Cardano [ADA], which lost 5% in the past 24 hours, is still struggling a week after falling out of the top 10 most-capped cryptos.
The gap between ADA and Bitcoin Cash [BCH], which is at position ten, was widening as it was more than $1.20 billion.
The altcoin has persistently displayed weakness, yet the recent support level may mark a significant turning point.
Cardano holds above a key support level
On the three-day chart, Cardano was trading above a demand zone that bulls had defended since mid-2023. The zone at $0.244 initiated the move that reached $1.186 as 2024 came to a close.
On the 4-hour chart, the $0.537 zone was above where the current downtrend started. Price broke above this descending trendline resistance and was retesting it.
However, the altcoin was trading between the two short-term EMAs. Cardano had broken below the 9 EMA, but the 21 EMA was still holding strong.

On the capital flow side, money was moving into ADA, as seen in the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which was at 0.15. This was evident from the data on ADA Futures: longs vs. shorts.
Whales and retail go long 
Whales, retail, and smart money had different views. However, in some instances, whales and retail appeared to align, while smart money remained generally bearish.
As per CoinGlass data, the Long/Short Ratio on Binance was bullish, with retail at 2.48, whale accounts at 2.77, and whale positions at 1.58. Smart money sentiment was extremely bearish even on Bybit.
OKX and binance had the same sentiment, but whale positions on both were bearish, at 0.78 and 0.97, respectively. This meant that whales and retail were buying while smart money was selling.
Apart from the lack of clarity in the price direction due to this mixed sentiment, activity was also not looking promising.
Cardano lags on-chain!
As per data from Token Terminal, the daily trading volume of the past week has been growing gradually. This was after a drop from the week’s high of $614 million.
When writing, the volume was at $549 million, a gradual increase from this week’s daily low of $364 million.
Additionally, active addresses have been stagnant since last year in March, even though there have been a few spikes. There were only 17,691 active addresses on the day.
Moreover, its stablecoin market cap had not shown growth since August of 2025. This indicated that liquidity could be a problem despite the high cumulative trading volume.
Final Summary
Cardano trades above its most important support level with whales and retail going long. ADA was experiencing lagging network activity, which explained why the altcoin had dropped so hard.

Polygon [POL] achieved another milestone in stablecoin transfers.
Interestingly enough, AMBCrypto reported that the network saw a high trading activity and a large number of stablecoin addresses.
The 25.9 million POL burn was another key factor that strengthened the token’s fundamentals. More burns are planned in the coming months to tighten the circulating supply.

On the 1-day timeframe, Polygon has a long-term bearish bias.
While the recent bounce took it past the $0.1 mark, the local resistance at $0.119 was swept before POL reversed in the lower timeframes.
However, the A/D indicator made new local highs to show buyers have some strength. If this pressure is sustained, POL might rally as high as the 78.6% retracement level at $0.1646.
On the way there, the $0.135 level would likely pose the biggest obstacle to the short-term buyers. This outcome would become more likely if the $0.119 level is flipped from resistance to support.
Here’s why POL traders should maintain bearish bias
High network activity and token burns might not be enough to halt short-term selling pressure.
The 1-hour chart revealed the struggle Polygon bulls faced as they pushed prices to the local $0.119 resistance.
On Saturday, the 14th of February, the high hourly trading volume and the strong rally seemed to hint at a possible breakout.
However, the sell-off had high volume too, showing that buyers exhausted themselves pushing the price to resistance. The immediate rejection meant the move only succeeded in grabbing the liquidity clustered around $0.11-$0.12.
The H1 internal structure was bearish once again.
Moreover, this timeframe’s moving averages were on the verge of a bearish crossover and were also acting as resistance to POL at the time of writing.
Combined with the Bitcoin rejection from the $70.7k local supply zone, it appeared highly likely that the Polygon Ecosystem token prices would continue to trend downward in the next few days.
Final Summary
The long-term trend of POL was bearish. However, the coming weeks can see the $0.119 supply zone flipped to demand, and a relief rally to $0.135-$0.164.In the next 24-48 hours, more losses appeared likely for the altcoin.

I didn’t expect to see $69K this fast again. Not because Bitcoin can’t drop. It always can. But because sentiment just two weeks ago felt almost untouchable. Feeds were full of “new highs incoming” charts, leverage was quietly building, and funding rates were creeping up without many people noticing. Then price slips back below $69,000 and suddenly the same timeline sounds cautious.

So what is this move really? A healthy reset… or the early signs of distribution?

Let’s start with the structure, not the emotion.

On higher timeframes, Bitcoin pulling back 5–10% after aggressive upside expansions isn’t unusual. In fact, it’s almost necessary. When price accelerates vertically, open interest tends to expand faster than spot demand. That imbalance creates fragility. The market doesn’t need a big catalyst to correct; it just needs buyers to hesitate. A flush below a psychological level like $69K can simply be leverage cleaning itself out.

But here’s where it gets interesting.

If you look at volume behavior, the recent dip didn’t come with extreme panic volume. That matters. Distribution phases usually show heavy volume on up-moves followed by sharp selloffs with strong continuation. What we’re seeing instead is compression. Smaller candles. Indecision. That doesn’t scream “smart money exiting aggressively.” It feels more like positioning adjustment.

Meanwhile, funding rates across major exchanges cooled off noticeably after the drop. That’s important. When funding resets toward neutral, it reduces the cost of holding longs. Historically, sustainable trends often rebuild from neutral funding, not overheated extremes.

Now let’s talk psychology.

$69K isn’t just a number. It’s a meme level. It’s a previous range area. It’s also close enough to prior highs to trigger fear of a double top narrative. Markets love emotional symmetry. Traders see a similar level and project similar outcomes. That projection alone can create volatility.

The real question isn’t whether price dipped. It’s whether spot demand is absorbing it.

ETF inflows have slowed compared to peak weeks, but they haven’t vanished. On-chain data doesn’t show dramatic long-term holder capitulation either. Coins aren’t suddenly flooding exchanges in a way that signals broad panic. If this were early distribution, you’d expect stronger evidence of supply aggressively rotating out.

That doesn’t mean risk is gone.

If Bitcoin loses $67K with expanding volume and open interest rising again into weakness, that would shift the narrative. That would suggest longs are re-entering too early and getting trapped. Structure matters more than headlines.

There’s also the macro layer. Liquidity conditions are still tight globally. Risk assets are sensitive. Bitcoin doesn’t trade in isolation anymore. It reacts to bond yields, dollar strength, and broader equity volatility more than people admit. A healthy reset in crypto can still turn into a deeper correction if macro pressure intensifies.

But here’s what makes this pullback feel constructive for now: the speed.

Sharp, fast corrections that quickly stabilize tend to be cleaner than slow grinding tops. Distribution usually takes time. It needs patience. Big players don’t dump in one candle; they distribute into strength gradually. So far, this doesn’t look like that kind of methodical unwind.

It looks more like the market reminding everyone that straight lines don’t exist.

For traders, this is where discipline wins. Chasing green candles after vertical expansions often ends badly. But panicking at the first red weekly close isn’t a strategy either. The middle ground is watching liquidity zones, monitoring funding, and tracking whether spot volume supports rebounds.

For longer-term participants, volatility under previous highs is not automatically bearish. In prior cycles, Bitcoin spent weeks chopping below breakout levels before continuation. The key difference between consolidation and distribution is whether dips get bought with conviction.

And that’s what the next few daily closes will reveal.

If price reclaims $69K with increasing spot volume and stable open interest, this will likely be remembered as a reset that shook out late leverage. If instead we see lower highs forming while volume expands on downside moves, then the distribution thesis gains weight.

Right now, the data leans slightly toward reset rather than structural breakdown. Slightly. Not decisively.

Markets rarely announce their intentions clearly. They hint.

Below $69K isn’t a verdict. It’s a test.

The real edge isn’t predicting the next candle. It’s staying flexible while everyone else locks into a narrative.
