Cardano Drops 10% to Test $0.40–$0.44 Support as $0.50 Reclaim Level Comes Into Focus

Mixed derivatives signals keep focus on whether ADA can hold the $0.40–$0.44 floor.

Overview

  • ADA trades around $0.41–$0.42 after a sharp one‑day slide that followed the Federal Reserve’s rate cut and a broader market pullback.
  • Midnight’s NIGHT token, launched with an airdrop, has fallen roughly 80% from its early spike as recipients sold into the market.
  • Derivatives positioning skews bearish with about 54% of active ADA positions short, while reports on open interest diverge between a 13% drop to about $725.6 million and claims of an increase.
  • On‑chain readings show elevated network use, with transactions at a nine‑month high and daily active addresses at a four‑month high, according to Santiment data cited in coverage.
  • Large flows include roughly $750 million worth of ADA moved to Binance, and traders highlight $0.50–$0.51 as the confirmation band to validate any sustained recovery after reclaiming levels above $0.45.
