Key Takeaways
ADA could fall 6.5% if it closes a daily candle below the $0.90 level. Futures trading volume reached a five-month high of $6.96 billion, hinting at rising interest in the asset.
It has been four consecutive days of sideways movement for Cardano [ADA], but traders’ interest in the asset has skyrocketed. The sharp price drop has pushed ADA into a make-or-break situation.
Current price and record surge in Futures
On the 18th of August, Cardano’s price slipped 3.5%, reaching the lower boundary of consolidation at $0.91.
Despite the sharp decline, investor and trader participation has increased, with trading volume rising 12% compared to the previous day.
Not just that, a well-followed crypto expert shared on-chain data showing that ADA’s Futures trading volume reached a five-month high of $6.96 billion.
This substantial surge in Futures volume reflects strong interest and confidence among traders as well as institutions, potentially paving the way for a parabolic move.
Although the price is consolidating within a tight range, the spike in trading volume signals a possible shift in market activity.
Along with this, the expert also noted in a post that the TD Sequential technical indicator is now flashing a buy signal, hinting at a potential price bounce ahead.
Cardano: Price action and technical analysis
AMBCrypto’s technical analysis reveals that Cardano’s ADA price has been hovering within a tight range between $0.90 and $0.96 for the past four days.
During this period, each time the asset touched the lower boundary, it experienced upward momentum, a move that could potentially repeat in the coming days.

On the daily chart, it is not yet confirmed whether this sudden fall will lead to further downside movement, but that would only be possible if the lower boundary is broken.
If ADA closes a daily candle below the $0.90 level, there is a strong possibility of a decline of over 6.65%, with the price potentially dropping to $0.835.
On the other hand, if the price holds this level, it could repeat history and reach the $0.969 mark again.
However, a major rally would only occur if the asset breaks out above the $0.969 upper boundary, which could trigger a 28% price uptick.
Despite ADA being in a make-or-break situation, the Supertrend indicator is still in green and hovering above the price, suggesting that the asset remains in an uptrend.
On-chain metric flashes mixed sentiment
Given the current market sentiment, investors and long-term holders appear to be accumulating tokens and taking advantage of the price dip.
Data from the on-chain analytics tool Coinglass shows that, over the past 24 hours, $25.94 million worth of ADA has been moved out of exchanges, suggesting potential accumulation.
This could help ease downside momentum and restore buying pressure.
