He <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2105265460086522117\">said<\/a> open interest has declined 9% over the last week, from almost $2 billion to about $1.81 billion.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This suggests traders are reducing leveraged exposure,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Martinez then turned to whale activity, which should serve as a clear bearish signal. According to him, large investors have offloaded 90 million tokens (worth around $22.5 million) since September 20, adding to the recent selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p>His third negative factor is the Tom DeMark Sequential indicator, which flashed a sell signal on ADA&#8217;s daily chart on September 26. Martinez noted that the asset&#8217;s valuation has plunged 10% since then and hinted that the correction may not be over yet.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the market observer focused on $0.24, calling it the key mid-range support. He believes that losing that level could lead to a further drop to $0.21. At the same time, holding the lower boundary could present the next buying opportunity, targeting the channel top near $0.28.<\/p>\n<p>ADA&#8217;s seasonality should also be mentioned. Unlike BTC, which often <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-enters-its-most-bullish-month-after-massive-q3-uptober-or-redtober-next\/\">thrives<\/a> in October, Cardano&#8217;s native token has historically underperformed during this period, finishing in the red six times over the past nine years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1450158\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1450158\" style=\"width: 1369px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ADA-Monthly-Returns.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1450158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ADA Monthly Returns, Source: Crypto Rank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"the-bullish-scenario\">The Bullish Scenario<\/h2>\n<p>Recently, Brazil&#8217;s state oil giant Petrobras reportedly tapped the Cardano blockchain to verify environmental data related to low-carbon fuels.<\/p>\n<p>Several popular X users quickly reposted the development, including TMA | The Money Ape. They <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheMoneyApe\/status\/2105326981742993539\">suggested<\/a> that &#8220;Cardano real-world use case is here,&#8221; reminding that ADA skyrocketed by over 17,000% during the 2021 bull run.<\/p>\n<p>Another market observer who envisioned a major rally is JAVON MARKS. Earlier this month, they said that ADA appears to have &#8220;based&#8221; just like in 2020 before a massive price increase. That said, the analyst expects another \u201cmonstrous run\u201d and set $2.90 as a target.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/cardano-ada-ends-september-with-massive-gains-but-major-bearish-signals-are-flashing\/\">Cardano (ADA) Ends September With Massive Gains: But Major Bearish Signals Are Flashing<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/cardano-ada-ends-september-with-massive-gains-but-major-bearish-signals-are-flashing\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardano&#8217;s native cryptocurrency posted an impressive 23% price increase over the past month and is currently trading just&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47639,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47638\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/47639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
