The post Cardano ADA Enters Top 10 Cryptos List After 16% Surge Today appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Cardano (ADA) has jumped back into the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap after a strong 16% rally today. The token climbed from a low of $0.25 to nearly $0.312, pushing its total market value to around $10.6 billion.
Here’s what is actually driving the Cardano ADA price up today?
Crypto Market Recovery Helps Cardano Price Bounce
One of the main reasons behind this rally is the overall recovery in the crypto market. The total market cap has climbed to $2.34 trillion, up 4.4%. This strong move lifted major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano.
After the sharp recovery, Cardano surged 16%, rising from a low of $0.25 to around $0.312.
Cardano Surges 16% as Whales Buy $213M ADA,
Another major reason behind Cardano’s rally is strong accumulation by whales and large investors. According to Santiment data, wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million ADA have accumulated over 819.4 million ADA in the past six months.
This amount is worth about $213.9 million and represents around 1.6% of Cardano’s total supply. Such accumulation has historically marked early recovery phases in crypto markets.
Cardano Trading Volume Explodes 181%
Another slight push came from Cardano price, which saw a massive surge in 24-hour trading volume, which spiked 181% to $1.15B, indicating strong buying pressure and validating the price move.
Interestingly, Cardano’s price also saw a strong liquidation of $2.4 million in the last 24 hours. Most of the liquidation, around 75%, came from short liquidation.
What Next For Cardano ADA Price?
Looking at the Cardano daily chart, ADA shows early signs of a potential breakout after months of steady decline. Price has been trading inside a descending trendline since late 2025, forming lower highs and lower lows.
Recently, ADA compressed into a tight triangle pattern near the $0.27–$0.28 support zone, indicating reduced volatility and buildup for a larger move.
The price is now attempting to break above the short-term downtrend line around $0.29. A confirmed daily close above $0.35 could open the path toward $0.40, followed by a stronger resistance zone near $0.50.
The projected move on the chart suggests a possible upside toward the $0.70–$0.73 area if bullish momentum strengthens.
