$ADA LIQUIDITY SWEEP FAILS — BEARS STILL HAVE THE EDGE

ADA swept below 0.2534, but instead of producing a meaningful recovery, the move is keeping the bearish structure firmly in focus. Is this a liquidity trap before another leg lower?

My bias remains bearish on ADAUSDT.P while price stays below 0.2580.

The sweep below 0.2534 looks like a classic liquidity grab within an established lower-high/lower-low structure. Price reclaimed the level briefly, but without a meaningful trend reversal, I would treat this as potential fuel for continuation rather than a confirmed bounce.

The bearish case is strengthened by the 1H, weekly and BTC structures all remaining bearish.

Trading Setup:

Short Entry Zone: 0.2558–0.2592
TP1: 0.2505
TP2: 0.2465
TP3: 0.2421
Invalidation: 1H close above 0.2580

For a fresh short, I would wait for price to bounce into the 0.2558–0.2592 resistance/FVG zone and then look for confirmation such as a bearish engulfing candle, rejection wick, or 15m market structure shift back to the downside.

Flow Data:
OI: $107.3M (-1.2% 24h)
Funding: -0.0005%
Taker Ratio: 0.78x
Whale Flow ~6m: $423K Buy vs $50K Sell

The whale flow shows notable buying activity, so a short should not be chased blindly. If buyers reclaim 0.2580 with a strong 1H close, the bearish thesis is invalidated and a potential bullish structure shift comes into play.

Until that happens, rallies into resistance remain potential short opportunities, with 0.2505, 0.2465 and 0.2421 as the key downside levels.

Trade the confirmation, not the noise.
