<a href="https://tech-oracle.com/ada-usd/">Cardano</a> Is Down 400% Since November 2025: Yet 79% of Its Community is Bullish

Key Takeaways

  • ADA fell 4.85% on April 7.
  • RSI at 31.71.
  • Santiment data shows the 365-day MVRV at -43%.
  • Binance funding rate shows the largest short ratio since June 2023.
  • ADA has declined 400% since November.

A Failed Breakout Sets the Tone

On April 6th, ADA’s price rose to $0.26 with increased trading activity. This increase looked like a potential recovery, as trading volume was growing and the price was breaking through recent resistance levels. This happened after the overall crypto market calmed down following a surge the day before, which was influenced by global events.

As of April 7th, ADA had recovered to $0.2437. The 50-day Simple Moving Average, at $0.2486, had almost been reached but now acts as a resistance level. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) dropped to 31.71, falling more quickly than its signal line at 37.44. The main takeaway from the last two days is that while buyers attempted a breakout, sellers were stronger, and the overall downward trend continues.

While the initial price gives us a baseline, my research into the blockchain data reveals a more complex picture. It suggests the price doesn’t fully represent the underlying reality.

What Santiment’s Data Shows and Why It Matters Together

Two readings from Santiment define ADA’s current setup, and they only make sense read as a pair.

Cardano’s 365-day MVRV is currently at -43%, meaning the average wallet is down 43% on its initial investment. According to Santiment, this level historically suggests a potential recovery is more likely than further price drops. This is because when losses get this large, fewer people are willing to sell, which reduces the downward pressure on the price. Long-term buyers start seeing this as a good time to invest. While a -43% MVRV doesn’t guarantee a price bottom, it makes a recovery more probable.

This reading aligns with another concerning signal. Currently, the number of short positions on Binance for ADA is at its highest point since June 2023, indicating many traders are betting on its price falling. While this initially seems to confirm a downward trend, considering it alongside the MVRV data tells a different story. Santiment’s analysis suggests that when funding rates are this extreme, traders are often forced to close their positions in an unexpected direction. Because so many traders are currently shorting a struggling asset, even a small price increase could trigger a rapid surge, pushing the price up much further than expected based on its underlying value alone.

These two indicators work together to suggest a potential market bottom. A very low MVRV ratio typically means there’s less incentive for long-term holders to sell, while a large number of short positions increases the risk for those betting against the market. Historically, these conditions have appeared before price increases, not during periods where selling continues.

The Community That Won’t Capitulate and What That Reveals

Despite a 4.85% price drop today and being down 400% from its November high, Cardano (ADA) currently ranks as the 7th most optimistic cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCap, with 79% of users expressing positive sentiment.

Binance users are currently shorting ADA more than they have since June 2023. Despite a significant price drop – with active wallets averaging a 43% loss – over 79% of the Cardano community still believe the price will go up.

Right now, the situation with ADA is sending a very clear signal. A large number of traders are betting the price will fall (known as ‘shorting’), but these bets are facing strong opposition from a dedicated group of long-term holders. Despite months of price drops, unsuccessful attempts to rise, and weakening market activity, this community hasn’t shown any indication of giving up, suggesting a potential reversal of the downward trend.

Just because the market is volatile doesn’t justify the bearish outlook. In fact, those betting against it are currently facing the biggest risk. With evidence suggesting a positive change is likely, the real losers won’t be those who’ve already experienced significant losses – they’ve already absorbed a 400% drop in under a year. It’s the traders who recently made their largest bets expecting further decline who are most vulnerable.

There’s a growing belief within the Cardano community, and it seems to be justified: Midnight, a network connected to Cardano, has just partnered with its first bank in the U.K. to offer tokenized deposits. This suggests that institutions are starting to adopt the technology, even as the broader market pays attention to falling prices.

This bank collaboration aligns with Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s founder, publicly advocating for Midnight – the next stage of Cardano’s development. Midnight is specifically designed to focus on how institutions can use the Cardano blockchain.
