In the past two days, a spree of buying by major holders has seen Cardano (ada) gain over 40 million in whale holdings. According to crypto analyst Ali, this signals an increase in interest within institutional investors and big holders.
This flow of ADA is in line with the upward swing of the cryptocurrency’s value and advances being achieved in its network. On May 8, the cryptocurrency closed above its 50-day simple moving average of $0.67 and formed an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern as the market as a whole rebounded.
Subsequently, ADA broke past its 200-day moving average at $0.79, a level that had previously served as strong resistance. Following three consecutive days of upward movement, Cardano reached a local high of $0.846 in early Sunday trading sessions.
Although there was minimal fighting after its high, ADA continues to move forward, at $0.801 and up by 16 percent from the last week. Moreover, the RSI confirms the positive momentum, confirming buying pressure in Cardano’s market.
Network Developments Reinforce Investor Confidence
In a recent update shared on social media, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson addressed the future trajectory of the blockchain network. According to Hoskinson, the project has reached a crucial development stage marked by increased collaboration and decentralization.
He indicated that while Cardano’s underlying engineering approach assured robust security and precision, it had the unintended effect of enforcing rigidity in security and preventing further development. In return, Cardano capitalizes on compact, flexible development groups such as Aiken and Midgard.
Hoskinson explained that Input-Output Research would remain a key part of the ecosystem’s research agenda, using its Agda-based provers. The objective is to improve the efficiency of development while maintaining the scientific integrity of the project.
Also, the re-emergence of price movement has brought new cheer to investors in the market. Retaining the above key support levels would probably send analysts to anticipate a shift towards the $1 mark for ADA.
However, bearish pressure may return if the price drops below the 50-day SMA at $0.676, with possible declines to $0.60 or even $0.50. At present, buyers appear to be in control, supported by strong technical indicators and growing investor interest.
