Cardano price under pressure as whales dump $100M ADA

Cardano price is facing renewed downside after heavy whale selling triggers short-term pressure.

Summary

  • Whales sold 100M ADA in three days.
  • DeFi and trading volumes are declining.
  • ETF hopes and network upgrades may aid recovery.

At press time, Cardano was trading at $0.6404, down 0.7% over the previous day. Although ADA has increased by roughly 1.7% in the past week, it remains down 20% over the past month. The token has been moving within a 7-day range of $0.6303 to $0.6905, suggesting a period of cautious trading after recent volatility.

Trading activity also appears to be cooling. Cardano’s (ADA) 24-hour volume has slipped by 6.3% to $1.39 billion, a sign of slowing participation. On the derivatives side, CoinGlass data shows that futures volume jumped 34.83% to $2.11 billion, even as open interest dipped slightly by 0.21% to $705.83 million.

This mix usually means traders are rotating their positions , closing older trades and opening new ones, as they anticipate the next move rather than committing to a clear direction.

Cardano whales offload 100M ADA

On-chain analyst Ali Martinez reported on Oct. 29 that whales sold 100 million ADA, worth about $65 million, within 72 hours. Such sell-offs often trigger short-term volatility, but they don’t always spell long-term weakness. In many cases, the market absorbs the selling once prices stabilize and smaller buyers step back in.

Still, Cardano’s decentralized finance ecosystem is showing signs of strain. Data from DeFiLlama indicates that total value locked has fallen from $360 million in early October to about $280 million now. Monthly decentralized exchange volume has slipped from $125 million in July to just $85 million this month, while the stablecoin market cap has dropped to $38.5 million. These figures suggest a gradual slowdown in on-chain activity.

Despite the current pullback, several events could shift momentum. A major turning point may be the Securities and Exchange Commission’s impending ruling on Grayscale’s spot ADA ETF, which might attract institutional flows similar to those of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. 

On the technical front, upgrades like Ouroboros Leios and Hydra layer-2 aim to boost scalability and reduce costs. Investors will be keeping an eye out for any new developments regarding governance, enterprise adoption, and DeFi growth at the Cardano Summit 2025, scheduled for November.

Cardano price technical analysis

Technical indicators remain mixed but lean bearish in the near term. With a reading of 40, the relative strength index shows weak momentum but is not yet oversold. The majority of moving averages, ranging from the 200-day SMA to the 10-day EMA, indicate sell, confirming ADA trades below key trend levels.

While Bollinger Bands show declining volatility around current prices, the MACD offers a weak buy signal, suggesting the potential for short-term relief if volume returns. Immediate support is around $0.578, while the resistance is between $0.665 and $0.752.

Failure to hold $0.58 puts the market at risk of declining towards deeper support levels, but a sustained break above $0.665 might lead to a rebound towards $0.75.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
