Overview
- Cardano trades near $0.26 Tuesday after Santiment flagged a deep on‑chain loss reading and an extreme short bias in futures.
- Santiment puts the 365‑day MVRV near minus 43%, which means the average wallet active this past year would lock in a loss if it sold now.
- Binance perpetual futures show the largest tilt toward shorts since June 2023, a setup that can trigger fast spikes if those bets get forced to cover.
- Analysts point to the $0.25 area that preceded rebounds of about 85% and 200% in prior tests, yet warn a firm drop below that level would likely invite more downside.
- Blockonomi and NewsBTC frame the pattern as a contrarian opportunity based on positioning and holder pain, while CoinJournal notes many recent buyers may sell into any bounce after a roughly 71% slide since September.
