$ADA rose 11.22% over 24 hours, but gained only 0.56% in the most recent full hour, closing at 0.2712 USDT. The rally clearly lost momentum in the final hour. Hourly trading volume was 1.94 times the median for the previous 20 full hours, so activity remains elevated, but price has not kept pace with volume. More notably, open interest increased 18.52% over 24 hours, indicating expanding leverage exposure during this period. Consider the rally to be continuing only if the price regains and holds above the most recent full hour's high of 0.2741 USDT; if it falls below that hour's low of 0.2688 USDT, the current structure should be considered invalidated. An increase in open interest does not indicate whether positions are long or short; it only means overall exposure is expanding.
