Just noticed something interesting on Cardano. The funding rates just flipped to their most negative level since mid-2023, and that's usually when things get weird in the market. Basically, traders are heavily short right now, which historically has preceded sharp reversals rather than further downside.



At the same time, the average ADA holder who bought over the past year is sitting on around 43% losses. When you combine that with the extreme short positioning, you get a setup that's caught most traders off guard before. Back in 2023, when both signals aligned like this, ADA was trading around $0.25 and went on a massive 300% run over the next 18 months.

Now, that doesn't mean history repeats. ADA is still down significantly from its peak, macro conditions are rough, and the ecosystem hasn't shown the kind of growth that would justify a fundamental rally. But positioning-wise, this is the kind of moment where the next move could surprise everyone. Current price sitting around $0.24 on weak volume. Worth watching if you're looking for contrarian setups.
ADA-0,83%
