ADA has experienced a sharp correction in the short term. From a technical perspective, the price has broken below all key moving averages, confirming a bearish alignment. Last week on the 29th evening and early morning of the 30th, two consecutive signals of large fund withdrawals appeared, which typically indicate that the main players have completed distribution, and negative sentiment follows.



The most notable data comes from the derivatives market. Statistics show that the long-short liquidation ratio within 4 hours reached 408:1, setting a recent record. This is not just a simple correction but a rapid wipeout of long positions.

Market sentiment is clearly divided. Some leading leverage trading platforms have long positions exceeding 65%, while certain derivatives platforms have short positions over 60%. This extreme polarization often accelerates trend movements—retail traders' opposing stances across different platforms effectively act as accelerators for unidirectional price movement.

The RSI indicator has entered oversold territory, but caution is needed—oversold does not mean bottom, especially in a clearly downward trend environment, where rebounds are likely just corrections.

From a technical target perspective, the key levels of 0.328 and 0.30 are worth close attention. In the current bearish pattern, the price may continue to probe lower towards around 0.30.

Key reminder: The essence of trading is a probability game. In such a clear downtrend, the odds have already tilted. If you are still going long against the trend, the behind-the-scenes data of liquidation might add an extra numerator. Managing risk and following the trend are the survival principles in this type of market.

ada this wave is really fierce, the 408:1 liquidation ratio makes my scalp tingle

How are the brothers who went long against the trend doing? Are you still alive?

See you at 0.30, we'll talk then

The main force's distribution this time is really ruthless, retail investors are still buying the dip

Oversold ≠ bottom, this is not wrong to say, don't be fooled by the rebound

408:1 liquidation ratio... How many people are really going all-in? I just can't understand.

Retail investors are truly just the bagholders, fighting each other completely on their own.

Whether 0.30 can be held or not is still uncertain; let's see if 0.328 can hold first.

Oversold rebounds are all traps; I believe in this now.

Buying against the trend is just giving the main players money; there's really no suspense in this wave.

Anyway, I've switched to a short position, maybe there's still hope below.

408:1 liquidation ratio is really incredible, this is clearly clearing out retail investors

---

How do you feel now, brother who went long against the trend? Say it out loud and make everyone laugh

---

RSI is oversold and you still want to catch the bottom? Wake up, this is a false rebound in the downtrend

---

The bearish pattern is so clear, why not follow? You have to wait until 0.30 to regret

---

The main force has finished distributing, and bad news is coming. As expected, it's always the same routine

---

Long positions are 65%, short positions are 60%, this level of division is pushing the price down

---

Another coin that hasn't been thoroughly wiped out, keep exploring the bottom

---

0.328 is a hurdle but can't hold, heading straight to 0.30

---

After the liquidation data, there are indeed more "molecules," quite ruthless

---

The trend is downward, and you still want to fight for a rebound? Bro, you're gambling with your principal on luck

408:1? Is this damn clearing out or slaughtering?

Brothers going long against the trend probably regret it now with their guts all twisted.

ADA really can't be bottomed out this wave, just follow the trend.

Oh my god, I just wanted to buy the dip but got trapped for 5,000 bucks.

Overbought ≠ bottoming out, I need to engrain this in my mind.

See you around 0.30, everyone, or else I’ll have to keep exploring.

Retail traders going long are probably crying, this is called getting cut.

Bull-bear split 65% vs 60%? That’s playing with fire.

I just don’t believe it can drop further, anyway I’ve already gone all-in on shorts.

All moving averages are dead crosses, now it’s serious.

408:1? This is obviously a pump-and-dump scheme, all the longs have entered.

Counter-trend buying takes real courage, probably another bunch of people got liquidated.

If 0.30 breaks, I really might just give up...

This round of cleaning is pretty harsh, the main players are completely unscrupulous.

Seeing RSI oversold makes me want to buy the dip, but I’m waiting to be repeatedly stabbed.

When will it go up? I can't take it anymore.

Long positions are at 65%, and they still dare to go long? I just don’t understand these people.

Following the trend is never wrong, I just fear I lack the resolve.

This is the real big show, retail investors fighting each other.

408:1 liquidation ratio, this is too violent

To everyone going long against the trend, good luck

ADA is indeed fierce this wave, all moving averages broken, the bearish pattern is clear

Those exchanges still holding over 65% long positions are really playing with fire

Follow the trend, don't mess with those fancy tricks, surviving is winning

Can 0.30 hold? Feels like it still needs to be pushed down further

Retail traders fighting each other, and in the end, all get eaten by the big players, a classic case

Oversold rebound? Uh, in this kind of market, it's just a routine, don't be too optimistic

408:1 liquidation ratio... I've said it before, this kind of capital withdrawal pattern is a typical signal of main players distributing. According to on-chain data, the timing of these two large fund transfers is interesting—on the evening of the 29th and early morning of the 30th, clearly avoiding certain detections.

Something's off, way too off.

Extreme divergence like 65% long and 60% short clearly indicates that related funds are at play. Tracking through multiple addresses reveals that these retail investors have no idea they've been used as accelerators. After analysis and judgment, the 0.30 price level is their set target for liquidation.

Brothers going against the trend... forget it, the data will speak.

408:1 liquidation ratio, this isn't an adjustment, it's a slaughter

Brothers going long against the trend are probably wiped out again now

This round of cleansing is quite intense, be cautious if you want to buy the dip

ADA has really dropped hard this time, continue to watch 0.30

408:1 liquidation ratio... This is damn slaughterhouse

How are you all doing with the counter-trend longs? Hope you're well haha

ADA this time really leaves no room for negotiation, in front of the trend everyone is equal

Another oversold rebound trap, old trick

Let's see if it drops to 0.30 first, chasing longs now is just giving away money
