At current rates, the acquired stash exceeds $220 million. The collective holdings of these whales and sharks have risen to 25.36 billion tokens, representing nearly 70% of ADA\u2019s circulating supply.<\/p>\n<p>The accumulation comes at a time when Cardano\u2019s native token has been struggling, shedding a significant portion of its value. Towards the end of August, ADA traded around $0.90, whereas it is currently worth roughly $0.27 (per CoinGecko\u2019s data), representing a 70% decline.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1429751\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1429751\" style=\"width: 840px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ADA-Price-2.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1429751\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ADA Price, Source: CoinGecko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Stacking coins during downturns is a common approach among whales, as they often view lower prices as great buying opportunities. This development reduces ADA\u2019s circulating supply, which can be followed by a rally (assuming demand remains stable or heads north). Last but not least, large investors are viewed as experienced market players who may have access to deeper insights, so their actions are rarely considered irrational.<\/p>\n<p>Some technical indicators lean toward a bullish outlook. ADA\u2019s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has plunged below 30 on a weekly scale, signaling that the token has entered oversold territory and could be due for a resurgence. The metric runs from 0 to 100 and helps traders identify potential reversal points by measuring the speed and magnitude of price changes. Ratios under 30 are considered buying opportunities, while anything above 70 is a bearish zone.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1429752\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1429752\" style=\"width: 920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ADA-RSI-.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1429752\" alt=\"ADA RSI\" width=\"920\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=451 451w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=300,h=130 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=90,h=39 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=150,h=65 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=400,h=174 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=200,h=87 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=100,h=43 100w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=9999\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1429752\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=9999\" alt=\"ADA RSI\" width=\"920\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=451 451w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=300,h=130 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=90,h=39 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=150,h=65 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=400,h=174 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=200,h=87 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/de83e3f8-3b58-4aa5-d106-3c4255857800\/w=100,h=43 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1429752\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ADA RSI, Source: CryptoWaves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>ADA\u2019s recent exchange netflow is the next factor in focus.
