Cardano Price Forms Classic Falling Wedge After 40% Correction

  • The Cardano price drives a steady downtrend consolidating within the formation of a falling wedge pattern.
  • The $0.24 stands as a major accumulation support zone for ADA holders.
  • Whale investors redistributed more than 190 million ADA tokens over the past week.

ADA, the native cryptocurrency of the Cardano ecosystem, is gradually drifting toward $0.24 support amid broader market weakness. Today, the Cardano price is down 2.27% and macroeconomic jitters continue to put additional pressure on these cryptocurrencies. With sustained selling, the coin price has developed a key reversal pattern that could bolster buyers to regain their grip over this asset. Will ADA regain the $0.3 mark?

ADA Stalls at $0.285 as Whales Offload 190M Tokens

Cardano’s rebound from last week’s sell-off witnessed an immediate wall at $0.285 mark. The renewed selling pressure at this resistance has gradually pushed the asset price to $0.257, suggesting a lack of conviction from buyers to build a sustainable recovery.

CME Group has launched futures contracts for Cardano (ADA) on February 9, 2026, in addition to those for Chainlink and Stellar. These instruments, in both standard and micro sizes, are aimed at offering institutional participants instruments for understanding how to deal with exposure in a structured environment.

Rather than causing sustained buying, the rollout coincided with significant downward movement in ADA’s spot price, which fell around 3-4% in the immediate period, to prices near $0.25-$0.26, which coincided with softness in the overall market. Pre-launch positioning seems to have turned around soon, contributing to the disposal of holdings. 

In a recent tweet, market analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that over 190 million ADA tokens were redistributed by whales in the past week according to Santiment data. Historically, such sale of heavy supply has conceded with major market top or aggressive selling pressure in price. 

In addition, the derivatives market data also accentuates lower engagement from crypto traders. According to Coinglass data, the open interest tied to Cardano’s futures witnessed a sharp drop from $841 million to $407 million, registering a loss of 51%.

This downtick primarily triggered due to cascading liquidation from broader market sell-off. However, if the downtrend remains intact,  it would indicate the traders are still hesitant to enter a leverage position in the market.

Cardano Price Poised For Breakout From this Reversal Pattern

Since last month, the Cardano price has witnessed a significant correction from $0.429 to $0.225, accounting for a 40%. This downturn, backed by a steady increase in trading volume accentuates the strong conviction from sellers to drive a prolonged correction.

In addition, the daily chart analysis shows the price movement remains strictly within two downsloping trendlines, indicating the formation of a falling wedge pattern. This chart setup is commonly spotted at the end of downtrend as the converging nature trendlines indicate that the bearish momentum is gradually depleting.

The 20-day exponential moving average acts as dynamic resistance against occasional rebound in ADA price.

Following a recent rebound from the pattern’s bottom trendline at $0.24, the Cardano price is just 7.5% from challenging the pattern’s resistance trendline. A bullish breakout from this resistance could provide buyers a suitable support to drive higher recovery above $0.33 resistance.

On the contrary, if coin price faces renewed selling pressure at overhead trendline, the sellers could force a prolonged correction in price.

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!
