On November 20, crypto whales offloaded significant amounts of Cardano (ADA), disrupting its bullish momentum. However, the narrative shifted today as the Cardano whales’ accumulation has taken center stage.

This renewed buying activity suggests that ADA’s price might regain its bullish momentum toward $1. But does the data support this bullish outlook? 

Cardano Key Investors Change Their Stance

According to IntoTheBlock, Cardano’s large holders’ netflow has surged to 67.51 million ADA, signaling a significant shift in sentiment among crypto whales. The netflow represents the difference between the amount of ADA purchased and sold by large holders over a specific period.

When netflow increases, it indicates that whales are buying more than they are selling. Typically, this is a bullish signal. Conversely, a drop in netflow suggests more selling by whales, which is generally regarded as bearish.

In this case, the recent netflow increase, valued at approximately $55 million, aligns with ADA’s 11% price surge over the last 24 hours. Thus, this Cardano whales accumulation suggests that ADA may be poised for further gains, with the recent uptick serving as a potential foundation for a higher value.

Furthermore, the In/Out of Money Around Price (IOMAP) indicator provides further support for this bullish outlook. For context, the IOMAP analyzes token clusters based on three groups: holders who purchased below the current price (in the money), above the current price (out of the money), and those at breakeven.

This metric is essential for identifying potential support and resistance zones. Specifically, if there is a higher number of tokens “in the money, ” it signifies solid support, as many holders are at a profit and less likely to sell, potentially driving the price higher.

On the other hand, a higher “out of the money,” volume points to resistance, as holders might sell to recover losses, putting downward pressure on the price.

Currently, ADA’s IOMAP shows strong support levels outweighing resistance zones, reinforcing the potential for its price to climb further.

ADA Price Prediction: Move Toward $1 Almost Valid

On the daily chart, ADA’s price has risen above the key Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). Specifically, the 20-day EMA (blue) and 50 EMA (yellow) are below Cardano’s price. When the price is above the indicator, the trend is bullish.

On the other hand, if the price is below the indicator, the trend is bearish. Therefore, it appears that, with the current trend, ADA could rise higher than $0.87. If this happens, the altcoin might rally toward the $1 mark.

However, if Cardano whales decide to sell and book profits, this prediction might not come to pass. Instead, the price could drop to $0.68.
