Cardano's largest investors are aggressively accumulating ADA, reversing a year-long selloff, as on-chain historical patterns now flash strong buy signals for a major price surge. Whale wallets have added over $120 million in holdings this quarter, a pivotal shift in sentiment that technical analysts warn could trigger a volatile breakout rally in the coming weeks.

Cardano Sees Renewed Activity

According to the on-chain tracking platform, Santiment, the Cardano network is beginning to see some much-needed change when it comes to participation. The network saw a major surge in activity as reported earlier in the week, suggesting that sentiment toward the altcoin is beginning to move again.

Santiment’s data focused on Cardano wallets holding at least 10 million ADA, meaning these are the whale wallets. This large investor cohort had begun to make more moves, rapidly adding to their already massive holdings as the ADA price continued to struggle.

As the tracker reports, the number of wallets holding at least 10 million ADA has now moved up to 424. This means that it is the first time in more than one month that this metric is moving, and it translates to a 5.92% increase in whale wallets.

ADA Investors Are Very Bullish

While the Cardano whales are coming back to the table, the sentiment is beginning to turn toward the positive again. An earlier report from Santiment shows that ADA investors are still heavily bullish despite most being underwater. The data comes out to around 79% of all investors still bullish and expecting the cryptocurrency’s price to actually move upward.

In addition to this, the month of April has usually been rather bullish for the Cardano price, with more green closes than red for this month throughout history. CryptoRank’s data puts the average ADA price returns for April at 14.1%, suggesting that there could be some positive movement for the cryptocurrency.

The rise in whale volume is also a net positive as these large buys go toward reducing the available supply on the market. Thereby, introducing scarcity and pushing the price upwards. However, the direction of the general crypto market still comes into play, meaning that if the market does go bullish, the likelihood of the ADA price going up becomes higher.
