Cardano’s price has seen a steep 22% decline over the past week, mirroring the broader market downturn. As of this writing, the eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization retails at $0.73.

However, its long-term holders (LTHs) remain unfazed. On-chain data shows that they are holding onto their assets rather than selling.

Cardano’s Long-Term Holders Double Down 

There has been a steady trend of HODLing among ADA’s LTHs, as reflected by its rising Mean Coin Age. According to Santiment, this metric’s value is up 1% since March 3.

An asset’s Mean Coin Age tracks the average age of all its coins in circulation to provide insights into market trends and hodling patterns among investors. 

When it rises, it suggests that investors are holding onto their coins, signaling accumulation and confidence in the asset’s long-term value. This reflects strong hands and hints at a potential bullish outlook for ADA, especially in light of recent broader market headwinds.  

Moreover, ADA whales have increased their accumulation during the period under review, highlighting the surge in positive sentiment toward the altcoin. On-chain data from Santiment shows that large investors holding between 100,000 and 1,000,000 coins have collectively acquired 20 million ADA over the past week.

When large investor holdings increase like this, it signals strong confidence among key holders. It reduces an asset’s available supply, creating upward price pressure. 

ADA Eyes $0.94 as Buyers Dominate 

On the daily chart, ADA’s Balance of Power (BoP) is positive at 0.30. This indicator compares the strength of buyers and sellers in the market.

When its value is positive, buyers dominate the market, exerting stronger pressure than sellers. The bullish signal suggests upward momentum, which, if sustained, will lead to further ADA price appreciation.

In this instance, the coin’s price could rally toward $0.94. If this resistance is flipped into a support floor, ADA’s price could jump to $1.16.
