Cardano Jumps 12 % as Long-Term Holders Refuse to Sell
2025/07/03 05:30Cardano’s price has risen 12% in the last 24 hours, offering ADA holders hope for recovery after a 24% loss in June.
This shift in momentum is supported by key holder groups, long-term holders (LTHs), and short-term holders (STHs), both of whom are hesitant to sell. These factors may provide the stability needed for a price rebound.
Cardano Holders Refrain From Selling
The Mean Coin Age (MCA) data reveals that LTHs are returning to HODLing after a brief period of selling. This shift toward accumulation is vital for reversing the overall negative momentum observed in recent months. LTHs control a substantial portion of Cardano’s circulating supply, and their decision to hold rather than sell can significantly influence the price.
This change in sentiment from the LTHs is helping create a more sustainable market environment for ADA. Their actions are crucial in providing support as the LTH’s stability typically stabilizes Cardano’s price.

The MVRV Long/Short Difference currently sits at a neutral mark, signaling that neither LTHs nor STHs are sitting on profits. This neutrality is an important indicator, as it suggests that short-term holders are not yet in profit, which would typically prompt them to sell and drive the price down.
With both groups of holders in a neutral stance, the pressure to sell is significantly reduced, which can help stabilize Cardano’s price. This market condition provides a favorable setup for Cardano, as neither cohort is likely to cause downward price pressure through mass selling.

ADA Price Needs To Secure Support
As of the time of writing, Cardano’s price is up 12%, trading at $0.60. However, this level represents a key barrier that Cardano has yet to establish as support. The market sentiment and accumulation trends provide a positive backdrop, but the altcoin faces a critical test at this level.
Securing $0.60 as support could signal the beginning of a more sustained upward movement.
If Cardano successfully flips $0.60 into a support level, the next logical price target would be $0.66. This move would indicate that the cryptocurrency is recovering more than the 24% losses seen in early June.

However, if Cardano fails to push past the $0.60 mark and drops back due to unforeseen bearish conditions, it could consolidate within a range of $0.60 and $0.54. This would invalidate the current bullish outlook.
