Cardano on the Brink: Plummeting Ecosystem Metrics Signal Price Peril

Cardano's foundations are cracking. Key network health indicators nosedive—just as ADA bulls need them most.

Where did all the builders go? Developer activity slows to a crawl while competing L1s siphon talent. The 'Ethereum killer' narrative fades faster than a meme coin's hype cycle.

Trading volume evaporates. The 30-day active address count looks like a post-crash stock chart. Even staking yields—Cardano's bread and butter—can't paper over the cracks.

Meanwhile, institutional money flows elsewhere. Hedge funds would rather bet on AI-token vaporware than a top-10 crypto playing catch-up. Ouch.

ADA's price hangs by a thread. The next 30 days will separate the HODLers from the bagholders.

Cardano price technical analysis

The daily chart points to more ADA price sell-off. It remains below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. It has also moved below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages and has formed a large descending channel.

Cardano price has also formed an inverse cup-and-handle pattern, a common bearish continuation signal. It is now in the handle section, and a drop below the lower side will point to further downside, potentially to the 78.6% retracement point at $0.50.
