue to be in high profits as their Realized Price is at just $22,000, implying that their patience has paid off.

Bitcoin Recovery Stalls As HODLers Apply Selling Pressure

On-chain data shows that Bitcoin long-term holders have potentially been selling recently, something that may explain BTC’s continued bearish momentum. Bitcoin Exchange Inflow CDD Has Registered Huge Spikes Recently As an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post explained, old cryptocurrency tokens have recently been deposited in large quantities in centralized exchanges. The on-chain metric of interest here is the “Exchange Inflow Coin Days Destroyed (CDD).” A “coin day” refers to a quantity that 1 BTC accumulates after staying dormant on the blockchain for 1 day. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crash Forced Weak Hands Into Largest Loss-Taking Since 2022 Lows: Report When a coin that had been sitting still inside a wallet is finally moved, its coin days counter naturally resets back to zero, and the coin days it had been carrying before the move are said to be “destroyed.” The CDD keeps track of the total amount of coin days being reset in this manner across the network. In the context of the current topic, though, the general CDD isn’t the one of focus, but rather the Exchange Inflow CDD, which only keeps track of the coin days being destroyed through transactions into wallets connected to exchanges. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Exchange Inflow CDD over the past month or so: As is visible in the above graph, the Bitcoin Exchange Inflow CDD has registered some spikes of considerable scale this month. This would imply that many dormant coins have recently seen deposits into exchanges. Generally, spikes in the CDD correlate to movement from the long-term holders (LTHs), as these HODLers tend to accumulate large amounts of coin days. Therefore, the recent spikes in the Exchange Inflow CDD suggest that these diamond hands have been transferred to exchanges. Holders make transactions into exchanges when they want to use one of the services these platforms provide, which can include selling. The chart shows that the spikes earlier in the month had come when Bitcoin had plunged towards its lows, implying that the selling pressure from this cohort may have played a role in the crash. The latest spike, larger in scale than the others, has come while BTC has been trying to start a recovery rally from these recent lows. So far, BTC has had no luck, suggesting that the selling from the LTHs has potentially been holding the coin back. Related Reading: Chainlink Traders Capitulate After 10% Plunge: Bottom Here? It remains to be seen how the Exchange Inflow CDD behaves in the coming days and if any potential further spikes would impede Bitcoin in its path to recovery. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $57,900, up more than 4% over the past week. Featured image from Dall-E, CryptoQuant.com, chart from TradingView.com
