ADA was trading at $0.32 at the time of writing after a slight 2.46% gain in 24 hours. While the spot trading volumes have declined slightly, the derivatives market indicates a surge in interest.
According to Coinglass, ADA’s open interest stands at $173M after increasing by around 3%. This indicates that a large number of people are opening and maintaining positions on ADA.
Moreover, the recent gains in ADA price have led to the token forming a bullish pattern. According to trader Daan Crypto on X, ADA price has made a “clean breakout” on the one-hour chart. If the bullish trend continues, the analyst expects ADA to portray more signs of strength.
“ADA pretty clean breakout & retest here. If these things start working out, that’d be a good gauge of market strength… Generally, if things start moving up where they “should,” that’s a sign of strength and vice versa if it doesn’t obviously,” the analyst said.
 
Cardano’s four-hour chart confirms that a bullish trend is brewing. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 45, showing that selling momentum is still at play.
However, the RSI line has been forming higher lows and has also moved above the signal line, confirming bullish momentum is in play.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator also suggests that bulls could take control. Not only is the MACD line above the signal line, but the histogram bars have also turned green, further proving a case for the bulls.
Continuing the bullish momentum, we could see the ADA price heading towards the next resistance level at $0.34.
