Cardano whales bought more than 348 million ADA during a quiet stretch, in a show of fresh confidence as the market waits for a breakout.
Cardano has spent the past few weeks moving sideways. The cryptocurrency has hovered around the same range for the past year, and retail participation remains muted.
Cardano whales did not seem bothered by that and quietly stepped back into the market to buy a massive amount of ADA while sentiment stayed weak.
Cardano Whales Stack Coins
Santiment data confirmed that whales and sharks accumulated 348 million ADA during a four day stretch. The stash was worth around about 204 million dollars based on recent prices and the buying wave accounts for roughly 0.94% of the entire circulating supply.
That share shows how aggressive these holders have been despite ADA’s weak price trend.
A rise in prices appeared on the accumulation chart right after ADA slipped below the 0.50 dollar mark.
Cardano’s key stakeholders have accumulated big since its drop below $0.50 last week. In the past 4 days alone, whales and sharks have:

This pattern has occurred during several previous corrections and each time, large holders bought during quiet periods while ADA eventually staged a rebound. The new data indicates that these investors see value at current prices and prefer to secure entries before any stronger move begins.
Historical Patterns Still Favor a Strong ADA Reaction
Past cycles offer a useful comparison. ADA has a history of long consolidation phases followed by sharp rallies. The DApp Analyst reviewed the last two years in a recent post and pointed out similar setups over the last two years.
Both periods saw about ten months of sideways action. After that, ADA completed rallies of 200 to 300%.
Will 2025 be like ‘23 & ‘24?$ADA has spent the entire year consolidating between $0.5-$1.3.
Can we finally get a breakout? https://t.co/qER4998nk9 pic.twitter.com/322hW1hLTT

The current stretch seems similar to those earlier phases. ADA has spent most of the current year moving between $0.50 and $1.30 without a clear direction. The structure is similar to past ranges that formed before large upward breaks.
When combined with the latest accumulation trend, the pattern could mean that Cardano is gearing up for a move.
Analysts are asking whether this year can follow the same script, as ADA’s chart sits at a level that has often acted as a base before upsurges.
Cardano Whales Prepare Ahead of the Upcoming Summit
The timing of this accumulation also stands out. November is expected to bring the Cardano Summit 2025 to Berlin.
Events like this often raise interest because project leaders come together to share updates, roadmaps and technical progress. Investors even sometimes use these gatherings to reassess their expectations for the long-term.
Even with that backdrop, investors (particularly retailers) continue to move with caution. As of writing, the altcoin season index remains below 40. That reading shows a weaker appetite among traders outside major assets.
ADA currently sits in the middle of that hesitancy, even though whales have not slowed their activity.
ADA Faces a Clear Price Test as It Tries to Reclaim $0.60
Attention now seems to be on the $0.60 range. That zone acted as resistance during recent attempts to rebound. ADA needs to break above that area to show real strength.
An advance above $0.60 would give ADA room to test $0.65 or even $0.70.
Whale activity alone cannot guarantee a breakout. The market still depends on steady buy support and stable conditions.
Bitcoin continues to guide the general market direction, so ADA might struggle if Bitcoin turns lower again.
In all, if ADA fails to reclaim $0.60, the price might drift back to the 0.50 area. Some traders are also watching the 0.47 dollar support that held during last week’s drop. Both zones remain important for stability over the short term.
Still, the new accumulation wave indicates that buyers expect strength rather than further weakness.
