This heavy distribution comes alongside a 15% weekly price decline. Such large-scale exits often point to profit-taking or a lack of confidence among major holders, triggering short-term bearish sentiment.

Whale Distribution Pressures ADA Price

According to Martinez, this selling phase comes after ADA briefly tested its multi-month resistance line as whales offloaded ADA at relatively higher levels.

However, on-chain metrics show no large-scale exchange inflows beyond the whale sell-off, indicating that retail holders are largely holding steady.

Martinez also added that ADA’s price structure remains within a large symmetrical triangle formation, a pattern that has been developing since 2022.

The analyst said that if ADA breaks above $0.9, the next target would be $1.8, making ADA a top crypto to buy in 2025.

ADA Price Analysis: Testing Long-Term Support

The weekly chart shows ADA repeatedly rejecting the descending resistance line extending from its 2021 highs. Currently, ADA trades at $0.69, hovering just above the key horizontal support zone around $0.53-$0.71.

The Bollinger Bands reveal tightening volatility as ADA remains below the middle band near $0.76, confirming that sellers are still in control in the short term.

However, a breakout above this level could mark the early stages of recovery toward $0.90 and $1.

On the other hand, the RSI sits around 45.6 and the MACD histogram is slightly negative but flattening. Also, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) remains near neutral at 0.11, showing that capital outflows are slowing down.

End of a Multi-Year Consolidation?

ADA must defend the $0.69-$0.53 range and break decisively above the descending trendline near $0.75-$0.80. Such a move could trigger a rally toward $0.90, followed by a breakout toward $1.8662, ending ADA’s multi-year consolidation.

The bearish scenario, however, would materialize if ADA fails to hold above $0.53. A weekly close below this level could invalidate the triangle pattern and send prices toward $0.40 or even lower, reopening the path to 2022 lows.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
