Cardano (ADA) Whales Securing Gains After 10% Upswing: Whats Next?

Cardano has surged over 10%,  breaking a key resistance level, and is now testing higher prices. Despite the bullish momentum, on-chain data reveals that long-term holders are beginning to take profits. The ratio of daily on-chain transactions in profit to loss has turned positive, suggesting that many investors are capitalizing on recent gains. Related Reading: Injective (INJ) Breaks $18 Resistance: Investors Expect Higher Prices As the market continues to evolve, ADA strives to maintain its uptrend, buoyed by positive sentiment and growing optimism for further price recovery. However, this profit-taking activity indicates that some investors are cautiously locking in gains, potentially leading to short-term price volatility. With high expectations for a continued rally in the coming weeks, investors are closely watching ADA’s performance to see if it can sustain its momentum. The next few days will be critical for confirming whether Cardano can hold above these levels and push toward new highs. Cardano Long-Term Holders Selling Cardano is testing local supply levels after a significant surge, with investors becoming cautious in their short-term strategies.  Yesterday, the ratio of daily on-chain transactions in profit to loss reached 1.53, meaning that for every ADA transaction resulting in a loss, 1.53 transactions have generated profits. This metric highlights that many investors are taking advantage of the recent price gains, leading to some long-term holders selling their coins for profit. Data from Santiment supports this view, showing a slight decline in Cardanos Mean Coin Age and Mean Dollar Invested Age on September 11. These metrics track long-term holders’ behavior, reflecting the average age of ADA coins and the amount invested over time. A drop in these metrics suggests that holders who purchased ADA at lower prices are now taking profits, decreasing the average age of the coins in their possession. Despite this selling pressure, ADA still has the potential to maintain its bullish momentum if market conditions continue to push. Cardano could target higher prices, but the cautious behavior from seasoned investors signals that the rally might face resistance soon. Related Reading: Is Chainlink (LINK) $12 Breakout Imminent? Data Reveals A Rising Open Interest The coming days will be crucial for ADA, as it needs to hold above its current levels to confirm a continued uptrend. If buyers regain control and demand increases, Cardano could break through key resistance levels and aim for new highs.  ADA Price Action Details ADA trades at $0.3565 after testing a key resistance at $0.36. The price has closed above the 4-hour 200 exponential moving average (EMA) at $0.3490. This is a significant indicator of short-term strength that ADA had respected as resistance since early August. This successful reclaim of the 4H 200 EMA is crucial for maintaining the uptrend. If ADA manages to retest this EMA and hold it as support, it would confirm a short-term bullish trend. Breaking and holding above this level suggests that ADA could continue to push upward. Investors and analysts see the next target as being in the $0.38 to $0.40 range. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Rally Brewing? On-Chain Metrics Suggest Investors Optimism However, if ADA loses this support level, the price could drop to lower demand zones, possibly retreating to around $0.33. This would signal a weakening current momentum and potentially spark further selling pressure. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin Set For Critical Price Resistance Encounter Analyst

The price of Bitcoin has continued to maintain an impressive recovery trajectory following an earlier dip in the week, which saw the asset trade below the $50,000 price mark. The crypto market leader was greatly affected by a widespread decline in the global financial markets, losing over 16% of its market value, due to fears of a potential recession in the US, among other factors. However, as Bitcoin now hovers around $60,000, market experts and analysts have continued to roll out several conditions needed for the premier cryptocurrency to sustain this current positive performance. Related Reading: XRP Has Surpassed Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Solana Combined In This Metric Bitcoin To Meet Critical Short-Term Holders SOPR Resistance  In a Quicktake post on Cryptoquant, an analyst with the username tugbachain shared an insight into the Short Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (STH SOPR) of the Bitcoin market.  For context, the STH SOPR is a market metric that indicates whether holders are selling their assets at a loss or profit. It is used to measure profitability outputs by providing information on the profit or loss status of short-term investors. The STH SOPR usually tracks assets held for a period less than 155, with a value less than 1 indicating short-term holders would be selling their assets at a loss. While an STH SOPR of 1 states that these investors will break even on their sales.  Interestingly, tugbachain reports that the STH SOPR of Bitcoin is currently above 1, meaning that short-term holders are currently in profit. However, the analyst warns that BTC approaches a strong resistance at the 1.03 SOPR region, at which they predict the investors may soon start taking profit which could lead to an intense selling activity.  As expected, this would exert downward pressure on BTCs price. Albeit, in the presence of the right market conditions such as high buying activity, tugbachain predicts the crypto market leader could overcome this resistance and maintain its present upward trajectory.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Nears $60,000 As Putin Signs Law Legalizing Crypto Mining In Russia BTC Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin continues to trade at $60,639 with a 1.01% gain in the last day. However, the tokens daily trading volume is down by 4.35% and is valued at $38.2 billion. According to historical price data, the premier cryptocurrency could encounter major resistance at the $67,000 – $70,000 price region if it breaks upward from its current consolidation state. However, if Bitcoin breaks downward, its next viable support level lies at the $55,000 price zone. Featured image from Barron’s, chart from Tradingview

Bitcoin Makes Sharp Recovery, But Watch Out For Resistance At $64,000

On-chain data shows that the Bitcoin short-term holder whales have a cost base above $64,000, which could be a potential resistance point for BTC. Bitcoin Is Not Far From Realized Price Of Short-Term Holder Whales After Rally As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, the BTC price had slipped below the Realized Price of the short-term holder whales earlier. The “Realized Price” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the average cost basis that the investors of a particular group currently share. Related Reading: Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross Gives Bottom Signal: What Happened Last 2 Times When the asset’s spot price is under this metric, the holders belonging to the cohort are in a state of net unrealized loss. Similarly, it being above the indicator implies the group is enjoying profits. In the context of the current topic, there are two market segments of interest: the short-term holder and long-term holder whales. The short-term and long-term holders are the two main divisions of the Bitcoin sector based on holding time. The short-term holders (STHs) are the investors who bought their coins within the past 155 days, while the long-term holders (LTHs) include the hands who have kept their coins dormant for longer than this period. The “whales” generally refer to the entities that carry at least 1,000 BTC in their wallets, so the STH and LTH whales would naturally correspond to the large members of the respective cohorts. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Realized Price for these two Bitcoin groups over the past few years: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin spot price had slipped considerably below the Realized Price of the STH whales during the recent market downturn. However, with the price observing recovery, it has now neared back to that level. The average cost basis of the STH whales is between $64,000 and $65,000, so a retest of it could be coming soon. However, Such a retest could prove difficult for the cryptocurrency. The STHs represent the weak hands of the market, which can be sensitive to changes in the market. The cost basis is naturally an important level for any investor, but this cohort especially can be likely to react when such a retest happens. Since most STH whales have been at a loss recently, some may be desperately looking forward to a retest taking place so they can exit from the market at their break-even level. It remains to be seen whether Bitcoin will overcome this obstacle if the current recovery rally continues that far. Related Reading: XRP Sharks & Whales Push Bags To ATH As Price Rockets 19% While the STH whales suffer losses, the LTH whales continue to be in high profits as their Realized Price is at just $22,000, implying that their patience has paid off. BTC Price Bitcoin had briefly broken above $62,000 during the past day, but the coin’s price has since seen a retrace to $60,500.

Bitcoin Makes Third Retest Of Historical Support, Analyst Sounds Alarm

An analyst has warned that support levels weaken the more they are retested and Bitcoin is now doing a third consecutive retest of a major such level. Bitcoin Is Again Retesting The Short-Term Holder Realized Price As explained by CryptoQuant community manager Maartunn in a new post on X, BTC’s latest drawdown has led to it doing another retest of the short-term holder Realized Price. The “Realized Price” here refers to an indicator that, in short, keeps track of the average cost basis of the investors or addresses on the Bitcoin network. When the value of this metric is greater than the spot price of the cryptocurrency, it means the average investor in the market could be assumed to be holding a net unrealized profit. On the other hand, the indicator being below the asset’s value suggests the dominance of losses on the blockchain. Related Reading: Ethereum Seeing High Exchange Outflows, But Watch Out For This Bearish Signal In the context of the current topic, the Realized Price of the entire userbase isn’t of interest, but that of a specific segment of it: the short-term holders (STHs). The STHs include all the investors who bought their coins within the past 155 days. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Realized Price for the STHs over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin spot price had slipped under the STH Realized Price in June, but it finally managed to break above the line halfway through last month. In the weeks since the asset has seen a couple of pullbacks back to the line, but it has managed to find rebounds each time. Now, after the latest decline, the coin’s price is once again retesting the level. Historically, the STH Realized Price has been a reliable point of support for the cryptocurrency during bullish periods. The explanation behind this pattern may lie in how investor psychology works. The STHs represent the fickle-minded side of the sector, who are sensitive to change. As such, whenever the price retests their cost basis, they may be prone to making panic moves. In times when the atmosphere in the market is bullish, the STHs may believe such a retest to merely be a dip opportunity, so they could decide to accumulate more. This could be why Bitcoin has found rebounds at the level in the past. While the level has generally been reliable indeed, this latest retest that BTC is facing is already the third within a narrow period. “Each time a level is tested, it becomes weaker,” notes Maartunn. Related Reading: XRP Bullish Signal: Shark & Whale Population Sharply Growing It now remains to be seen if the Bitcoin STHs still carry a bullish outlook on the cryptocurrency or if the constant pullbacks have put fear on their minds. BTC Price Bitcoin has continued its recent bearish momentum in the past 24 hours as its price has slid another 2% to reach the $64,700 level.

Why Did Bitcoin Plunge Under $58,000? On-Chain Data Says This

Bitcoin has observed a crash below the $58,000 level today. Here’s what could be a potential cause for it, according to on-chain data. Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Have Just Taken Large Profits As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, the Bitcoin long-term holders harvested a large amount of profits during the latest price drawdown. Related Reading: These Are The Altcoins In Buy Zone, Analytics Firm Reveals The on-chain metric of interest here is the “Spent Output Profit Ratio” (SOPR), which basically tells about whether the BTC investors are selling/transferring their coins at a profit or loss. When the value of this indicator is greater than 1, it means the holders as a whole are realizing a net profit with their selling right now. On the other hand, the metric being under this threshold implies the dominance of loss-taking in the market. In the context of the current topic, the SOPR of a specific segment of the user base is of interest: the long-term holders (LTHs). This cohort includes the investors who have been holding onto their coins since more than 155 days ago. The LTHs are considered to be the resolute side of the market, as they rarely sell regardless of whatever may be going on in the wider market. As such, the times that they do sell can be all the more noteworthy. It would appear that the recent Bitcoin market conditions have managed to break even these diamond hands, as the below chart for their SOPR suggests. As is visible in the above graph, the Bitcoin LTH SOPR has seen a high density of spikes above the 1 mark during the past day. This would suggest that these HODLers have moved some coins that were previously carrying significant profits. More particularly, the indicator hit a value of more than 10 during a lot of these spikes, implying that this group realized profits equal to over ten times the losses during those transactions. As the LTH SOPR spikes came just before BTC’s descent towards the levels under $58,000, it would seem possible that this profit-taking push from these normally-resolute investors was at least in part behind the crash. Another indicator, the Bitcoin Spent Output Age Bands (SOAB), has revealed the breakdown of these LTH transactions. From the chart, it’s apparent that the most active LTH segment during this selloff was the 5-year to 7-year group, meaning that most of the coins sold were previously dormant between 5 and 7 years ago. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Next Bitcoin Target Is $78,700 If BTC Breaks This Resistance It’s hard to say why these old entities have suddenly decided to sell after sitting out a whole cycle, but if this is the start of a selling spree from them, then things might get even worse for Bitcoin. BTC Price Bitcoin had very briefly slipped under the $57,000 level during the latest crash, but the asset appears to have made some recovery since then, as it’s back at $57,700.
