Overview
- ADA, which held near $0.25 on Tuesday, is testing a falling-wedge pattern that traders say could unlock a move toward $0.30 if confirmed.
- Futures interest is building as open interest rose over 5% in 24 hours to about $459 million, and CME’s regulated ADA futures saw volumes jump from 27 to 69 contracts between April 15 and 17.
- The long-to-short ratio sits near 0.73, and funding has dipped negative at times, which means more traders are short and could be forced to buy if price climbs fast.
- Key hurdles sit at the 50-day moving average near $0.26 and then $0.28, while support levels to watch are $0.2328 and $0.2205 if momentum stalls.
- Developers’ progress on the Protocol 11 upgrade and early use of the Midnight sidechain by institutions are boosting sentiment, yet ADA remains down about 68% from its mid-January peak.
