Cardano drops out of the top ten, with $0.22 becoming the dividing line between bulls and bears. Will ADA's price test a three-year low again?

ADA-4,77%
BTC-4,6%

February 13 News, Cardano (ADA) is currently in a critical price range, with support and resistance levels nearly overlapping with the current price, making short-term trends uncertain. Despite founder Charles Hoskinson recently announcing multiple ecosystem developments, market sentiment remains cautious, and price reactions are relatively muted.

Hoskinson revealed that Cardano is about to complete integration with LayerZero and plans to launch USDCx this month, as well as initiate the Midnight privacy sidechain mainnet before the end of March. These updates are theoretically beneficial for increasing network activity and attracting developers, but in the context of overall weak momentum in the crypto market, ADA has failed to sustain a rebound.

In terms of price, ADA dropped to $0.2205 on February 6, hitting a nearly three-year low. A technical rebound followed, and it is currently fluctuating around $0.261, but still constrained by a key zone at $0.275. Over the past few days, the price has remained in a narrow range, indicating ongoing battles between bulls and bears.

From a technical perspective, resistance is concentrated around $0.268, $0.276, and $0.284; if buying momentum weakens, the price may retest $0.243, or even fall back toward the $0.220 area. This zone is seen as the current core defense line; once broken, the market may reassess lower valuations.

On the macro front, there is also pressure. Bitcoin has yet to reach major support levels. Analyst Peter Brandt suggests it could drop to $42,000, while Geoff Kendrick mentions a higher probability of further decline around $50,000. If Bitcoin continues to weaken, it typically amplifies altcoin declines, and ADA will likely not be immune.

In this environment, short-term rebounds are more about liquidity recovery than trend reversals. Investors should pay close attention to the performance between $0.220 and $0.216, as this zone may determine Cardano’s next direction.

When will Bitcoin rebound? Historical data reveals key prices and potential buying opportunities

February 24 News, Bitcoin has recently been on a continuous decline, sparking market attention on the recovery timing. According to Glassnode data, the 90-day realized profit and loss ratio has fallen below 1 for the first time since 2022, indicating that the market has entered an oversold phase. Historical experience shows that this state typically lasts about six months, suggesting that Bitcoin may remain at low levels until the end of the third quarter of this year. The realized profit and loss ratio reflects the proportion of profits and losses in on-chain transactions. When the ratio is below 1, losses dominate, and investors are mostly capitulating. Past bear market cycles—2015, 2018, and 2022—have all shown this pattern. During these lows, market panic is common, but it also presents potential buying opportunities.

Will Bitcoin drop to $50,000? Strategy adds $40 million, Citrini AI report triggers market turbulence

February 24 News, Strategy announced an additional $40 million investment in Bitcoin, despite the current market being somewhat pessimistic about Bitcoin price forecasts. The company currently holds Bitcoin worth $55 billion, with an average cost of approximately $76,020. At Bitcoin's current price of $63,000, unrealized losses amount to nearly $10 billion. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that the company employs a dollar-cost averaging strategy and is not concerned about short-term price fluctuations. Recently, Bitcoin has been affected by geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties triggered by developments in artificial intelligence, and policy changes by the Trump administration, leading to consecutive price declines. Matt Howells-Barby, Vice President of Growth at CEX, pointed out that Bitcoin could potentially drop to $50,000 in the short term. Data from DefiLlama shows that investors sold over $1 billion worth of Bitcoin ETFs in February, bringing the total ETF decline since November last year to $7 billion. Data from CF Benchmark indicates that major hedge funds reduced their Bitcoin ETF holdings by 28% between the third and fourth quarters.

After WLFI's price drops below $1, selling pressure increases. Can a $35 million whale buy order trigger a rebound?

On February 24, it was reported that World Liberty Financial (WLFI) dropped about 8% in the past 24 hours, weakening after falling below the $1 key level. Previously, WLFI was forming a bullish cup-and-handle pattern, but recent price fluctuations have been mainly influenced by leverage liquidations rather than long-term investors selling off. On-chain data shows that WLFI's largest holder wallet has increased its holdings from 8.23 billion tokens to 8.56 billion tokens since February 19, adding approximately 330 million tokens, equivalent to about $35 million. This indicates that whales have actively entered during the price decline, reflecting confidence in a future recovery. Meanwhile, exchange inflows have decreased from 128 million tokens to just 8.9 million tokens, a nearly 93% drop, showing reduced retail selling pressure.
