ADA Price on the Brink?

by

Ah, Cardano, the plucky little cryptocurrency that could. It’s just surpassed 1.3 million staking addresses, which is a bit like a digital version of a Times Square New Year’s Eve party – lots of people showing up, but not entirely sure what they’re celebrating 🎉.

According to TapTools, a Cardano trading platform, this milestone makes Cardano one of the most actively staked blockchain networks. Because who doesn’t love a good game of “lock up your coins and hope for the best”? 🤑 Staking addresses, for the uninitiated, are wallets that have locked up ADA to earn rewards and contribute to network security. It’s like a digital version of a savings account, but with more risk and potentially more reward.

JUST IN: Cardano $ADA has surpassed 1.3 million staking addresses, highlighting its status as one of the world’s most actively staked blockchain networks.

This rise follows Bitstamp’s decision to allow UK customers to stake ADA on its platform, because who doesn’t love a good dose of British sensibility in their cryptocurrency trading? 🇬🇧 Cardano’s developers have also been tinkering behind the scenes, trying to create a more adaptable and reliable system. Because, you know, reliability is key when it comes to cryptocurrency 🤣.

On June 6, they unveiled plans to improve the network’s node structure, which is a bit like trying to reorganize a messy closet – it’s a good idea, but it’s not exactly the most exciting thing to do. As part of the planned upgrades, the developers are looking at new reward models to support smaller stake pool operators and encourage broader participation. Because, you know, sharing is caring 🤗.

ADA is trading at $0.6483 as of press time, up 3.5% in the past 24 hours. Over the past week, it has moved between $0.6184 and $0.7263, which is a bit like a rollercoaster ride, but without the fun 🎠. Trading volume has risen to over $419 million in the last 24 hours, up 30.6% in the last day, because who doesn’t love a good game of “buy and sell”? 📈

On the derivatives side, Coinglass data show that volume decreased slightly to $870.21 million, but open interest increased 3.28% to $778.49 million. This combination indicates that traders are increasing their positions while awaiting the next move in the price, which is a bit like playing a game of chicken – who will blink first? 🐓

Looking at the daily chart, Cardano is starting to show signs of recovery after finding support near $0.61. It’s now trading just below its 20-day moving average, which sits around $0.675, because who doesn’t love a good moving average? 📊 This line has acted as a resistance level over the past few weeks, but a clean break above it could open the way for a retest of the recent high near $0.73.

The Bollinger Bands are starting to tighten slightly, which often comes before a larger price move. Currently, the price is sitting in the lower half of the band, suggesting some upward room if momentum picks up. The upper band is near $0.74, which lines up with last week’s top, because who doesn’t love a good game of “price tag”? 🎯

With the relative strength index at 42, ADA has not yet entered overbought territory and could rise even higher if buyers return. As the RSI previously fell below 40, the recent rebound may indicate a short-term change in momentum, because who doesn’t love a good rebound? 🏀

The price may revert to the $0.62–$0.61 range if it is rejected in the $0.675–$0.70 range. A break below that would be more bearish and could open the door to a deeper pullback. If ADA breaks out above the current resistance levels, there may be short-term upside potential, but for now, the trend is neutral, because who doesn’t love a good dose of uncertainty? 🤔
