Notably, the volume of large Cardano transactions on the network has exceeded $22 billion per day. He notes that these large transactions appear to be associated with high levels of accumulation. Whales holding $1 million to over $10 million in ADA have increased their positions by more than 100% in the past month.

If this pattern holds, he noted that ADA could target $6. He notes that a key support point for the bullish thesis is $0.80, where 48,000 addresses bought almost 1.20 billion ADA. It is currently trading at $0.9686, up more than 20% in the last 24 hours.
