Cardano (ADA) will end this month with a bearish performance regardless of the lucrative start. Market players remained optimistic about a bullish outcome in September amid heightened developments. Nevertheless, ADA surged around 18% within September’s initial eleven days.
Retracement emerged, pushing it to retest August lows. Cardano hovered at $0.43 during this publication. That meant ADA explored value areas near the $0.42 monthly low. Furthermore, the altcoin previously secured support from this mark.
ADA might rebound from the same near-term support upon history repeat. The press time performance indicated deteriorated investor confidence. That explained why the alternative token didn’t attain an attractive uptrend, regardless of the recent massive network upgrade.
Cardano’s velocity reflected the absence of investor confidence, with the same at its 4-week lows during this publication. That showed fewer trading activities on the ADA ecosystem within the past few days.
The token’s 24hr active addresses index also highlighted a similar case. Markets expected these observations, considering ADA’s 2022 performance.
Is anything Good from ADA?
It’s not all gloom and doom for the alternative token since there were bullish movements around the current support.
Cardano’s MVRV (Market Value-Realized Value) ratio rebounded sharply over the past two days. That confirmed some massive purchases that exhibited profitability following a minor upside.
Also, the MVRV upsurge confirmed some demand around the current support. Moreover, it could clarify what market players may expect in the coming sessions. A potential outcome was ADA might rebound from its present area in September amidst another bullish trial.
Potential Catalysts
Considering Cardano’s current situation, ADA would require a catalyst to boost investor confidence. Meanwhile, the latest IOHK update could be enough to ensure that. The update stated that Vasil succeeded while explaining the benefits of the fork.
Also, the update confirmed Cardano’s preparedness to host decentralized applications, which welcomed cost-effectiveness and increased efficiency. Meanwhile, Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Bitbank recently revealed plans to list ADA.
Joining leading exchanges, especially in Japan, could be another imminent ADA catalyst. That’s because it will lead to heightened liquidity. Cardano’s position might fade due to low investor interest, though market participants could expect a shift soon.
Remember, ADA has (historically) witnessed such phases after a buying pressure influx. Its present support plus the mentioned catalyst might ensure lucrative surroundings for another bullish wave.
