Cardano’s native token has experienced heightened volatility lately, but the bulls eventually prevailed and decisively pushed the price above the June lows.

Certain analysts believe ADA is poised for a much more substantial short-term upswing, and recent whale activity supports that scenario.

Parabolic Rally on the Way?

The recent US CPI data, which revealed that inflation in America has cooled off more than previously expected, has given the crypto market a much-needed boost. ADA caught the green wave, with its price climbing by 3.5% over the past 24 hours and currently trading at approximately $0.17.

Another element that may have propelled the asset’s resurgence is the recent formation of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern on its chart, as X user CryptoJack noted. The setup consists of three lows: a left shoulder, a deeper head, and a right shoulder, which usually indicates that sellers are weakening and buyers are taking control.

According to Celal Kucuker, ADA could be on the verge of a price explosion toward a new all-time high of $5. The analyst believes we have reached the bottom zone and expects the “parabolic” rally to begin.

Whales and More

The latest behavior of the large investors reinforces the optimistic price outlook. As CryptoPotato reported, whales holding between 100,000 and 100 million ADA have increased their total possessions to over 25.6 billion coins, while smaller players (wallets owning fewer than 100 units) have reduced their exposure. Together, these factors represent a healthy setup for the token, though they don’t guarantee an immediate price explosion.

Another element that may lift the bulls’ spirits is ADA’s exchange netflow. Over the past weeks, outflows consistently exceeded inflows, suggesting that investors have been shifting from centralized platforms to self-custody methods, thereby reducing immediate selling pressure.

In contrast, ADA’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains a bearish element in the current setup. The technical analysis tool’s ratio has soared past 70, meaning the asset has entered overbought territory and could be due for a pullback in the near future. The index ranges from 0 to 100, and conversely, anything under 30 is considered a buying opportunity.
