Summary
Whale activity and social attention rise
Since September 16, the market value of Cardano (ADA) has increased 42%, and its price has increased from approximately US$0.19 to US$0.27. The number of whale transactions exceeding US$100,000 in a single day reached 413, setting a record since June 4. In the past two days, ADA open interest has risen about 25% to $304 million, the highest daily closing level since at least April.
analyst Giannis Andreou pointed out that if the range of US$0.32 to US$0.40 can be recovered and stabilized, it will strengthen the ADA recovery trend, with the next key resistance level being US$0.426.
Whale activity and social attention rise
With the strong rebound in ADA prices, large holders are back active on the Cardano network. Data shows that since September 16, Cardano's market value has increased by 42%. On-chain data shows that in a single day, there were 413 transactions worth at least US$100,000. This figure is the highest peak since June 4. At the same time, the token's Social Dominance rate reached 1.16%, a new high in 2026.
During this period, ADA prices increased from approximately US$0.19 to US$0.27. At the same time, new project releases and upcoming integration solutions continue to attract market attention.
Sanitation Intelligence pointed out in a report released by Platform X that the 42% increase prompted whale accounts to become active again. The company emphasized that a single transaction worth no less than $100,000 surged by 413 in one day, a level of high-frequency whale activity not seen since June 4.
Retail interest also increased significantly during the ADA rally. The ADA's social dominance rate reaches 1.16%, the highest reading in 2026. According to Sanitation, the sudden influx of followers was closely related to the price fluctuations from $0.19 to $0.27.
Project dynamics further fueled the discussion. RealFi was officially launched on Cardano's main network on October 1. In addition, high expectations for Leios, Fireblocks support and new institutional integration have driven the largest discussion boom of the year. Sanitation listed these factors as the main drivers of the surge in attention.
Open interest data challenges the "short squeeze" theory
Some media reports described the ADA market as a "short squeeze" on the grounds that open interest contracts fell. However, Sanitation posted a second post to verify this claim, and its daily closing data showed just the opposite.
Between October 3 and October 5, ADA prices increased by about 10%. In the same two days, open interest instead rose about 25% to $304 million. This figure is the highest daily closing level since at least early April. In terms of the number of tokens, open interest also rose by about 13%. This suggests that new position creation has occurred in the market, rather than being driven by price increases alone.
Whale trading volume on October 5 was approximately 2.2 times the weekday average between September 7 and October 2. The volume of social discussions is about 1.1 times the same baseline.
资金费率数据提供了更多细节。10月2日,资金费率触及过去一个月中最负值,随后转为正值。Santiment指出,空头回补可能助推了价格上涨。然而,空头回补通常会减少未平仓合约,而非使其增长。因此,该公司认为此次ADA行情反映了新杠杆资金进入市场。
分析师绘制ADA关键价格区间
分析师Giannis Andreou在X平台上分享了关于ADA行情的技术观点。在他截取数据时,ADA交易价格为0.2644美元。Andreou表示,价格已回到此前周期确立底部的位置。
他描述道,在从潜在局部低点反弹后,代币正在测试历史性的0.20至0.28美元区间。
Anreou指出,周线结构仍显示高点下移。若能收复0.32至0.40美元区间并在回测中守住,将增强复苏论点的可信度。接下来需要关注的阻力位包括0.426美元,以及0.55至0.65美元的供应区。从截图来看,0.40美元代表约51%的上涨空间。
在下行风险方面,若周线收盘价跌破0.20美元,0.14至0.18美元区间将重回视野。若跌破0.14美元,则局部底部形态将被破坏。
Anreou在其帖子末尾提问:ADA是否正在构筑底部?同时,他也询问该代币是否正在准备迎接又一次阻力位 rejection(拒绝/回落)。
