Just noticed ADA pumping 7% in the last day - went from $0.2546 to $0.2916, but honestly the bigger picture still looks rough. Down 22% over the month and struggling to find real conviction. The real question is whether this is an actual reversal or just a dead cat bounce before the next leg down.
Bitcoin seems to be the key here. BTC rallied from $62k to $66k and held above $65k, which is basically the only reason altcoins are getting any bid right now. That's the gating factor for whether ADA can actually build on this. Without BTC staying strong, I'm skeptical this holds.
Volume-wise, Cardano's 24h volume ticked up 0.94% to $413.38M, so there's some activity backing this move. Traders are watching the $0.26 support hard - if that breaks, we're probably back to lower lows. The $0.28-$0.30 band is the next zone to watch. Open interest had dipped below $500M which is why some are cautious about leverage getting trapped.
The setup only gets less risky if BTC holds $65k and volume stays elevated. Otherwise it's textbook dead cat territory where late buyers get caught. Keeping an eye on what bitcoin does - that's literally everything for altcoins right now.
