ADA has dropped almost 42% in three months and about 53% over the past year.
It sits 92% below its all-time high above $3, reached four years ago. Trading volume fell nearly 17% in the last 24 hours to just over $361M — modest next to Solana (SOL) at $2.6B and XRP (XRP) at $1.5B over the same period.
Dominance Decline Concerns
The bullish case extends beyond wallet counts. Martinez had identified $0.245 as a support level and noted that similar zones preceded historical rallies of 85% and 200%.
Analysts called a bottom and targeted a move above $0.60 in Q2, though that projection lacked detailed analysis. ADA remains below its 50-, 100-, and 200-day exponential moving averages, which keeps the broader trend bearish.
ADA's share of total crypto market capitalization has collapsed from around 4.5% in 2021 to roughly 0.3% today.
That shrinking dominance complicates the accumulation narrative. Whales may be loading up, but the market has so far refused to follow.
