- Large investors have accumulated over 180 million ADA, signaling confidence in its long-term growth despite recent price volatility.
- Cardano’s price pattern mirrors a past cycle that led to a 4,000% surge, fueling speculation of another breakout.
Cardano (ADA) has witnessed a massive accumulation phase, with large investors acquiring over 180 million tokens in recent days. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez indicated that wallets holding between 1 million and 10 million ADA have significantly increased their holdings.
The aggressive buying pattern reflects strong confidence in ADA’s long-term growth. Historically, similar accumulation phases have played a crucial role in price stabilization, often paving the way for an uptrend. Large-scale purchases reduce circulating supply, which, if sustained, could trigger bullish momentum.
Despite strong accumulation, Cardano’s price has remained volatile, experiencing fluctuations over the past few weeks. Market analysts point to key support and resistance levels as critical factors in determining whether the cryptocurrency will consolidate further or break out into a new rally.
Will ADA’s 11-Week Pattern Repeat for a Massive Breakout?
Crypto analyst Eilert has drawn comparisons between Cardano’s current price structure and its previous market cycle. The last cycle saw ADA retracing 52% from its peak before consolidating for 11 weeks, leading to a significant price breakout. That accumulation phase allowed the altcoin to gather strength before soaring higher.
At present, ADA has retraced 47% from its recent cycle high and is now in its fifth consecutive week of consolidation. This pattern closely mirrors past trends, suggesting that whales may be positioning themselves ahead of a major price move. If market conditions align, historical behavior indicates the possibility of a strong upward push.
During the previous bullish cycle, Cardano skyrocketed 4,000% after consolidating at a similar support level. While history does not always repeat itself exactly, the data suggests that prolonged accumulation phases often precede substantial gains. Investors are watching closely to see if ADA follows the same trajectory once again.
Institutional Investors Fuel the Rally
Cardano has already surged 129% since Donald Trump’s election victory, positioning itself among the top ten large-cap gainers. CryptoRank.io reports that ADA’s rally has coincided with increasing investor confidence, particularly among institutions. ADA’s growth signals renewed institutional interest, reinforcing its potential as a long-term asset in strategic portfolios.
With a market cap of $26.8 billion, ADA remains a dominant force in the altcoin sector. Analysts suggest its bullish momentum could continue if institutional demand remains steady.
“The top gainers are primarily U.S.-based projects, which could enter strategic reserves, such as $HBAR, $XRP, $XLM, and $ADA,” said CryptoRank.
At the time of writing, Cardano is trading at $0.7274, reflecting a 10.20% decline over the past seven days. The market cap also saw a 28% decline from its high of 35.26 billion on March 5. However, trading volume saw an increase of 19%, reaching 2.13 billion in the last 24 hours.
