Large holder selling and upgrade anticipation drive sell pressure

Cardano is preparing for a significant network upgrade with the upcoming rollout of Node 10.7.0, which will include an intra-era hard fork as part of Protocol version 11, pending successful testnet and performance outcomes. On-chain reports show large holders have recently reduced their positions, intensifying sell pressure. The platform’s founder also announced a security improvement for its AI agent, and CME Group has confirmed plans to launch regulated Cardano futures contracts in the future.

Bearish momentum persists despite oversold bounce signals

Momentum readings from both the MACD and ADX indicate a bearish bias, with weak upward conviction despite a single-day gain. Oversold signals are confirmed by the RSI (33.3) and CCI, while the Stochastic RSI shows oversold but turning up, hinting at short-term relief. Bull/Bear Power remains negative, signifying that sellers retain control of intraday momentum. The daily session opened higher with a noticeable gap and is currently trading in the mid-range of today’s session. Intraday volatility is moderate, and there has been some strength off the open, but rebounds remain constrained by overall downtrend momentum. Some oscillators indicate potential for a technical bounce, but this is at odds with the persistently negative momentum backdrop.

Downside risk prevails as breakout probability stays low

The expected price range for the next five trading days is $0.285 to $0.310, centering movement close to the current price amid prevailing volatility. There is a very low probability (less than 20%) of an upward breakout, making further downside the more likely scenario. In the baseline case, ADA is likely to remain in a sideways corridor between $0.285 and $0.310. A bullish breakout above $0.310 would require clear upside momentum, while a daily close below $0.285 could open the door for new lows given the negative trend indicators.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent selling pressure on Cardano as it trades well below all major moving averages. He notes that weak momentum and large holder exits limit chances of a reversal. Despite some upcoming network developments and CME’s plans for futures, the technical setup remains bearish. "Until ADA can break above $0.310 with conviction, I remain defensive and view sideways or lower as the base scenario."

Previously it was reported that Cardano is trading well below all key moving averages, with persistent bearish momentum supported by weak MACD and ADX signals, while momentum oscillators such as RSI and CCI indicate oversold conditions but show no evidence of an imminent reversal. The asset remains near the lower end of a defined range with sellers in control, lacking significant support nearby and facing further downside risk unless resistance near $0.325 is reclaimed.
