Assessing why ADA may bulls may show their strength in the coming days

Despite the noteworthy dip in open interest, on-chain data also reveals that buying activity has been more dominant in the last few days. ADA’s on-chain data, especially its supply distribution, reveals a net gain in some whale addresses.
Addresses holding between 10 million and 1 billion coins have been accumulating over the last four weeks. The same addresses hold most of ADA’s circulating supply and have thus been contributing to bullish momentum.

Addresses in the 100 million to 1 billion bracket have been the most noteworthy bullish proponents recently. The same addresses registered a large spike in number of coins held, hence confirming strong accumulation in the last few days.
ADA’s mean coin age showed steady upside in the last four weeks, confirming the same whale activity. Its market cap also bounced by almost $800 million in the last few days, which confirmed a strong influx of liquidity.

Despite these findings, ADA’s on-chain volume remained within the normal range. Perhaps this is an indicator that retail buyers have yet to exercise their full buying potential.
If that is the case, then we will likely witness more bullish momentum in the coming days if the retail participants jump on board.
